In 1980, there were more than 10,000 printing factories in various countries. In 2007, there were more than 180,000 printing and typing companies across the country. From 1978 to 2008, the number of books in China increased from 12,886 to more than 248,000.
From "lead and fire", "light and electricity", to digital "0 and 1", the revolutionary change in China's printing industry stems from a technology - Academician Wang Xuan
Leading scientific research collectively invented and perfected the Chinese character laser photo-distribution technology, which enabled China to step into the most advanced ranks from the backward typesetting.
□70s: Casting uses 200,000 tons of lead alloy
In the 1970s, China still used the printing of lead characters for nearly a hundred years. The lead alloy used in the light casting was 200,000 tons and the copper mold was 2 million. At that time, it was worth 6 billion yuan, which not only consumes a lot of energy, but also has high labor intensity. Low efficiency and serious environmental pollution.
The 55-year-old master Wang has worked in the printing factory for more than 30 years. He recalls: Every morning, the caster began to melt the lead, tin and other materials, usually requiring about 40,000 words a day. During the day, the editor marked the font size of the manuscript. Afterwards, they will send them to the typesetting workshop. At night, the picking workers will pick up the code from the prepared letters in the morning according to the compiled manuscript, and submit them to the impositionist for imposition.
The backward typesetting and printing technology severely restricted the development of China's news publishing industry. At that time, the publication period of almost one book exceeded 500 days.
□80s: Laser phototype promotion application
In 1974, the state set up the "Chinese Character Information Processing Project", the "748 Project" to change the appearance of the printing industry. In 1975, Wang Xuan devoted himself to the "748 Project."
Wang Xuan has developed high-rate Chinese character information compression technology, high-speed reduction technology and undistorted text zoom technology, which is the core of Chinese laser photo-alignment technology. This breakthrough opens the door to computer processing of Chinese character information.
In 1979, Huaguang I was born as the first prototype of the precision Chinese character photo system. Since 1987, Huaguang laser typesetting system has been on the market and has been rapidly applied. By 1993, the famous European, American and Japanese manufacturers who came to China to develop and sell photo-alignment systems all withdrew from the Chinese market. 99% of domestic newspapers and more than 90% of black-and-white books and magazines adopted the domestic laser phototypesetting system with Wang Xuan technology as the core.
□90s: Independent innovation goes overseas
From remote copying technology, color desktop publishing system to news editing process management system and direct plate making system, Wang Xuan constantly let Founder create new technological achievements and start to expand overseas after fully occupying the Chinese market. Since the 1990s, Chinese newspapers in Southeast Asia and North America have adopted Wang Xuan’s Chinese electronic publishing system.
On this basis, Wang Xuan, who led the planning and research and development of the Founder New Japanese Publishing System, entered the Japanese market in 1997. This is the first time that Chinese companies have exported and sold high-tech applications with independent intellectual property rights and product brands. At present, more than 300 newspapers in Japan use the system. Since 1999, Founder Western Publishing System and Raster Image Processor have also entered the European and American markets.
