Large format inkjet technology and market

In that year, the rise and popularity of computer typesetting and laser photocopying set off and completed the first wave of screen printing digitalization. Today, the introduction and application of inkjet technology will set off the second wave of digital screen printing, one of the important directions. It is the use of inkjet printers, with the screen printing software system and high-performance inkjet film to achieve digital output using inkjet technology, instead of photographic film out of the process to improve the efficiency of screen printing process, Improve the technical and economic indicators of screen printing.

1. Large-format inkjet plate positioning

In the past, printing, printing, screen printing, and other industry-originated film productions generally went to the center of photocopying film. Now due to the advent of laser printing plate making solutions and desktop printer digital CTP ink jet plate making scheme, some users who come into contact with the program have rapidly This scheme has replaced a large part of the demand for film films, saved a lot of filming costs, and received practical benefits.

However, the use of laser printing plate making and desktop printer ink jet plate making is limited by the width of the printer itself, and the width of the printed sheet cannot generally exceed A3. For larger wide-format plates, are there any advantages in terms of cost and similar quality, so that they can replace the method of laser photographing film film?

At present, with the fierce competition in the inkjet printer market, various new models of wide-format inkjet printers are emerging in an endless stream, prices have gradually declined, and wide-format inkjet printers have gradually been owned by many professional users. Large-format inkjet platemaking, as an emerging wide-format platemaking solution, has gradually been accepted by more and more users due to its cost advantage (much lower than that of laser photo-discharge film) and its close quality. .

2. Workflow

Large-format inkjet platemaking uses wide-format inkjet printers as output tools, and special inkjet-processed plates are used as output media. With CTP color separation and hook-up software, wide-format films that can meet the platemaking requirements are output.

Need to have:

(1). Large-format inkjet printers with a certain degree of accuracy are recommended to be 1440 dpi or more, so that better dot output results can be obtained.

(2). Requirements for plate-making film (click to view related materials).

(3). Professional CTP color separation, hanging net, inkjet output software (recommended).

3. Application prospects

Large-format inkjet platemaking, as a solution that can replace large-format laser photofinishing films, has a huge potential market in the printing, publishing, and advertising industries. For many users who use wide-format inkjet printers for inkjet output, large-area inkjet platemaking is yet another profit growth point, and a gold mine that has not been excavated at a time when jet printing prices are gradually falling and margins are becoming increasingly thin.
