The significance of printing special paper and its current development
Printing specialty paper, as its name suggests, is a special-purpose printing paper, which can also be understood as a printed paper with a special structure and characteristics. For example: information, cultural and artistic use, certificates, security, banknotes, etc., as long as it is used for special purpose printing paper, all can be collectively referred to as printing specialty paper. Because of its special use requires a gluing case, it is required that it must have a special structure and features, a special function.
The significance of the use of printing specialty papers lies in the fact that human beings can use full paper technology to provide application products and solutions for certain special fields. This is the inevitable result of the continuous development of the market economy and the continuous development of human technologies. Technology and products are more detailed, subdivided, and personalized. As a result, the trend toward personalization becomes more obvious.
With the continuous introduction of new colors for the printing of specialty papers, it has opened up people’s horizons and changed people’s views on traditional paper. The raw materials are no longer limited to the plant fibers, non-plant fibers (such as inorganic fibers, synthetic fibers) have been applied, the combination of plant fibers and synthetic materials, etc., function has also been continuously invented new combinations of printing, such as copying printing paper, copying Black paper, fragile synthetic paper, security paper, watermark paper, etc.
However, we have also noticed that the development of printing specialty papers also faces difficulties, such as high administrative threshold, large capital investment, high equipment requirements, and large technical difficulties. At the same time, many applications for printing specialty papers are narrow and require less.
At present, the output of domestically produced printing specialty papers is very low, and the cost and market demand are gradually developing. Moreover, due to the wide range of application of printing specialty papers, high performance and high added value, the paper mills producing small and medium-sized production printing specialty papers in China lack the technical and product innovation capabilities, and the technical cooperation with scientific research institutes is not very close, making China's printing special There are certain obstacles to the development of paper.
Printing specialty paper production enterprises should make proper production planning and move forward in the direction of product transformation and technology development. It is believed that they will certainly establish a good space for the survival and development of the domestic printing and specialty paper industry.
The lack of printing special paper
First, the price is more expensive. Ordinary embossed paper is much more expensive than the same amount of the same kind of paper, so the large-scale use of embossed paper to print special pictures because the price factor can not afford the publication, so it is generally only used for the design and printing of the cover or important data.
Secondly, most printing specialty papers have good absorptivity and penetration, but due to uneven lines, the ink penetrates into crevices during printing, especially for large-area solid-field printing, which is difficult to dry and easy to use. Dirty. When printing a four-color overprinted character image, the tone is more boring. When consumers who do not like soft tone do not understand why the color of printed products printed on specialty paper is not bright enough, when printing on specialty paper, the printing effect must be communicated to the customer. So as to avoid unnecessary losses.
Third, in the printing of specialty papers for colored printing, attention should be paid to the fact that dark colored printed special paper surfaces cannot print four-color images. Can only print metal luster or special tone ink, such as gold, silver, spot colors and so on. For example, when printing four-color halftone images on the surface of printing special papers in light beige, light green, light blue, light pink, etc., the phenomenon of color cast occurs, and in general, the color of the paper surface will be shifted toward the surface of the paper. Therefore, it is best not to use color paper to print halftone images when designing. However, if you can correctly use works designed with different styles and different colors of printed specialty papers, there will be unexpected special effects that will add brilliance to your work.
The development prospect of printing special paper
From the above overview of the book printing, we generally appreciate the style and application of printed specialty paper.
What is certain is that the specialization of paper is becoming more and more obvious, the performance is becoming more and more perfect, and the fields of application are more detailed. It is one of the key areas where countries compete for development and innovation. The broad prospects for development are anti-counterfeit printing and the benefits are considerable. It is worth investing in the development of enterprises and institutions under various systems. At the same time, we should also see that the development of special papers for printing in various fields in China is not balanced, and the impact of economic strength and market acceptance is relatively large. The prospects for future development are not a "broad" explanation.
The future trend of printing special papers is, in my opinion, Lekai Glue, which has the following characteristics:
1. The use of printing special papers for security purposes will be the first to emerge due to its technical and monopolistic nature, and will be widely used in many fields such as security, security, banknote printing, ticketing, certificates, etc.;
2. The demand for printing special papers in other industries will increase with the increase in business demand. The paper mills and paper R&D institutions will compete to establish research projects, develop metal packaging, and applications; and in-depth cooperation with customers;
3. With the advancement of integration of domestic and international markets, China will be able to see more foreign technologies and products and gain more experience in the international market. This will surely promote the development of the domestic paper industry and the refinement of the market.
4. The demand for paper has been slowed down due to environmental protection requirements and has been somewhat restrained. However, the issue of waste paper recycling and recycling has always been a matter of priority for government and people. Therefore, the prospects for recycling and reuse technologies are promising.
5. The price and printing adaptability of various kinds of printing special papers currently in use will continue to improve as the demand increases and the technology improves.
