1. Automatic design and smoother production process

    The rapid progress of computer hardware and software shows that the memory capacity and computing speed have grown ten times or a hundred times. For repetitive actions, as long as the program and the number of changes are recorded, the computer can simulate the creation of human instructions, such as removing memorization, adding Shadowing and changing the base map, as long as there are proofs and the action process, the computer software artificial intelligence can respond to the operation, and there is no need to manually operate it again and again every time. It is fast and labor-saving, and there is no difference in personal skills. Computers will reach the level of human intelligence in language input and OCR byte recognition. As long as people understand, they can input, greatly reducing the burden of input. Image capture equipment ranges from digital cameras and mobile phones to scanners and video recorders. The sources are more convenient and diverse. Smart translation will make knowledge and information exchange in the global village more frequent and barrier-free, and increase printing and dissemination opportunities. With the development of cross-platform and cross-media file formats such as PDF and XML, it is of great help to the use of communication processes and automatic production. The use of scheduling automated production will definitely achieve labor-saving, and sometimes even unmanned production.

   2. Internet applications change the way and technology of print communication

   Due to the improvement of network bandwidth and the advancement of file compression technology, the restrictions on file formats have been reduced, and under the application of faster and more convenient corporate intranet communication and external Internet applications, the current contract is for small file network printing. It has become far-reaching remote proofing and remote dispersion printing. The application of network technology has greatly changed the printing market and ecology. In the future, the publishing house warehouse will only need a little bit, only the server publication files and sales mechanism will be the main focus. The lock code technology will be used by designated printing units to print and print as needed, or in their respective After the customer has finished printing, the file will be automatically hidden. At this time, the printing industry will only undertake the production of page files and manage the information. Printing and printing are the work of local use or remote transmission of files in small quantities. Salespeople don't need to take the catalog to run around the world, as long as they print it locally, the user pays the royalties to buy the book, and goes home to output it by himself or entrust it to a specialized store for printing and binding.

    3. Diversified output application of a single information file

    Input sources include keyboard, voice, digital tablet, digital camera, scanner, and text, graphics (Computer Graphic), image and voice information created by computer, which are integrated into high-resolution printing files that can be used for large-size images. Therefore, in addition to In addition to printed materials and posters, other web pages and CD electronic media can continue to use these page files, but these electronic files are often not as detailed as printed media. Therefore, the printing industry must recognize that it is the original creator and manager of page information. position, there is a larger living space.

    Fourth, the transformation of lithography

    Lithographic printing is the most widely used format and is in decline, but based on efficiency, quality and cost, lithographic printing is still the main format for short, medium and long runs in packaging, publishing and commercial printing. CTP is widely used, making it cost and engineering advantageous, DI on-machine plate making, spanning prepress, printing and even converting stages. In the future, under the nanotechnology, the single-fluid printing of the general PS version without water will make the lithographic printing quality and cost more competitive. There is a quality level. CIP4 will result in less makeready time and more accurate print color reproduction. For packaging and sheet metal printing, there is an ultra-compressed air-cushion blanket that can print on 1.5mm thick corrugated paper, eliminating the need for lamination applications. The set of digital tracking control has been used, and the future automatic detection and feedback compensation of water supply and ink supply will enable more logical and deductive control of the quality of the lithographic printing machine.

    After the digital control servo motor is widely used, the structure and control of the lithographic machine will be simpler. The servo motor not only replaces the crank and cam on the printin
