Digital fast printing, in fact, is digital rapid printing or printing.

Digital fast printing is a printing technology that uses the pre-press system to transmit the best information directly to the digital printing machine through the network to print color prints. It can be printed in one sheet, which is especially suitable for paper prints with high quality requirements, many varieties and small batches.

Digital fast printing shop, **fast printing shop, can print some business cards, samples, books, personalized printing things.

Novices are generally 1,000 to 1,000, and skilled operators can have a basic salary of about 1,000, but some stores have commissions, which can reach about 2,000 at most.

It is a business, as if the printing industry is doing it.

Digital fast printing is a store that makes some print-on-demand stores that you usually encounter. Unlike the printing house, which requires a certain amount to be printed, it is generally printed in one sheet. Most of them will do ** digital transport printing, do photo albums, file printing, promotional materials, recipes, etc., like the printing market there are many such stores, some stores will also do spray painting, * these businesses.

Color box proofing, handbag proofing, small batch color box customization, production and processing, with a complete and scientific quality management system.

Digital fast printing and digital printing are roughly the same as photocopying and printing. Its speed is fast with the help of the computer, the use of digital form, fast output, can achieve color black and white overprint, its printing quality is not worse than the quality of large printing presses, because it omits the traditional printing of the plate-making and exposure program, so as to achieve the purpose of fast printing of the finished product. It can also make it a reality for individuals to publish books in small quantities at low prices, and it is deeply loved by some individuals and units who are in urgent need of printed products.

Detailed**. 1. Roadside typing and photocopying shops, because of the convenient geographical location, such customers will receive a lot of digital printing orders.

2. Advertising companies, many customers are required to design and print one-stop to hand over to them, large quantities of them to find a printing house, small batches need to use digital printing.

3. Printing houses, they do it themselves in large quantities, but now a huge number of customer needs are one-stop, so now many traditional printing factories will look for some long-term cooperation with digital printing enterprises.

4. The design and planning institute, they need a lot of tarsal surfaces, but the business in this kind of place is generally done by related households.

The above are the most common units of the digital printing business, and all the remaining companies will have some, conference materials, training materials, etc.。。。

Digital printing. Design Customer Review Finished Product AInvestors:

Four-color wax hand printing equipment investment is mostly in the millions of yuan, the equipment covers a large area, the production site investment is large, the configuration of personnel, a four-color printing machine must be equipped with 3-4 people, high technical requirements, auxiliary equipment, such as exposure machine, phototypesetting machine, proofing machine, etc. The investment in digital printing equipment is mostly tens of thousands-hundreds of thousands, most of the equipment covers a small area, the digital printing machine covers a small area, and the personnel who have an understanding of pre-press production can operate it simply, without auxiliary equipment.

b.Customer: Modern business activities need immediate, flexible and changeable prints, and the traditional offset printing of less than 5,000 copies of the printing needs to bear the printing cost of 5,000 copies, one-time printing of a large number of effective prints, although it will reduce the cost of a single sheet, but also increase the cost of warehousing.

Digital short-run printing truly caters to the ever-changing needs of source or commercial printing, and fast printing is such as small quantities and flexible varieties. 1.Variable data printing (which cannot be solved by traditional printing).

2.Correct printing errors in a timely manner (traditional printing errors must be re-issued and re-printed) 3A large variety of printed products with a small number (traditional printing solves the difficulty, and the cost is extremely high, such as: publishing house sample book).

In terms of national standards, there is no exclusive national standard for the digital fast printing industry, so it has been in a relatively chaotic state in the field of digital fast printing.

From the perspective of fast printing technology, the printing technology machine in the digital fast printing industry is very simple to operate, and they are all skilled workers, but the technical requirements for post-press binding are very high. That is, in this most important part, in the absence of national standards, the quality and effect of tooling are uneven.

From the perspective of management skills, the digital fast printing industry is different from traditional printing, and in many cases it requires a lot of manpower to be completed in an open store, so this involves the dual requirements of personnel management and store management.

For investors who want to initially get involved in this industry, perhaps the best outcome is to choose to use the franchise method. Because only in this way can we stand out from those small street shops, can we not have to explore the development path in the early stage, can surpass some competitors from the starting line, and can use the mature experience of others.

Digital printing technology should be included in printing technology.

Today's printing technology is divided into so-called "traditional" printing and digital printing in terms of process.

At present, the mainstream printing process no matter what kind of printing is required to make a printing plate, with a printing plate to reproduce a large number of printed materials, which is also one of the reasons why the printing service fee has a starting price, because even if a finished product is printed, a set of printing plates must be made. Nowadays, the emerging digital printing technology is plateless digital on-demand printing, and the cost is also calculated on a single sheet.

Therefore, traditional printing and digital printing are currently aimed at different needs of the market, large quantities of the same content of the copy printing, such as books and magazines, advertising, etc., traditional printing in cost and speed advantages; Ultra-short edition small batch personalized printing such as menus, personal photo albums, commemorative albums, personalized desk calendars, etc., digital printing has cost and speed advantages. At present, because digital printing is still in the emerging period, the digital printing machine that can approach and reach the traditional printing quality in terms of quality is very expensive, and the relatively cheap one cannot be compared with the products obtained by the traditional printing method in terms of printing accuracy and quality.

Digital fast printing is printed using computers and printers.

Traditional printing, there are too many types of this, from the oldest engraving printing to modern typography printing, I don't know which one you have to ask.

If you want to print one by one and in different layouts, you look for digital printing;

On the contrary, for large-scale printing on the same page, you look for traditional printing;

Print-on-demand --- is an advantage of digital printing.

Traditional printing --- high-volume prints.

The ink used in the two is different, and the process is completely different!

According to the technology**, the existing digital printing equipment on the market can be roughly divided into the following four categories.

1. Digital printing machine - developed from photocopier technology and digital technology.

1) Typical representatives: Toshiba, Konica, Ricoh, Canon, Xerox, Osi, etc. This type of equipment generally consists of three parts:

Scanning, laser-printing, and folding. It is more versatile and can scan, copy, print and digitally publish.

This kind of equipment belongs to the multi-functional digital printing system, which is a type of digital printing, which has transformed from a single output device to a digital input and output integrated equipment.

2) The characteristics and advantages of the digital printing machine: the output speed is even higher than the page per minute, which is suitable for a wide range of markets; Thanks to the addition of digital technology, the quality is stable; The equipment is simple to operate and the working environment is clean; The digital group service system has become a reality, making it more convenient for users; The system has low cost and strong competitiveness; It is precisely these characteristics of the digital printing machine that we expect its development prospects.

2. Digital multi-function machine - developed based on printer technology.

This kind of equipment is the same as the former in principle, but because they do not master the technology of high-speed laser printing cores (except for Canon and Xerox), most manufacturers of digital all-in-one machines can only compete in the low-speed (less than 30 pages per minute) market, and even compete for the fax machine market and the printer market. It is difficult for this type of equipment to enter the digital printing market.

3. Digital printing machine - developed from printing machine technology, digital technology and electronic ink technology.

The typical representative is HP Indigo.

4. Digital printing machine - developed from printing machine technology plus digital technology and on-machine direct plate-making technology.

Typical representative: Heidelberg DI.

Market Positioning for Digital Printing Systems.

Digital printing has a high printing speed and high quality. In addition, digital printing has no requirements for the amount of print, and the cost of a single sheet is fixed, which makes the investment of digital printing machines low and the return on high returns. Although digital printing appeared relatively late, its technology has been basically mature, and its application space is gradually expanding.

From the actual application of the market, the digital printing system should be clearly positioned in the printing fields such as fast and short version, on-demand, personalization, and variable data. With the development and application of digital printing technology, the development of digital printing in China is very rapid. According to the survey, in 2007 and 2010, the installed capacity of digital printing equipment grew steadily, with an annual growth rate of about 30%, and in 2010 and 2011, the installed capacity increased by leaps and bounds, with a growth rate of more than 40%, and the application is more mature, the application field continues to expand, the application proportion is increasing year by year, and the application level is increasing year by year.

The imported digital printing equipment is an important part of the installed capacity of domestic digital printing equipment.

Digital fast printing, also known as short-run printing or digital printing, it is different from traditional printing in that digital fast printing can be printed in one piece, the data is variable, and it can also be disseminated in various media, which greatly improves the commercial application scope of digital imaging. Digital fast printing is a new type of printing technology that uses the prepress system to transmit the best information directly to the digital printing machine through the network to print color prints.
