What are the printing processes?

Mainly can be divided into the following two categories:
Traditional printing process, the most commonly used is offset printing.Offset printing is an ancient printing method suitable for mass production.Its main steps include design plate making, ink transfer and printing.The designer layouts and designs the book content and produces a printed version.The printing machine evenly coats the ink on the printing plate through the ink transfer system, and then brings the printing plate into contact with the paper, and transfers the ink to the paper through pressure to form a printing effect.
Digital printing, which is a newer printing technology, is suitable for small batch customized production.The main feature of digital printing is that it does not require plate making and prints directly from computer files.It has the advantages of speed, flexibility and high quality, and can be easily customized

Printing processing technology
There are mainly the following types:
Laminating process: It can enhance the moisture-proof, sun-proof, wear-resistant, anti-fouling, water-resistant, heat-resistant and other properties of the printed matter.Among them, the coating is divided into sub-film coating
There are two types: sub-film and gloss film. The sub-film is not as bright as the gloss film but is more classy. The surface of the printed matter after lamination shows a bright and transparent effect.
UV process: UV printing is a printing process that uses ultraviolet light to dry and solidify ink.UV can increase the brightness and artistic effect of the product, and protect the surface of the product. It has high hardness, is resistant to corrosion and friction, and is not prone to scratches.Some lamination
The products are now UV-coated, which can meet environmental protection requirements. However, UV products are not easy to bond, and some can only be solved through local UV or polishing.
Hot stamping process
: Use thermal pad printing method to transfer metal foil to
(Gold, silver foil) hot stamping on the surface of the printed matter, giving the surface of the printed matter a metallic texture and effect.After hot stamping once, if the gold foil is removed and then hot stamped a second time, the area will not shine. Therefore, hot stamping cannot be done a second time.
Embossed process
: Also known as imprinting, pressure is used to press graphics or text on the surface of printed matter to achieve special tactile and visual effects.
flocking process
: Brush a layer of glue on the surface of the printed matter, and then apply some velvet material to make the surface of the printed matter have a velvet effect.
Embossing process: It is a method that uses concave and convex molds to produce plastic deformation of printed matter under a certain pressure.
, thereby performing artistic processing on the surface of printed matter.The surface of the embossed printed matter shows patterns and textures of different shades, with an obvious relief three-dimensional effect, which enhances the artistic appeal of the printed matter.
Glazing process
: There are three forms of glazing, namely coating, calendering and UV glazing, which can enhance the moisture-proof, sun-proof, wear-resistant, anti-fouling and water-resistant properties of printed matter.
