Printing speed

It refers to the printing quantity of the printing machine per hour, It is the main indicator of printing machine production capacity. Improving printing speed enhances the production efficiency of printing machines, Shorten product production cycle, Improving the efficiency of printing enterprises is of great significance.



Offset printing

In the production process of offset printing press, From pre press preparation to trial printing, Moving on to formal mass printing, Printing speed inevitably changes. Only by recognizing and handling the changes in printing speed for ink, The impact of various factors such as printing pressure and printing paper, And solve it reasonably, To ensure the reliability and stability of the printing process, Effectively improve production efficiency.

Ink is an important factor in reproducing graphic and textual information, The printing process is the process of transferring ink to the substrate. In the offset printing process, Ink undergoes multiple crushing and transfer processes, Finally, it is transferred to the substrate through a rubber roller to form graphics and text.

ink transfer rate


Ink transfer rate is one of the factors affecting the quality of printed materials, And it will decrease with the increase of printing speed.



reason: The faster the printing speed, The shorter the time it takes for ink to roll between the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder, The closer the ink layer splits, the closer it is to the paper, The thinner the ink layer distributed to the paper after ink splitting, This leads to a decrease in ink transfer rate, The ink color of the printed matter becomes lighter.


measure: Increase printing pressure to increase ink transfer volume; At the same time as adding a release agent to the ink, Increase the ink supply of the ink delivery device, Thicken the ink layer transferred to the paper while keeping the transfer rate constant.

Printing manufacturers that supply in large quantities often need to ship in a timely manner, And the quality is guaranteed. Simply put, it means printing quickly, dry fast, Once the printed product is out of the oven, it can immediately enter the packaging and shipping process.


UV curing light source


UV light source capable of instantly curing ink improves efficiency, Appearing particularly important. Only able to match with ink, Simultaneously matching the illumination range and power with the printing paper, The light intensity can match the printing speed, Realize instant drying of ink, To meet the demand for on-demand printing of offset printing orders, Dry out of the oven, The demand for fast shipping.


measure: Choose a branded light source supplier, Develop an exclusive curing plan based on the actual production situation, adjust UV Light source to the parameters that are most suitable for the manufacturer's printing speed and printing material.

Printing pressure that is too high or too low can cause printing malfunctions, The printing pressure is too low, The branch is fake, Ink color is not solid; The printing pressure is too high, Dot Gain, lack unity and coherence. Therefore, The printing pressure must be appropriate.


When increasing the printing speed


Reduced embossing time for rubber cylinders and substrates, The amount of ink transferred to the substrate also decreases accordingly, The ink color of the printed matter becomes lighter.


We must simultaneously increase the printing pressure, Ensure sufficient contact between the printing plate and the rubber blanket, as well as between the rubber blanket and the substrate, To ensure the smooth transfer of graphic and textual printing.

During the process of offset printing, The peeling force of paper is mainly manifested by overcoming the cohesive force of ink, The magnitude of peeling force is directly proportional to the distance of peeling.
peel force


Under constant pressure, Printing speed increases, Shortened embossing time, The imprint trajectory per unit time increases, The distance of paper peeling increases, The peeling force also increases; Conversely, Decreased printing speed, Reduced peeling force.


When the printing speed increases to a certain extent, When peeling off paper from the rubber blanket, Due to increased peeling force, Paper remains unchanged, The surface strength of paper is always the same, When the peeling force is greater than the surface strength of the paper, It will inevitably lead to faults such as paper scratching, powder peeling, and even paper peeling.



summary


Stable and efficient enterprise performance
Offset printing process

For manufacturers whose main production process is offset printing, We should take appropriate measures, Adjust the parameters and energy efficiency of the four major influencing factors, Only by improving printing speed and efficiency can we ensure, Produce high-quality printed materials, Strive for a larger market and user base for oneself.
