What is printing digital?
Digital printing (Digital The simple definition of Printing is to use the file to complete the printing method, whether the digital file is obtained from the CD, disk, network or other media, can complete the printing and copying. To further explain the digital printing, the printing operation system uses RIP to convert any file format and process it to generate a bit image file for output. This can include short version of the non-printing fast printing, such as laser printing, electromagnetic printing, and spraying. Ink printing, direct printing on a printing press (DI), etc.
What kinds of digital printing are there?
Mainly can be divided into: (1) The computer directly prints images on paper, such as: inkjet, dusting, heat transfer. (2) The computer goes directly to the image carrier (print plate, roller), such as: electrophotography, electromagnetic, direct on-board plate. According to the printing mode, it can be summarized as: inkjet, heat transfer, static electricity (electromagnetic), digital lithography and so on. Inkjet printing systems mainly use water-based or oil-based inks to control the amount of ink and diffusion in the nozzles through a computer to achieve image reproduction. The powder-spraying system mainly uses a direct printing of toner directly onto a recording medium such as paper. High-quality, low-cost, fast, and stable printing is possible. The thermal transfer printing system mainly has two types of hot wax type and sublimation type. The printing method is to use a computer to control the thermal print head to transfer the image or text to the substrate through the wax ribbon or the sublimation printing material. The electrostatic (electromagnetic) printing system mainly uses a charged powder or electrolytic ink to be adsorbed on a substrate such as paper or plastic material, and then heated to melt the ink and adhere to the substrate to form an image. On a digital lithographic printing press, a printing method in which a digital data output by a computer is directly printed on a printing machine and then lithographically printed.
What is paper digitization?
The use of digital technology to create a display medium like plain paper is quite a good idea. Japan has developed a similar paper for information display, which can use electricity to erase and rewrite media multiple times with heat. But this rewritable media is not intended to be used for most prints, but it does make paper competitive in some applications. This kind of paper can only be used for fuel card, stored value card, etc. If it is to be used for magazines, books and other readings, it will take some time for R&D to be realized. We are only waiting to see.
What is binding digitization?
Most of the binding refers to the computer to control the various adjustment operations of the binding equipment. Early binding and matching, plastic head, and staple thickness adjustment were all manually adjusted. Most of them are now switched to computers and servo motors. Just enter the length, width and thickness of the book, all the heads and glues. The head can be automatically adjusted at one time, which saves a lot of time, thus increasing the efficiency of the binding machine to change lines. Online binding refers to the installation of an automatic gutter after a laser or electromagnetic press. This operation is quite efficient, at least, it does not require much conversion. Therefore, on-line binding can reduce subsequent collation work or manual work to save labor costs. Another benefit of online processing is the security of individual businesses. The disadvantage is that it takes into account the number of printed pages, because most bookbinding machines are several times faster than presses, which means that bookbinding equipment is mostly in a waiting state and cannot be used for investment.
What is the digitization of books?
It may gradually replace books that print books, or e-books. The book is a type of book that can be downloaded from a network to a computer, a notebook computer, or a specific handheld device. It can be read through a dedicated reader, and the user can simultaneously carry many of the books in such a thin device to any place. Read electronic books. The biggest feature of e-books is that you can buy and read books online anytime, anywhere. The biggest beneficiaries are readers and publishers. The biggest victims are printers and paper mills, because they don't need printing, so these factories will gradually be affected. Another feature of e-books is that it breaks geographical restrictions. Before the publication of a book, it must be sent to the post office and sent to subscribers. It usually takes three to five days in the country and more than one week in the international market. If it is a news publication, it will not be effective. Then e-books can be immediately sent to all corners of the world.
What is the digitalization of bookstores?
When I entered the traditional bookstore, I only saw a wide range of books on the bookshelf. I didn’t know where to look for them. Generally, the bookstore would classify the books on the bookshelf. Some bookstores would put the bestsellers on the low shelf for entering the door. Pick. However, the bookstores in the future will not see the bookshelves, and there are no ready-made books for customers to choose. It is strange, how to buy books? What the reader sees is a computer on the table. It is not difficult to imagine how the e-book store in the future will use the device to connect to the Internet to complete the purchase of books. This new bookstore is completely utilizing high-speed digital services. Bookmakers can find their favorite books on the "search engine" just by sitting at the computer. If you want to buy the book, you only want to buy the book. Brush your own credit card on the keyboard, then enter the password, press the print button, you can get a new book just printed from the in-store printing and binding online machine at the moment of coffee or cola, convenient and easy . This kind of bookstore can sell a wide variety of books, including ancient out-of-print books, of course, the establishment of a database of books, before it is not yet complete, is not a simple matter.
