The process flow of the printing plant

From having an idea for a print to the successful production of this print, there are many steps: pre-press document preparation, color comparison, printing quotation, etc., and there are about dozens of processes. As practitioners in the printing industry, we must understand the process of the printing plant in all aspects, and be familiar with each production process and operation method. Biyin Bazaar will list the process of the printing factory to you, and divide each step of the process in detail, I hope it will help you. Process. Photography→ design and production, film → proofing→ PS board --- paint --- on the machine, printing --- polishing (plastic) --- mounting, --- binding or sticking box--- inspection and shipment Special process. Convex (drumming), gold printing, full UV, partial UV, hot stamping, frosting, die-cutting (knife version), water heat transfer, refraction, drop molding, ice flower, scratch silver. Printing time. The production cycle of the printing plant is generally 3-8 working days, usually within 4 working days. In the case of a large number of post-press processing, such as lamination, binding, pasting, die-cutting, hot stamping, etc., it will generally take more than 4 working days. Prepress file preparation 1, confirm that there are all the necessary documents in the document, confirm that the picture file must have been included in the document, sometimes the image can be displayed, but in fact the image is missing or the resolution is low, so please confirm the required image and provide enough accuracy of the image file in the document. (The resolution of the picture is not less than 300 pixels/inch) 2. Don't forget to copy the necessary fonts. 3. Convert the linked picture from RGB to CMYK, otherwise the film will be confused in color after the film. 4. When Pantone spot color is converted to CMYK, please confirm whether the same effect will be achieved. After Pantone spot color is converted to CMYK, there will generally be a certain difference between the two, and some Pantone spot colors can achieve the same effect according to the output experience, but those Process, Pantone, and Color must not be achieved by CMYK, so it can only be solved by adding spot colors. 5. Double scanning of pictures, single output, can improve the scanning quality of pictures. 6. Is there a 3mm bleeding set? Whether the color is set according to the color scale value 7, and the printing proofing corresponding to the film is the most worry-free reference for the printing house. If there is no proofing for various reasons, please provide at least a print of righteous indignation (color is preferred, there is really none, black and white is fine), and the printer must check the film with one of the above. 1. If the monitor fails to be color-matched correctly, the computer display effect will be quite different from that of the computer monitor that has been correctly colored. Therefore, it is also necessary to ask professional and technical personnel to adjust the display effect in time. 2. The difference in printing materials will also make the printing effect different. Generally speaking, coated paper has a much brighter printing effect than offset paper. 3. The proofing corresponding to the film is closest to the printed product. The printed product displayed on the computer screen is much brighter than the actual printed product, and cannot be used as the same reference, so the printing proofing shall prevail. Printing quotation Pre-printing. The process of completing film and proofing is calculated per P, generally an A4 (if less than A4 or greater than A4 is A3, so be sure to measure the accurate size in order to use the price) as the usual pricing standard. Film is a necessity on the machine, and printing proofing is the most basic document for the machine to check the color. Mid-printing. It is the key link in the completion of the printed product, and the pricing standard is the color order. If there is a spot color, such as the spot color of the corporate LOGO or printed gold, silver, etc. Please be sure to indicate that it will increase from 4 colors to 5 colors and 6 colors. Late printing. It is usually the product work after the print is printed. Be sure to indicate: saddle nails or glue nails, folds (several folds); Whether the post-press process is coated or UV, die-cutting, hot stamping and convex area should also be written clearly, packaging, packaging quantity, if there are special requirements, please indicate.
