Quick printing shop finishing equipment after the purchase of points

With the rise of digital printing, on-demand printing technology and binding processes, rapid printing shops have rapidly emerged. Most of the investors in such fast-print shops are photocopier sellers, advertising companies, design institutes, and IT professionals. They know little about post-press equipment and are prone to misunderstandings when purchasing. In fact, post-press binding is very much like a football game, and it will have a decisive effect on the final result. From the perspective of input-output ratio, binding is also the largest output ratio. After the improper selection of the finishing equipment, it will often become a “chicken rib” for fast printing shops, leaving it useless and discarding. Here are some suggestions for everyone to refer to when choosing a finishing device for printing.

1. Avoid blind worship. At present, the domestic market involves the import of printing and post-printing equipment of the fast printing industry, such as CP.Bourg, and Japan, which are expensive to use. Such imported equipment is expensive, and there are not many fast print shops that can purchase these two products. Quick printing shop should not blindly worship the ocean when choosing printing equipment, domestic like Zhuhai giant cypress automation, Beijing Heng India production for the printing industry after the printing equipment, not only cheap, performance can also meet the user's requirements .

2. Do not believe in so-called experts. You should visit the seller's recommended users and look at the configuration of other stores in your business, especially visiting Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, etc. Large stores to understand the equipment they are using now. Don't rely on so-called expert recommendations and find binding equipment that suits your business.

3. Give full consideration to the customer. The customer base of the service is different, and the selected finishing equipment is different. For example, a bookbinding machine with a binding length of 420 mm or more (taking into account that the cutting margin of the head and the foot should be 430 mm or more) should be selected as the main service object for the design institute; if it has a Fuji Xerox color digital printer, etc. Equipment, you should consider the ability to bind binding paper binding machine, at least should have a good milling cutter with a good milling back effect. In addition, it depends on whether it meets the requirements of the national standard and whether it can meet the continuous and frequent processing operations.

For another example, when selecting a paper cutting machine, it is necessary to consider not only cutting the book block, but also cutting the cover; if there is a printing machine, a large-format and rough-roller model should be selected when selecting a cold heading machine; The hole machine should be considered to be able to carry out punching of the folder, but also can carry out special size, different hole diameter punching, handbags and other holes, so should try to choose hole edge, hole pitch adjustable hole puncher.

4. Carefully select office equipment. The equipment used in the fast print shop is essentially different from the equipment used in the small office in terms of life span, efficiency, and adaptability. If the quick-printing shop only selects the manual bonder, it will not be able to meet the customer's time requirement when it encounters a bulk job. For another example, office punching machines have limited punching thickness, short life span, and expensive burs for consumables; some hoops binding machines are scrapped even after loading a batch of jobs, which is not practical.

5. Take full account of the use and maintenance costs. The cost of use is long-term and it is more important than the cost of purchase. In use, once the binding equipment fails to be used, the entire quick-printing shop will be paralyzed and cause great losses. Cheaper equipment, if it cannot work continuously, will not be able to bring benefit to fast printing shops; expensive imported equipment, if it can not provide good services and timely spare parts supply, can not bring profits to fast printing shops.

6. Standardization and specialization will help the printing shop go further. People without thought, he must worry about. Fast printing shops, especially chain stores, should consider the issue of standardization and specialization when choosing the equipment for finishing printing. Although some of the binding work can be done manually, ensuring that customers can get the same quality of products and services at any time and at any chain store requires standard equipment.

7. Necessary equipment maintenance and operation training are indispensable. At the beginning, the quick printing shop generally did not attach importance to the selection and training of the binding staff, so the problem of machine damage due to improper operation or maintenance often occurred. Although manufacturers have the responsibility to provide timely maintenance services, it is still difficult to provide 24-hour on-site service at any time. Therefore, it is recommended that the fast-print shop should conduct operator training before installation of the equipment, and conditions should be provided to the equipment manufacturer for training, or the dealer has equipment specifically designed for training for use by the customer. Only when the operator has a clear understanding of the structure, adjustment, and maintenance methods of the equipment can he correctly use and maintain the machine. Some minor problems such as loose screws, improper adjustments, etc. can be resolved by telephone after communicating with maintenance personnel; The personnel may judge the possible cause of the fault according to the operator's description before carrying out the maintenance, carrying the parts to be replaced and the necessary tools so as to eliminate the fault in the shortest possible time.
