Explain the common modern printing process in detail

The printing process can be said to be the entire process of printing and copying visual and tactile information, including pre-press, printing, post-press processing and sending. It is a complex and highly tested technology that integrates photography, art, crafts, chemistry, electronics, computer software, hardware technology, and environmental protection considerations. Technology of copying art, text, and images in batches as required through coordination, photography, word processing and art design, editing, color separation, plate making, printing, and post-press molding processing.

1. Hot stamping / hot silver

   The scientific name is hot press transfer printing, or hot transfer printing for short, commonly known as bronzing and silver bronzing. It is a method of hot stamping the metal foil on the printed matter with the help of a certain pressure and temperature, and there is also a cold pad printing.

2. Pass UV
   It is ultraviolet glazing, and UV is abbreviation, which means that the ink can be dried and cured by ultraviolet radiation. UV is usually a silk screen printing process, and now there is also offset printing UV. If you use the film and then pass the UV, you need to use a special UV film, otherwise the UV is easy to fall off, blistering and other phenomena.

3. From convex
  Definition: The use of a convex template (male template) to emboss a three-dimensional relief-like pattern on the surface of the printed matter through pressure (the printed matter is partially raised to make it three-dimensional and cause visual impact.) It is called convex.

4. Depression
   Using a concave template (female template) to emboss the surface of the printed matter into a depression-like relief pattern (the printed matter is partially recessed to give it a three-dimensional effect and cause visual impact.) It is called indentation.

5. Embossing
   The metal roller with engraved lines is pressurized to leave a full version of the line texture on the surface of the paper.

6. Die cutting
   The die-cutting process is a forming process in which a special die-cutting knife is made according to the design requirements of the printed matter, and then the printed matter or other substrates are rolled into the required shape or cut under the action of pressure.

7. Glitter
   It is to pass a layer of glue on the paper, and then sprinkle gold powder on the glue.

8. Laminating
   Lay a layer of transparent plastic film on the printed paper. There are crystal film, light film and matte film, which are called differently in many places and are not environmentally friendly.

9. Flocking
   It is to apply a layer of glue to the paper, and then paste a layer of material similar to fluff, so that the paper looks and feels a little fluffy.

10. Brush the edges
    It is to brush an extra layer of color on the edge of the paper, which is suitable for thicker paper, and is often used for business cards.

11.YO
    It is an object like a spring, mostly plastic, which is generally used on the spine of wall calendars and notebooks, and used for page turning.

12. Pinhole
     Also called needle thread and dental floss, it is to press a semi-connected line into the paper, which usually appears at the opening of the package.

13. Punch
     It is to make a hole for a piece of paper or N pieces of paper according to the required size, and there is a special punching machine.

14. Pressure point line
     The pressure point line is to make a special knife plate for the pressure point line according to the designed graphics, and then use the machine to let the blade (with toothed blade) on the paper and the knife plate produce a pressure point line effect through pressure.

15. Laser embossing transfer
     After coating the surface of the printed product with UV varnish, it enters the imprinting system, where the printed product is combined with the laser transfer film, and then cured instantly by UV light irradiation, and finally the printed product is transferred to the laser.

16. Freezing Snowflake
      Freezing snowflake is a kind of fine sandy feeling and delicate hand feeling formed on the surface of the printed product after the ink silk screen printed on gold cardboard, silver cardboard, laser cardboard, PVC and other substrates, wrinkled by UV light and cured by UV light. Craftsmanship.

17. Brush gold on the side
     Hot stamping gold foil on the sides of piles of books or business cards can echo the hot stamping on the front and back, presenting a high-level texture.

18. Glazing and waxing
     Varnishing is to apply or spray a layer of colorless transparent paint on the surface of the printed matter to brush the luster of the product and play a role in waterproof and oil-proof on the surface of the package. The product has bright luster and has a good barrier effect. To make it form a shiny film to increase the wax printing, hot-melt wax is applied to the wrapping paper.
