Printing technology experience

As a graphic design student, printing process practice is an essential part of the internship. This semester, under the guidance of our teacher, all the students of Grade 10 visual communication went to the internship factory near the school to inspect, and through listening to lectures and visiting modern printing enterprises, students initially established a perceptual understanding of the printing process. Through visiting the production process of some printing enterprises and related factories, students have a preliminary understanding and understanding of the process and equipment in this professional field.

Internship content:

We visited Guangdong Xinyuan Color Printing Co., LTD., where there are sound equipment, advanced printing machines, strong teachers and teachers team, practice teachers master the most advanced skills, although we do not belong to the printing industry professionals, but since the choice of printing practice should have some understanding of printing knowledge, On the understanding of the printing industry before the practice, our usual so-called printing is a series of printing processes carried out on the equipment of the machine, only a simple printing process includes three parts, the paper part, the printing part, the receiving part, each part is very complicated, to control and master the printing machine, can not make a mistake,

Lead to the entire printing ended in failure, in addition to these there are a lot of processing, typesetting, patch plate process, etc., the printing part of the entire printing process is the most critical part, five days of internship is very short.

The following points are the requirements of my work during my internship in the factory.

Some tips.

First we learned monochrome printing and two-color printing, monochrome printing is a printing process in which only one ink color is printed on the substrate. The so-called monochrome printing refers to a color printing, can also print two colors, but the effect is not good. There are many kinds of monochrome printing: monochrome rotary printing, monochrome lithography. The main printing scope is books and newspapers and magazines. Monochrome printing has a type called zinc oxide plate. Printing clarity is similar to photocopying clarity. This monochrome printing can be printed directly from the manuscript. Also known as paper printing. Paper printing is easy and fast, and lasts longer than photocopying.

Monochrome printing, in the process is relatively simple, and two-color printing is more difficult, first of all, its design color restrictions are quite many, as the name suggests, two-color printing can only appear two colors,

Effect - If neither of the two colors chosen is a proper color,

The matching relationship of colors: whether the color contrast is obvious, whether the finished product has visual impact, and whether the color collocation is aesthetic. Secondly, in terms of the area of color, two-color printing is affected by the use of paper.

Use a large area of dark color, otherwise the color will penetrate during the printing process,

Most of the paper most commonly used in factories is imported from abroad,

MDF can also be used for multiple products. It can be recommended for some customers who want to save costs. General factories have a certain amount of stock of these conventional papers in the warehouse.

Gauge paper (unless the customer orders a large number of products that warrant the factory to purchase some other expensive paper)

Technology, production cycles, growth costs, etc. all help.

Then we learned about some printing machines, there is Heidelberg

I didn't know much about it, and then I listened carefully to the teacher's teachings and explanations.

And also learned the relevant operation process. Then we also learned to ink and wash ink, although it made our hands colorful, but I still feel happy that I can learn knowledge.

It's all automatic machines, like CNC

Generally, it can produce higher efficiency. Although the factory can produce most paper products,

In the process of communication, while trying to meet customer requirements, we should also try to consider from the standpoint of the factory. For example, you can recommend something that looks the same but is simple to do,

Ben, and it's more efficient. When an order is completed, the factory will arrange every link in place. Therefore, when confirming the order with the customer, it is necessary to confirm each requirement completely. There is nothing worth learning to know that it has a complex process in its view, a millimeter of error may be a blink of an eye in the past, but left us with a deep understanding of the main knowledge and the resulting not only to consider printing after the completion of printing there is always a color degree is not enough, but also to consider two general can not use large areas of color blocks, especially taboo resulting in the back can not be printed. The selection of paper in printing is also one of the commonly used materials in the factory MDF paper. There are many other reserves, but generally it is recommended to use as often as possible, which is for the factory's processing GTO printing presses and Sakurai printing presses. At first, I initially recognized the relevant knowledge of such machines, and the machines used in many factories are more advanced, general, vertical shaft machines. Therefore, as long as the operation is proper and the personnel arrangement is reasonable, but in the future, with the customer, this can not only reduce the factory to some customers after the white body is done, the paint has a further understanding of the printing industry, and the choice of color is the first major problem in the design. In terms of processing, the structure of the CNC machine is clear.
