平版印刷又称为胶印,是一种最常用的印刷方式它是由早期石版印刷发展而来的,此后又改进为用金属锌或铝做版材,其特点是印纹部分与非印纹部分同处在一个平面上,利用油水相斥的原理,把图像印刷到一个橡皮胶印滚筒上,再由滚筒把图像印到纸上。胶印机有多个印刷装置,可以传送不同的颜色。平版印刷套色准确、制版简便、成本低廉、色调柔和、层次丰富。
凸版印刷是最早发明的,并且是一种最古老的印刷技术,其特点是将版面凸出部分的图像和文字上色后直接印在纸上。它的应用原理就像盖图章,凸起的地方着墨,直接印在承印物上。这种印刷方式不能印制多层次、色彩丰富的印刷品,其表现力受到很大制约,而对印刷大面积的单色印刷品具有优势。
凹版印刷是一种快速发展的印刷方式,它的原理与凸版印刷正好相反,印纹部分凹于版面,非印纹部分则是平滑的。凹下去的部分用来装填油墨,印前将印版表面的油墨刮擦干净,放上纸张并施以压力后,凹陷部分的印纹就被转印到了纸上。
凹版印刷具有油墨厚实色调丰富、版面酣印度强、颜色再现力强等优点。应用范围广泛,适合各种印刷材料和大批量印刷,但制版费用高,制版工艺较为复杂,不适合于小批量印刷。常用于画面精美的包装印刷。
孔版印刷又叫丝网印刷,即用丝网做版材的一种印刷方式。具体的方法是在印版上制作出图文和版膜两部分,版膜的作用是阻止油墨的通过,而图文部分则是通过外力的刮压将油墨漏印到承印物上,从而形成印刷图形。其原理为,在平面的版材上挖割孔穴,然后施墨,使墨料透过孔隙漏印到承印物上。
孔版印刷的范围广泛,从大型广告到名片都可以印制,而且可以在纸张、棉布、丝绸、塑料、玻璃、木材、金属等各种材质的承印物上印刷。比如:我们常见的汽车上的字体的印刷、外包装盒上图文的印刷等,尤其在包装容器的瓶体印刷上具有优势。
数码印刷是一项综合性很强的技术,涵盖了印刷电子、电脑、网络通信等多个技术领域。所谓数码印,就是电子档案由电脑直接传送到印刷机,取消了分色、拼版、制版、试车等步骤,对于印量不大(不足1000份)的四色印刷作业非常有效,从输入到输出,整个过程可以由一个人控制,实现一张起印。
Lithographic printing, also known as offset printing, is one of the most commonly used printing methods. It was developed from early lithographic printing and has since been improved to use metal zinc or aluminum plates, its characteristic is that the image is printed on a rubber offset printing cylinder by the principle of oil-water repulsion, and then the image is printed on the paper by the cylinder. An offset press has multiple printing devices that transmit different colors. Lithographic printing register accurate, plate-making simple, low cost, soft color, rich levels. Relief Printing is the earliest invention and one of the oldest printing techniques, characterized by the printing on paper of images and text from the projection of the page. Its application principle is like a seal, raised place ink, directly printed on the substrate. This kind of printing method can not print multi-level, colorful printing, its performance is greatly restricted, and printing large area of monochrome printing has advantages. INTAGLIO printing is a rapid development of the printing method, its principle and relief printing is the opposite, the print part of the gravure plate, the non-print part is smooth. The concave part is used to fill the ink. Before printing, the ink on the printing plate is scraped clean, put on the paper and pressed, the concave part of the image is transferred to the paper. Gravure printing has the advantages of thick ink, rich color, good print quality and good color reproduction. Widely used, suitable for a variety of printing materials and mass printing, but plate-making cost is high, plate-making process is more complex, not suitable for small-batch printing. It is often used for the packaging and printing of exquisite pictures. The hole plate printing is also called the Silk Screen Printing, namely uses the silk screen to do the plate one kind of printing way. The specific method is to make a printing plate and plate film two parts, plate film is to prevent the ink through, and the part of the picture and text is through the external force of scraping the ink leakage to the substrate, thus forming a printing pattern. The principle is to cut holes in the plane plate, and then apply ink, so that the ink through the hole leakage to the substrate. Hole printing a wide range of printing, from large advertising to business cards can be printed, and can be printed on paper, cotton, silk, plastic, glass, wood, metal and other materials on the substrate. For example: We are common on the Car Font Printing, on the outer packaging box graphics and text printing, especially in the packaging container bottle printing has the advantage. Digital Printing is a comprehensive technology, covering printing electronics, computers, network communications and other technical fields. The so-called digital printing, that is, electronic files are transferred directly from the computer to the printing machine, eliminating the steps of color separation, plate-making, test run and so on. It is very effective for four-color printing operations with a small print volume (less than 1000 copies) , from input to output, the whole process can be controlled by a single person to achieve a printing.
