Book printing process detailed explanation (2)

Chapter 5 Stapling Leaflets: This is the simplest binding. It can also be said that there is no binding. It is OK to cut the printed sheets directly on the four sides of the finished product size.

Folding: This folding machine is completed. The form of folding includes any form of folding, three-folding, four-folding, and folding.

Saddle stitches: For booklets with thin paper or fewer pages, the binding costs are lower. The booklet size is divided into one, two, and three. Such as magazines, supermarket discount books, exercise books, product manuals and so on.

Saddle stitching process:

Binding: Divided into ventilated rubber, grinding ridges, and string-lined. Among them, the first two binding methods are collectively referred to as wireless glue. We see a lot of books and magazines are using wireless binding binding. This binding imposes a requirement on the thickness of the paper, and thick paper is not intended for use. The advantages of string-lined paperbacking are strong and durable, and the content of the book can be fully spread out, which is more beautiful than wireless glue, but the original is also higher. The recommended thickness of glue is 3mm.

Paperback (serial line, plastic) process flow:

Hardcover book:

Hardcover refers to the first book by the stringing machine posted a series of plastic ridge after the cut finished book block, after the flattening, ridge, paste gauze, sticking the head cloth, there is a binding of the liner and the shell glued book binding The method can be divided into square ridge hardcover, round ridge hardcover, soft hardcover (pseudo hardcover) and string hardcover.

Hardcover books are elegant and sophisticated compared to paperback books. The main difference in appearance is that hard books shells are added before and after the book, and the cost of materials and binding costs are increased accordingly, which is suitable for the binding of high-end books.

The hard shell of the hardcover book is made by wrapping the gray board with the thickness of the gray board ranging from 1mm to 3.5mm, and different thicknesses can be selected according to the needs. Hardcover fabrics come in many varieties. The most common is the use of paper as a shell surface, and can use 128g to 200g coated paper, single-sided printing and lamination. When the fabric is a book mounting paper, it does not require oil, plastic, and shells. Book shell fabrics can also be artificial leather, fabrics, brocade, PVC and so on.

The crafts on the fabric are splendid, such as local UV: frosted UV, colorful UV, thick UV; hot iron: hot gold, hot silver, hot gold, hot black, hot pressing, convex, concave and so on.

Hardcover books also include such technologies as gold-rolling, sleeve protection, and shrink packaging.
Hardcover book process:

In addition to the above binding methods, there are old-line bindings, sewing bindings, piercing bindings, luxury bindings, etc., which are no longer enumerated.

Chapter 6 Post-print Finishing Oil:

Varnish is also called ink. It refers to the printing of a layer of transparent and glossy oily ink. Therefore, printing oil belongs to the printing process. It is not the actual printing process, but it is listed here. The purpose of the varnish is mainly to increase the luster of the graphic and make the picture more vivid. The varnish can also be printed on the cover as a protective layer. It is divided into two kinds of varnish and dumb varnish. The dumb oil is dark and elegant.

UV:

Over UV highlights the gloss of the ink, and the UV layer of the local ink has a pronounced concave-convex feel, giving a particular visual impression. UV can be screen printed or offset.

Film:

The film is also called glue, which refers to the process of applying a layer of plastic film on the printed matter through the high temperature pressure of the laminating machine. The film is divided into two kinds: light film (photo glue) and matt film (dumb glue). The former has bright color and the latter is dark and elegant. The cover of the book has a decorative and protective effect. Note that uneven paper is not suitable for lamination.

Die cutting:

According to the design requirements, the paper is cut into different shapes or the process of “hollowing” the middle of the paper requires a die-cut version before die-cutting.

Hot stamping:

Also known as galvanized aluminum hot stamping, it is the use of a stencil mounted on a hot stamping machine to apply pressure and temperature to each other so that the printed matter and metal foil are pressed against each other in a short time, and the hot stamped stencil graphic is transferred to the surface of the printed matter. This process is often used for covers and shells.

Indentation, convex:

Embossing and embossing, also known as embossing, is a processing method that uses an anodized embossed plate without printing ink to press the printed matter out of embossed graphics. It is mostly used for shell surface, cover, trademark, paper box, greeting card. Processing of such prints.

Rolling mouth:

It is commonly used in hardcover books or on cards, such as postal books. The gold or silver foil material rolled on the side of the book block or cut on three sides of the book block is rolled to make the book block golden (silver).

Pairs:

With the improvement of living standards, children's books have become more colorful. The card type card book is a form that has emerged in recent years. It is made up of multi-layer cardboard or board paper, often combined with die-cutting, punching, stenciling, indentation and other processes. Materials for attachment, with strong interest, easy to look at, do not hurt others. In addition, albums, albums, and other commemorative books are often used in hardcover.

The seventh chapter after the process

Plastic bags, adhesive discs, jackets, girdles, and anti-counterfeiting labels have become more and more diverse in recent years.

Plastic seal: On the laminator, the book is sealed with a plastic film to protect the book from contamination and other processes.

Packaging of gifts: Today's magazines are accompanied by a wide variety of gifts, and different types of packaging are available for different shapes, sizes, and soft and hard to wear.
Packing: kraft paper packaged into the box

After the waste paper is packaged, it is reinforced with the word "well".

Chapter 8 Digital Printing The biggest difference between digital printing and traditional printing is that the process of printing out paper and printing on paper is omitted. The imaging principle is also different from offset printing. It is suitable for small batches, personalized prints. Fewer, up to 100. If you want to have several books of your own, such as commemorative albums, travel notes, photo albums, etc., the use of digital printing is the most economical and ideal.

The working principle of the digital printing machine is that the charging device charges a layer of charge on the surface of the recording drum, and the dot matrix information of the printer controller to print content (such as characters) is irradiated in the form of a laser beam to the surface of the recording drum that has been charged to put If the recording drum is rotated to the toner cartridge, the charge at the position required by the printing point will attract the toner, and the recording drum with the toner font will rotate until it turns off. At the printing device, the printing paper is located between the recording drum and the transfer device. The stronger reverse charge applied to the transfer device will draw the toner on the recording drum to the printing paper. The heating portion The carbon powder on the paper will be melted and dried, and it will be firmly stored on the printing paper to complete the printing process.

There are three types of digital printing print sizes: A4 (297mm x 210mm), A3 (420mm x 297mm), and SRA3 (450mm x 320mm). Digital printing is suitable for printing paper with a thickness of 80g to 250g.

Digital printing can be applied to a variety of documents. In addition to professional production software, office software and even printed documents can be used. Of course, the most standard is to provide electronic files in PDF format, which will make the printing process quick and accurate. Digital printing can do it right: it's better than others.
