Printing machinery is the trend of digitalization is the trend

The 6th Beijing International Printing Technology Exhibition, which has been held for four years, is one of the six largest printing exhibitions in the world recognized by China and the printing industry. At the 6th Beijing International Printing Technology Exhibition (ChinaPrint2005), which was recently closed, the world's top printing machinery manufacturers gathered together, and they all came up with exhibitors representing their own level. Therefore, what really impressed the reporters in this exhibition is not the colorful and lively scenes, but the Chinese and foreign companies and joint ventures pay more attention to the display of advanced technology and brand.


Industry experts commented that in the past, the printing exhibition held in China was to let China see the world, and today's exhibition is to let the world see China. Therefore, it is enough to see the future development trend of the world printing machinery industry from this exhibition.


Domestic enterprises have made rapid progress


From the current exhibition, China's printing machinery manufacturing technology has made rapid progress in recent years. From the original production of only monochrome offset printing machines to the production of two-color, multi-color offset printing press; the variety is also more and more complete, whether it is offset press, gravure press, flexo press or screen printing machine, domestic production can now, Moreover, the printing format is also getting larger and larger, and the printing speed is continuously increasing.


Internationally, offset printing machines produced in Heidelberg, Germany and Japan are the fastest printing speeds, reaching 15,200 sheets per hour. The printing speed of domestic offset printing machines four or five years ago is 10,000 sheets per hour, and now it has reached 15,000 sheets per hour. Some large-scale printing companies such as Beiren, Shanghai Guanghua Qiushan, Henan Jiaozuo, and Zhongjing Group can produce this type of offset press. This shows that the gap between China's printing technology and foreign advanced technology is narrowing.


At the Beiren booth, the reporter saw that in addition to the N200 and N300 offset presses exhibited at the Drupa exhibition in Germany last year, a new product jointly developed by Beiren and Japan’s West Research Co., Ltd. was exhibited. The printing machine (75,000 pieces per hour), the main part is completely made by the technology of Beiren with independent intellectual property rights, and the folding machine adopts Japanese Western research technology. Internationally, the German Roland printing press has the fastest printing speed of 75,000 sheets per hour. From this point of view, the speed of the northern non-roller printing machine has reached the international advanced level. In the Beiren flexo printing machine exhibition area, Beiren also exhibited a new flexographic printing machine - BFF6400. The machine can not only print a variety of colors at the same time, but also prints very fast, reaching 200 meters per minute.


At present, the printing machinery brands representing international advanced technology are mainly concentrated in Germany and Japan. Therefore, Germany's Heidelberg, Roland, KBA and Japan's Xiaoshen, Mitsubishi and Akiyama jointly form the six international printing machine brands. Last year, Shanghai Guanghua, a subsidiary of Shanghai Printing and Packaging Group, acquired Akiyama, Japan, one of the six major brands of international printing machines, and established Shanghai Huaguang Akiyama Co., Ltd., which pioneered the cross-border acquisition of Chinese printing companies. After Shanghai Huaguang acquired Akiyama, all the advanced technologies of Akiyama were owned by Huaguang, making Shanghai Huaguang one of the top six printer brands in the world.


In the reporter of Guanghua Exhibition Area of ​​Shanghai Printing Group, Guanghua exhibited the BT series offset printing machine which was completely produced in China after the acquisition of Akiyama. It is understood that the series of offset presses will produce 20 units this year and 60 units next year.


Before the booth of the Zhongjing Group, which was originally dominated by monochrome machines, the reporter found that although the group did not show any new products, the proportion of the four-color machines exhibited increased. This is enough to show that the technical level of the four-color machine of Zhongjing Group has been raised to a certain extent. In addition, Shandong Weifang Huaguang, Yingkou Guanhua, Weihai, Jiangsu Rugao and other enterprises that could only produce single and double-color offset presses can now produce full-sheet and off-color four-color offset presses.


Judging from the technological progress of these enterprises, some experts believe that the technical level of China's printing machinery industry has now developed to the level of the international 1990s. The remarkable sign of the progress of China's printing machinery is that the control part and automation level of printing machinery have been significantly improved.


Despite this, due to the large number of small and medium-sized printing plants with low-level repetitive construction in China, there are not many large-scale and high-precision printing enterprises in other cities except Guangdong Province. Therefore, as people's demand for high-end printed materials increases, it will stimulate printing. The industry is moving towards high-end areas. With the emergence of large-scale printing plants, Chinese printing companies will further differentiate and the industry pattern will change.


Foreign business leadership trends


In the international exhibition area, Heidelberg, KBA, Roland and Mitsubishi of Japan respectively brought the most advanced products of the company to China for display. According to industry analysts, Heidelberg, KBA and Roland each have their own advantages. Heidelberg's market sales network is doing well, but the technology is not the most advanced; KBA's technology has been at the leading level in the world, but the marketing network does not have Heidelberg to get the position; and Roland is a more traditional enterprise, whether it is the market Or technology has always been steady development.


Judging from the products on display, the new Speedmaster CP102 exhibited at Heidelberg has led the world's printing technology to a new level, bringing the most advanced printing machine control technology to printing companies. All operating systems of the machine are completed through a touch screen. The printing speed is 15,200 sheets per hour.


Roland is presenting a series of printing machines and personalized printing machines that represent the world's advanced technology. The Roland 900 is the latest product exhibited at this exhibition. The machine has high quality and high efficiency when it is used to print four, five, six, seven and eight full-size large-format prints. It is understood that Roland is currently the largest manufacturer of the world's web offset presses and the largest manufacturer of printing presses. One out of every three newspapers in the world is printed by Roland's web press, Roland Vol. The leadership of the web press is unquestionable.


KBA also took out the latest product, the Genius 52uv offset press, which relies on UV inks to adjust the overprinting process to ensure the accuracy of the overprinting technology. The tandem double-sided printing press exhibited by Mitsubishi of Japan has made breakthroughs in the technological innovation of printing presses.


Digital printing is the development direction


Zhang Zhiyuan, vice chairman of the China Printing Technology Association and honorary chairman of the China Printing Machinery Association, believes that from the products exhibited by printing machinery manufacturers representing the international advanced technology level, the technical level of international printing machinery is now Come to the end. The next development trend: First, it will develop towards the function of increasing the printing machine. For example, a gravure printing machine, a screen printing machine or other mechanical equipment is connected in series behind the offset printing machine. The second is to save the auxiliary time and improve the degree of automation. The third is to strengthen network management. The development trend of domestic printing machinery is: firstly improve the stability and reliability of domestically produced machines, and then develop towards multi-color and high efficiency. According to Zhang Zhiyuan's analysis, if the printing speed is excessively pursued, the stability and reliability are poor, and the printing speed will also be affected.


In order to further improve the technical level of China's printing machinery industry, at present, most of the domestic printing machine enterprises are to enhance the competitiveness of the company by finding partners or adopting joint ventures and cooperation. As far as the introduction of technology is concerned, the domestic printing machine enterprises are not introduced in the same way as before, but they adopt the decomposed introduction, what technology is needed to introduce any technology, and avoid repeated introduction. For example, the North's non-roller printing machine host technology has been fully mastered, only the folding machine can not match the host, so the introduction of Japan's West Research's folding machine technology.


Zhang Zhiyuan finally pointed out that qualified and powerful enterprises can try to take Shanghai Guanghua's acquisition of Japan's Qiushan, and improve the competitiveness of enterprises by acquiring small and medium-sized enterprises with good foreign technology. In addition, you can also take the road of talent introduction.


At present, there are no shortage of real senior technicians in the printing machine industry. Some of the blue-collar workers who have a certain theoretical level and strong hands-on ability are lacking.

It is worth highlighting that there are many digital printing technologies on display at this exhibition. From this point of view, digital printing is the direction of future development, and it is hoped that domestic capable enterprises can enter the field as soon as possible.
