Each sheet is a daunting challenge.
From hot stamping, night light, frosting, partial UV, to glittering effect, the procedure was slightly wrong. It was enough to leave Zhang full and there was no room for return.
What's more shocking is that this production only pays and there is no profit in return.
Who will have the thought of taking a risk?
When I took over the job, both the designer and I knew it was moneyless. However, we will not make any printed copies because we cannot make any money. Doing it is worse than doing nothing. Jimmy Chan, a director of Stellar Stamping Co., Ltd., a star screen printing (glue) company, sponsored the production of the anniversary special stamps.
Conscientiously adding more courage, collecting five kinds of special printing effects, the form of outstanding prints, and finally in the eyes of everyone looking forward to, powder, ink debut.
Special printing effect Large deconstructed luminous This part is completed by screen printing. After absorbing light, the average divergence can reach 2-5 minutes. The market also has luminous inks with a brightness of 1-2 hours, but the price is several times more than the former. In general, there are two types of luminous ink, one is luminous oil, and the other is the luminous powder that the user needs to modulate with varnish. Although the luminous powder price is cheaper, but due to the use of self-distribution, component control has certain difficulties, too thin, afraid of luminosity is not enough, too strong, it will increase the cost, but not easy to use and luminous oil.
The luminous ink used by stars is imported from Taiwan. Basically, all imported luminous inks are of roughly the same quality. However, the technology for the preparation of such inks in the Mainland has not yet reached the level of quality. The quality of these inks varies. Users must be very cautious in this respect. Mr. Chen said that in the past when he purchased luminous ink produced in China, he had encountered packaging that indicated that he could release 4-5 minutes of light. However, when he actually used it, he did not achieve the expected results. To ensure the quality of the printed product, he went Later it turned to Taiwan suppliers to purchase.
Glitters are very popular at present and are mostly used on the surface of greeting cards. There are two kinds of production methods. One is to apply a layer of varnish to the surface of the printed product, and sprinkle the powder on it with a hand or a fully automatic machine. The advantage is that the degree of flash is high and the texture is strong. However, once touched, the glitter will adhere in real time. On the hand. The other way is to paste the glittered optical oil film on the surface of the printed product. The advantage is that the glitter will adhere firmly to it and there will be no loss. Therefore, many book covers will be printed in this way.
Local UV
It has become popular in recent years. Currently, there are three methods for producing local UVs on the market:
a) It is made with a Offset press equipped with UV equipment. If the printing plant itself has installed UV equipment, they can use offset printers to print local UV prints in real time. However, offset printing is not able to print thick UV inks and does not show the texture of UV. In addition, the installation of UV equipment in ordinary offset machines will also slow down the production of four-color printing presses. The printing speed of 10,000 sheets per hour could be reduced to 5,000 sheets per hour. So now few people use this method to make local UV.
b) Production by resin plate method. This method has a low cost, but due to the elasticity of the resin plate, the registration will encounter certain difficulties.
C) Silk screen printing. Relative to the former two, this method shows a strong texture, easy to register, quick-drying, thickness can also be used to adjust the technology. For example, Mr. Chen: There are a lot of foreign novels whose cover is also partially covered with a thick layer of UV. They are done with silkscreen. But on the cost, silk screen printing is slightly higher than offset printing and resin printing.
Local UV printing, ink thickness control is the key. If it is printed too thick, there will be commonly known as fat oil phenomenon, UV oil is easy to spill around, the printed lines will not be clear enough; printed too thin, the effect will be less obvious, so the process must be controlled by technology . In addition, it should also be noted that different printing materials must be combined with different types of UV inks. For example, printing on a book paper, the ink will penetrate quickly, so it is necessary to select a moderate concentration of ink. When printing on adhesive or matte surfaces, separate inks must also be used. So for UV ink alone, we now have at least three or four.
Many printers also encounter UV inks that fail to dry out. Mr. Chen explained that this is a normal phenomenon. After the paper is irradiated with UV light, the temperature is still very high and may not be 100% dry in real time. If the printing factory does not care about it, it will be difficult to understand the fact that the unfinished printed sheets will overlap and they will stick together. This situation is particularly likely to occur on parts with large local UV areas. He suggested that after finishing printing the UV lamps, they should be stored in a straight line until they dry, and then they should be stacked together.
Hot laser gold + screen printing overprintable matte oil is a bit too boring for monotony, light matte can not highlight the contrast effect, so Mr. Chen will use this very popular foreign new technology. We first burned the laser gold on the surface, and then printed a layer of scrubbing oil on the hot stamping surface. He said that although this kind of technology is costly, if it is grasped, the printed effect can be very beautiful.
In addition to screen printing, overprintable effects can also be done with offset printing. However, due to the stickiness of the Koch machine's tape, it is easy to stick the hot stamping surface, and since the hot stamping surface does not absorb ink, the frosted oil printed on it will be more difficult to dry. With the advancement of printing technology, these two problems can already be solved by adopting more stable bronzing materials and using UV lamps to dry the ink.
The effect of the hot laser silver + offset black screen is similar to that of the screenprint overprintable matte oil, which is based on the offset printing method. Although Offset Printing has the disadvantages of being hard-working and sticking off hot stampings, the effect shown is even more special. In order to make this knife more metallic, we first scald a layer of laser silver and then printed a black net. In the light, its texture becomes more pronounced.
The production process can be followed by five special printing effects: luminous, glittering, sanding, bronzing, and local UV. Each has its own characteristics and is unrelated to each other. However, in the same picture performance, it will pull each other and the relationship will be complicated. Take it lightly. Mr. Chen pointed out that the printing of this special printed sheet must follow the following steps and should not be reversed.
First hot gold hot silver, and then print four colors. (Note: The location of bronzing and silver must be accurate, otherwise the four-color film has already been out, and it will be difficult to remedy the situation.)
Luminous. (Because you must register the mark on the utility knife, if you leave it to the end to complete the process, the previous step will cause the pattern to shift and you will not be able to register.)
Frosted. (Same is to solve the problem of registration.)
Local UV. (The process involved in the UV oven will generate heat and it will easily deform the paper, so it will be completed later.)
Glitter. (The registration requirements are low, slight deviations are not easily noticeable, and have little effect on the overall composition.)
The competition strives for perfection to mention the difficulties encountered in the production of the printed sheets. Mr. Chen said that due to the rush of time, from the design to the completion of only two weeks, the time required by the original is less than half full, so there are many steps. There was no chance to try first. He only had to make modifications while he was trying to get the most satisfactory results in a limited time. The original concept of the printed sheet had two sides, one printed on one side and the other on the other side. However, due to the pressure of bronzing, after the completion of the process, the other side of the paper jam showed signs of indentation. At that time, I did not know whether to continue. After thinking about it, I decided to print only one side and put the description and the pattern together. So at 11 o'clock in the evening, he contacted the designer at the Dongguan factory and then returned to Hong Kong that night. By 8 o'clock the next morning, the new film was ready. Everyone was very satisfied with the revised results. (Design company) Bis creation is very helpful throughout the entire process. When I took over the job, both the designer and I knew it was moneyless. However, we will not make any printed copies because we cannot make any money. Doing it is worse than doing nothing. Mr. Chen said seriously.
After operating in Hong Kong for a period of time, Star started setting up a factory in Dongguan last year. The silk screen department was also established since last year, but the route taken is known for its bold innovation. In order to enhance the company's competitiveness, Mr. Chen often visits foreign exhibitions and sees new and unique printing effects. He will then propose to the technical consultant of the silk screen department a feasible method for printing this effect. General printing effect Many companies can also do it. If you do not want to break through, it will be difficult to compete with others in the industry.
