Digital Printing Finishing ProcessDigital Printing Finishing Process
A few years ago, digital printing is still a new thing, there is a great distance away from commercial production, digital book printing quality and there does exist a wide gap between demand and production efficiency is very low, it is difficult to meet people's needs.
However, in recent years, changes and development of digital printing speed well beyond people's imagination. Today, digital printing production efficiency has been greatly enhanced the scope of printing materials, more and more widely, a number of quality and effectiveness of printed matter have been breathtaking. Digital printing has indeed become the most attractive kind of printing.
However, binding and finishing point of view, digital print finishing there are still some problems can not be ignored. This paper attempts to explore the digital brochure printing finishing, with a view to provide readers with some reference.
Binding and finishing points:
1. Folding
Because pigment ink digital print on paper is only attached to the surface, so folding process prone to fracture. Therefore, before the folding process is best to press creases.
2. Laminating
Coating the surface of the digital printing process, especially after printing a large area on the ground for laminating processing will help in the finishing, especially when cutting or packaging printed materials play a very good protective effect of . Double-sided coating on the printed matter may not be advantageous since it is not coated side of the follow-up processing may be due to the friction of the role of pigment printing is more prone to peeling off phenomenon.
3. Saddle stitching
Riding set for most digital print run, is a good choice, especially suitable for guides, pamphlets and brochures such as thin books of the binding. The binding mode of economic and practical, and be able to carry out on-line with other processing methods can simultaneously collating, folding, binding and cutting of the finishing line may be required for digital catalog printing fast delivery guarantee.
4. Ping set
Stapler in the design of flat volumes, the first to note in setting the body between the mouth and leave enough room for the binding, for example, O-line holes spiral wire-bound ratio of 3:1 (meaning there are three holes per inch) should be set aside at least 3 / 8 inch gaps; and when the line of holes when the ratio of 2:1 should be set aside at least 1 / 2 inch gap. This gap is set with the recent line of mouth-hole edge distance.
In order to clarify the specific location of level set processing, the best designers in the digital printing process prior to finishing to understand the actual printing of digital printing paper, after making the change, which is particularly important for digital print. Most of the computer design process does not take into account the thickness of the paper after printing a small change, while digital printing, the printing surface of the pigment in the paper will cause copies of the thickness of the changes, when dozens of pages of copies of digital printing to binding, the cumulative thickness of the change may make the computer carefully calculated binding size is meaningless. Therefore, to grasp the actual production of paper in digital printing proofs after the change in parameters,
Can be measured accurately in the printing of books, when the thickness of the design to ensure that the binding of finishing to get the right size.
5. Wireless Adhesive set
And the offset of wireless Adhesive provides the same processing, digital printing provides a wireless plastic viscosity should also consider cutting the amount of bound. In addition to the book back Go out 1 / 8 inch milling back cushion, the other three sides are also in the book Go out 1 / 8 inch cutting capacity. In addition, the book covers the lower part of it should remain a 1 / 4 inch adhesive area in order to prevent the glue in the binding to the next book on the infiltration. Wireless Adhesive hemorrhage set printing process also requires the cover should be bigger than the text size.
6. Wireless set hardcover Adhesive
Whether you believe it or not, the wireless Adhesive hardcover set of digital printing and binding process is also a way of finishing an important way.
