There are three major links of printing

There are three major links of printing: 1. pre-press 2. printing 3. post-press
1. Prepress: mainly for the graphic processing of the original manuscript 1. Design analysis to understand the customer's design intent, determine the printing plan (according to the classification of low-grade, mid-range, high-grade, small amount, large quantity, small and large, establish a cost-effective printing plan. 2. Copywriting (required to have documents) including images, graphics, text, etc. 3. Design creativity (multiple schemes, modifications, improvements, and synthesis) (required to be drafted) according to (main, secondary, branch) three levels, highlighting the theme. Text themes, color themes, typography themes.
2. Printing: 1. Production, using good tools and software to reflect the design intent in the digital document. The software has its own special functions, proficient in an image processing software, with the early positioning analysis, text, design creativity, the production stage is relatively just an assembly line work. 2. Output, advertising light box and sticker: photo inkjet photo machine: relatively small-format, water-based ink, peritoneum, paper materials, commonly found indoors, such as roll-up banners, posters and other inkjet printers: larger formats, oil-based ink, no peritoneum, cloth materials, commonly found outdoors, such as large billboards, door heads, light boxes, etc. Printing: film output precision phototypesetting: phototypesetting machine + film (manual operation in the darkroom, automatic phototypesetting machine in the bright room) high and light system: laser printer + sulfuric acid paper inkjet production: inkjet machine + inkjet platemaking film 3, the pattern on the transfer material is exposed to the PS plate, exposure + development, etc. 4. Printing four-color printing, overprinting, overprinting, bite, spot color, etc.
3. Post-press: The post-press processing technology is different according to the requirements of the product, mainly including: (1) hot stamping silver, concave and convex, mounting, glazing, UV, peritoneum, silk screen printing (2) die-cutting, indentation, finished paper cutting (3) manual: folding, binding, pasting, stringing, etc. (4) staple and packaging.
