Printing Consultant And Service

Current problems faced by printing enterprises

 

In the new environment of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization, printing and packaging enterprises are gradually transitioning from the rough production mode to the refined and standardized printing process and automatic printing process; More and more management of printing and packaging enterprises attach importance to saving costs and improving printing quality and efficiency. The following questions are often raised by the majority of printing and packaging enterprises in the face of increasingly fierce market competition.

　　

 

How to effectively solve these problems, the key is to control and manage the printing production process in the entire production process with a standardized method based on ISO international standards, so as to achieve low consumption and high efficiency and achieve stable printing quality.

　　

 

If printing enterprises want to take the road of standardization, they must comprehensively consider and analyze each key control point of the entire printing process, formulate relevant operation specifications and enterprise standards, and strictly implement them, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the core competitiveness of enterprises. As far as the current situation of the printing industry is concerned, the construction of digitalization and standardization is extremely urgent if we want to stand firm in the future competition.

 

Standardization helps improve efficiency and quality

 

In the process of establishing enterprise standardization, some new digital authentication methods are also essential for enterprises to implement standardization and digitalization. At present, G7 certification and GMI certification, which are relatively authoritative in the printing industry, are new digital evaluation, control and optimization methods. Various certification tests have clear control standards and tolerances for prepress materials, CTP, production environment and printing quality evaluation parameters. The whole test process is a standardized printing process. Only within the tolerance range of the standard can the certification test be successfully passed. The certification test includes the test of the entire printing process flow of ink, paper, environment, CTP and printing machine, so as to establish the standardization of the entire printing process flow.

　　

 

Purpose of printing standardization:

Adjust the prepress and printing equipment to the best and stable state, ensure the printing quality, stable and consistent color, and meet the international standard of printing ISO12647-2. At the same time, speed up the printing machine adjustment time, reduce the paper waste, reduce the downtime, and improve the printing speed.

　　

 

Printing standardization has been paid more and more attention by printing enterprises! Because the profits and costs of the printing industry have changed a lot compared with the previous ones, many printing enterprises hope to give full play to the potential of equipment and materials on the basis of low cost and time cost, realize standardized color control and standardized production, so that the quality level of their printing products can be quickly integrated with the international standard, and the quality control ability can be rapidly synchronized with the international standard, so as to improve the enterprise reputation and market competitiveness while improving the quality and efficiency.

Benefits of printing standardization:

• Improve printing quality, standardize operation process and improve equipment efficiency

• Improve color management ability and color restoration degree

• Enhance the enthusiasm of relevant employees and clarify their responsibilities and objectives

• Break down communication barriers between departments and with customers

• New employees can learn quickly through written standard work procedures

• Reduce production errors, and effectively trace the source to find the cause of the problem

• ISO printing standardization realizes "green" production

• Establish production quality standards and formulate standardization rules for production process

• Ultimately improve printing efficiency and reduce waste, improve customer satisfaction, and bring more benefits to the company

G7 International Standardization Certification Service

Among various certification systems, GRACoL's G7 certification system is the most concerned one. The application of G7 process methods in printing standardization has also begun to penetrate into small and medium-sized enterprises. Data, standardized and standardized production, and maintaining a long-term, stable and repeatable printing state are the requirements of G7 certification. After a G7 certification, the color standards of most machines, inks and papers in the whole factory have been re established.

　　

 

G7 certification provides a unified standard for brand manufacturers from design to production, which makes the printing and packaging products produced by printers show a high degree of unity on the shelf. The color consistency and stability of printed materials has always been a headache in the industry, and the printing color pursued by brands is measurable, verifiable and reproducible, and certification and standardization undoubtedly provide a method for this demand. Through process control means, operation standardization, measurement data, and evaluation objectification are realized, all of which provide a feasible solution for printing buyers and printing manufacturers.

GMI coaching and certification services

With the improvement of the digitalization of the printing and packaging industry and the intensification of the domestic market competition, more and more printing enterprises have turned their eyes to the foreign printing and packaging market. While foreign enterprises often judge product quality through data, GMI, as an organization specialized in evaluation and certification of packaging suppliers, has gradually been recognized by more and more people in the industry.

　　

 

For printing enterprises, through GMI certification, in addition to obtaining orders from large foreign packaging and printing materials purchasers who have cooperative relations with GMI, they can also reduce the loss of printing materials within the enterprise, reduce costs, improve the ability of production personnel and product quality with the help of the standardized processes required by GMI. In this process, they can make all processes and equipment status transparent, promote equipment maintenance, and improve productivity. However, in the actual printing production process, printing enterprises often encounter problems such as the product quality is difficult to reach the standard and the test score is difficult to pass due to various problems.

　　

 

Through the GMI certification, it marks the qualification and ability of large foreign packaging and printing purchasers who have cooperative relations with GMI in production and processing. At the same time, with the help of the standardized process required by GMI, we can continue to optimize the raw material consumption, equipment maintenance, operation specifications, improve the ability of production personnel and product quality, and enhance the comprehensive strength of the enterprise.

Proofing and color matching consulting services

Different devices and media are involved in the color reproduction process, and there are uncertain relationships between them, which makes it difficult to keep the image color consistent from the original to the display, and then to the final print. How to make the color of "what you see is what you get" on the screen similar to the color of the printed product? If the color of the printed product deviates greatly from the color of our display or printed version, it will cause rejection by customers and direct economic losses. "Kaiyin Technology proofing and color matching consulting service" assists printing and packaging enterprises to control color and accurately match samples.
