How should printing enterprises use small and medium-sized format equipment to create value-added services

in recent years, sheet fed large format printing has become the focus of attention. This product, which represents the latest technology in the field of sheet fed offset printing, has been leading the development of printing towards a higher, faster and larger direction. Saving paper, high efficiency and more value-added printing have become the biggest selling points of large format sheet fed offset printing machines. However, from chinaprint, the largest printing exhibition this year, we are innovative Daron reg; Resin has good adaptability to carbon fiber and glass fiber. It is still found that major sheet fed offset printing equipment manufacturers are still promoting small and medium format printing in China. Since large format printing has many advantages, what are the highlights of small and medium format equipment? How should printing enterprises use small and medium-sized format equipment to create value-added services

production efficiency and product value have nothing to do with the size of the printing machine

small size does not mean that the technology is backward. While equipment manufacturers pursue large size, they have also carried out a series of technical transformation for small and medium-sized format printing equipment. Even many famous equipment manufacturers have also launched their own unique small format printing machines, such as gaobaoli Bida 75, Manroland 50, etc, At the same time, Heidelberg SM74 also began quantitative assembly in Qingpu factory. These equipments have many of the most advanced printing machine manufacturing technologies in the world. For example, after adopting the new double diameter embossing cylinder, double diameter paper conveyor and traceless paper feeding mode, Roland 50 can easily convert between printing materials with a thickness of 0.04mm to 0.8mm, that is, within a few minutes after printing the paperboard, Feida and the paper receiving device can quickly convert to the sheet fed printing mode, printing high-quality commercial prints and automatically collect the corresponding experimental force. At the same time, the on-line processing module has also been introduced into the field of small format printing, so that in addition to the printing format, there is no gap between the small and medium format printing machine and the large format printing machine in terms of the degree of automation and the types of printable substrates

fine printing is also irrelevant to the format

small format does not mean poor printing quality. Although there are tens of millions of printing enterprises in China, few of them have a certain scale, and only 10% can achieve high-quality printing. From a second-hand equipment, to a new machine, to a good machine; Almost 80% of China's small and medium-sized printing enterprises continue this development model. For many small and medium-sized enterprises that want to replace new equipment but do not have so much capital, a small and medium-sized equipment with flexible configuration and high automation is undoubtedly a better choice. Advanced automation, efficient production efficiency, stable quality, flexible on-line processing and a large range of printing products can bring a richer product structure and high-quality boutique printing to small and medium-sized enterprises that have just started. For example, Heidelberg sm52, users can selectively upgrade the system according to their own needs. In addition, the latest Heidelberg anico has positioned its role in the industrial chain. Lor inking system and inkless area printing unit can also be used on this small printing equipment. With many advanced controls, its printed products are not different from those printed by other Heidelberg large format equipment after a series of post press decoration, except for the format on the paper receiving table

short version fast printing more reflects the advantages of small and medium-sized format

at present, the demand for short version fast printing is increasing, but the cost of digital printing is still high. Today, with the continuous compression of printing costs, many printing customers will still choose traditional offset printing. Suppose a customer needs to print 1000 single-sided conference propaganda color pages with a size of about 16K, 500 sheets of paper for 8K equipment, 250 sheets for 4K equipment, and only 125 sheets for folio equipment. However, the scrap rate of a printing machine will not be affected by the size, and they are roughly similar. Assuming that there are 25 pieces of waste products for equipment adjustment, 50 copies will be wasted for 8K, 100 copies will be wasted for 4K, and 200 copies will be wasted for folio, accounting for 1/5 of the final copies. In this case, the larger the size of the printing press, the higher the proportion of waste products, which means that its production cost is higher. Therefore, large size does not occupy an advantage in any case. For this kind of short edition fast printing, the customer requires time is relatively tight, and when there is no suitable printing activity for combined edition printing, the small and medium format will seize a certain opportunity because of its low proportion of waste production

it is most important to invest rationally and choose the right one.

due to the significant improvement of the structural design and automation of small and medium-sized format printing machines, coupled with its unparalleled advantages in short version fast printing, it is a very good supplementary choice for some printing enterprises that are just starting, as well as those business printing enterprises and some digital enterprises that want to develop digital fast printing. However, although small format printing equipment is relatively low in equipment cost and maintenance cost, an advanced equipment often needs millions. Therefore, before purchasing equipment, enterprises must fully investigate their own production capacity, especially for some commercial printing enterprises that want to develop the electromagnetic reversing valve in the digital fast printing industry. Equipment is only a tool for enterprise transformation. Only when the current equipment production capacity cannot be met, purchasing a small format equipment can become a better solution
