Mao Fengxiong, Zheng Xiongxiong:

At the time of the Lunar New Year, there is good news and bad news in the first month of Hong Kong. First report to the two people the good news of a Hong Kong citizen: The Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, Mr Henry Tang, just announced the Budget this year, in view of the previous financial The annual government revenue and expenditure has a large surplus. As a result, a number of tax reduction and tax rebate measures have been announced. Hong Kong people, especially the middle class, have benefited a lot. The public is still generally satisfied with the newly announced tax concessions. The bad news is that at about the same time, the domestic stock market plunged, causing Hong Kong stocks and the world's major stock markets to fall. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index fell more than a thousand points in a week, and Hong Kong people only got about two in a year. More than 10 billion tax cuts and tax rebates, but the stock market can evaporate hundreds of billions of wealth in a week, which is not worth the loss for stock investors. From this we can see that stock finance does not necessarily bring wealth, and it may also cause investors to suffer huge losses in an instant. Some investors who have profited from the stock market may lose money if they do not know how to advance and retreat. It is reliable to manage your own business with all your heart.


Hong Kong's printing industry has a long history and solid foundation. Over the years, it has established a good international customer base and reputation. From the simplest document printing to the most complex and multi-process printing, it can handle it properly and make customers feel Satisfied, in the past few decades, through the excellent technical labor, the courage to test the reform and innovation of the management class, many ideas that were originally only customers, successfully implemented as beautiful printed products, whether it is pre-press, printing and post-press processing, Hong Kong manufacturers have successfully mastered the evolution of technology and introduced the latest materials and equipment at the fastest speed. Not only that, but in the past 20 years, technology has been transferred to China, which has greatly improved the level of domestic printing and finishing.


The younger brother visited the Tokyo Japan Printing Company for the first time more than 20 years ago. He watched some of the finished products exhibitions at the lobby reception. Some products could not be seen by any way, and the receptionist could not see clearly. Explain the printing method. A friend in Tokyo, Japan, told the author that some of the exhibits were actually an idea put forward by the client, and asked Japan to design it and then study whether it has market value before it was officially put into production. In order to provide such a service, it is necessary to have a strong design and product development department, and some products must be separately designed or modified processing equipment and production lines. Only large companies such as Dainippon and Toppan can provide this. A tailor-made service for customers.


In the past 20 years, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Mainland have successively developed services related to product design. In addition to general printing, product processing has increased its added value, such as adding electronic and sound and light accessories to paper products. Packing plastics, metals, fabrics and wooden components has indeed succeeded in attracting many orders, making the printing industry more prosperous. The development of such products depends on the creativity and knowledge of the product designer to apply various production materials and special components.


It is well known that printing is a comprehensive science. The use of new technologies and the development of new application materials are the strengths of the printing industry. Most operators generally focus on prepress and printing. Although it is understandable, postpress processing has the most changes. The plasticity is higher, the capital investment is not as high as that of prepress and printing equipment, and it is worth encouraging to promote this development. The problem is that design and production support is still not enough. In addition to some processing equipment sold by different manufacturers already on the market, how to effectively design and assemble production lines according to product design and develop new models to meet the needs, is still a lot of printing enterprises and processing. The problems faced by producers. The ability to do this in Japan is very strong. Large printing houses have a large technical research department. They can study various problems submitted by the production department or request improvement targets. They can have the ability to completely assemble production lines and even develop new materials and new machines. Coordinate with production needs and increase productivity. If you visit IGAS in Japan, I wonder if you have noticed that there are many small booths in the venue. The mechanical and electrical engineering departments of many universities in Japan are promoting the research and development results of the university. I hope that the equipment manufacturers will choose their research results. This kind of conversion of academic research into commercial use, Hong Kong has similar examples, but research related to printing and post-press processing is rare.


Hong Kong is obviously very backward in this respect. In particular, the production machinery and technology research and development, Hong Kong manufacturers are lack of support. Many years ago, there were still three machine factories producing post-press processing facilities in Hong Kong. Now they have all completed or transformed into imported machines. And material agent. Ten years ago, the younger brother suggested that the Graphic Arts Association of Printing and Printing should apply to the Government's Industrial Support Fund (now renamed the Innovation and Technology Fund) to set up a "Printing Production Technology Centre" to recruit qualified technicians and engineers. Design and improve the original production line and process for the manufacturer. It is also possible to convert the old machines that have been eliminated by each factory, such as lithographic offset printing machines and typographic printing machines, into post-press processing machines, such as conversion to pinhole machines, hot-aluminizing aluminum machines, and partial UV. The glazing machine can also be converted into mail printing or other processing purposes, but unfortunately the application for the year was rejected by the government. At present, most of the machines that manufacturers have eliminated are sold at a price, or even sold as scrap iron. In fact, some parts of the old machine are still very useful. A slight modification can be used for certain specific production purposes, waste utilization. It is in line with the world's environmental protection trend and is worth reviewing.


Taiwan and the mainland have better conditions than Hong Kong. Over the years, the pre-press, printing and processing equipment manufacturing on both sides of the strait has made great achievements. Taiwan-made stenciling machines, glazing machines, squeegees, die-cutting machines, hot Electro-aluminum machine, folder-gluer machine, etc. have always been known for their low price. Since the reform and opening up, the printing related machinery and equipment in the Mainland has also undergone modernization reforms very quickly, and many internationally renowned equipment manufacturers have been introduced. For these newly developed domestic equipments, the two have more understanding than the younger brothers. Or leave it to two detailed introductions. Nowadays, print buyers all over the world face the changing market environment and the competition of multimedia. The requirements for the design and production of printed materials are getting higher and higher. Especially for post-press processing, there is a need to develop more updated materials and technologies. In line with this requirement, the three governments should devote more resources to encourage and support the academic community to strengthen research and increase the sales of printed products and their added value in line with commercial development. Should the large surplus held by the Hong Kong government give some practical support to this development?
