Zibo Daily Newspaper Printing Center is responsible for printing the local printing services of Zibo Daily, Zibo Evening News and other brother newspapers, and has always used the plate-making process from phototypesetting to film to manual imposition. In recent years, the business of Zibo Daily has developed rapidly, and the Socialist Party Committee has proposed the concept of "cleanly running daily newspapers, prosperously running evening newspapers, and professionally organizing sound, body and beauty newspapers" and "news promotion is the mission, production and management The business philosophy of "Life" requires that newspapers not only have to be improved in terms of quality, but also to achieve a large expansion in terms of quantity, so as to occupy more markets and enhance the influence of newspapers. In this environment, the subscription volume of newspapers in recent years has been one step a year, and the layout of each newspaper has expanded and expanded, and the black and white version has been changed to single-sided color and double-sided color. Daily newspaper. The pressure on the printing business has also grown. At the same time, the printing quality of newspapers is also the most controversial issue with advertisers. Sometimes the preliminary work of the advertising department is very solid. However, due to the printing quality, the advertising department ’s work is often abandoned, and the money collected cannot be returned. Business slipped away. For this reason, the advertising department complained and the newspaper leaders were extremely dissatisfied, which directly affected the newspaper's economic benefits. I am the person in charge of the pre-press factory. The early phototypesetter in the factory has been aging, the maintenance cost has become very expensive and affects the pre-press quality. After comprehensively evaluating the technical status in the factory, I decided to solve the problem that affects the pre-press quality of the newspaper. Bottlenecks have become our top priority and top priority.
With the care and support of the newspaper leaders, in 2008, after more than two months of inspection and demonstration, we decided to purchase the most advanced Kodak Quansheng 800III large-format fully automatic direct plate-making machine. The flexible configuration of this model is different from other Kodak business machines. After the automatic publishing function of the newspaper industry is selected, the labor intensity of manual publishing can be reduced, making it a versatile, stable and reliable domestic plate material. 2. Maintenance system is perfect. The dual-use model of commercial newspapers is also available. At the same time, it is also purchased with digital communication workflow software, digital proofing, large-format automatic punching machine and automatic bending punching machine (TY-800 Tang Yun). This is our thoughtful choice, and we feel that as a pre-press advancement compared with the imagesetter, it is the best to get the best, and the complete support to solve the problem completely.
After several months of use, the CTP direct plate-making system has stable performance, convenient operation, and a high degree of automation. It has been and is generating new economic benefits: the device outputs high-resolution commercial large plates during the day and low-resolution newspaper plates at night. , There is no trace of manual stitching in the whole-page output, the layout is clean and clear, the dots are sharp, the printing quality of the newspaper is significantly improved, and the market response is very good; the pre-press publishing time is greatly shortened; overprinting accurately reduces the waste of paper and ink, improves the utilization rate and economy Benefit; save a lot of manpower and material resources, greatly save the cost of newspapers.
The advantages of computer-to-plate technology are shown in the following four aspects:
1. Direct plate-making technology eliminates the process of film imaging, manual imposition, plate-making and PS plate display fixing in the past, which is replaced by traditional laser phototypesetting. Digital technology replaces traditional analog technology. In this process, film is not used. Imaging the layout information directly on the printing plate reduces the number of image transfers and man-made influence on the layout. The dots on the printing plate are direct imaging dots, the image is clear and sharp, and the information will not be lost in the high-profile parts. In the dark tone part of the network, there will be no paste. The quality of the printing plate is greatly improved, and the printing effect is much better than before.
2. The more direct effect of process reduction is to save a lot of time and reduce the number of operators required. Saved a lot of labor and reduced labor intensity. The staff was reduced from 10 to 5 in the past, and the working time was reduced by 2 hours than before; the preparation time before printing was greatly shortened, and the conditions for the printing time on the printing machine were unchanged Next, the deadline for newspapers can be postponed by more than an hour, allowing sufficient time for editing and printing; the time for newspapers to meet readers is advanced, which greatly enhances the timeliness and effective reading period of newspapers.
3. Compared with the original plate-making process, the computer-based plate-making technology does not require the use of a fixing solution, which meets the national environmental protection requirements, and is more economical and environmentally friendly from the perspective of use. This model can also be applied if no-rinse plates are promoted on the market in the future.
4. Achieve the standardization and dataization of newspaper printing plate making, and improve the stability of newspaper printing quality. In the past, because of printing quality problems, there were often conflicts between the printing and platemaking workshops. You said that my platemaking deviation, I said that you are not allowed to print sets, the lawsuits that can't be finished every day, and the accounts can't be finished. After this is completely resolved, everything is determined by data and standardization, and the quality of the newspaper is the best basis for the problem data.
The successful operation of Kodak's direct plate-making system has placed our printing plant's pre-press plate-making technology at the forefront of the province's prefectural and municipal newspapers. The printing capacity has also been greatly improved, and the printing effect is even better. Tight foreign printing business will therefore be greatly developed, greatly improving social and economic benefits.
