Extended data

New printing technology

1, digital connection

The printing job is made into electronic files, and all files are transmitted by high-speed and long-distance communication. In some cases, it may be T- 1 or T-3 line, ISDN or any other communication mode; In other cases, files may be transmitted through the Internet or intranet.

The transmitted files include electronic worksheets and self-processed files used in different steps of digital workflow, which organically connects customers with printing services, which is unprecedented.

2, remote proofing

Proofing is the most important part of printing industry. It is very meaningful to make proofing before entering the workflow, and it is more meaningful to make proofing in the customer's own office. The problem is how to color manage the files sent back to customers.

Whether it is inkjet proofing, thermal sublimation proofing or other types of printing, files need to be professionally processed before being sent to customers, so that the files have certain color control. The debate about whether there is a way out will continue into the next century.
