Insight into the development prospects of offset presses

Since the 21st century, the development of global offset presses has entered a heyday. The major offset press manufacturers have spared no expense to innovate and develop offset presses. The high-tech and performance of offset presses have matured. Various types of flat sheet offset presses, medium and small format, large format, ultra large format, commercial and semi-commercial web offset presses, newspaper web offset presses, etc., their technical performance has been improved to varying degrees, for printing Production brings wide choices of well-being.

Although digital printing brings new opportunities to the printing field, traditional offset printing still occupies the largest market share. According to statistics, offset printing in the world in 2006 accounted for 65% of the market share of various printing methods. Faced with the huge market needs and attractiveness, coupled with the rising cost of the printing market and the drop in labor costs, major offset press manufacturers have continuously developed and launched various new offset presses to meet the market changes and development to meet users' adaptation to the market Competing needs. Throughout the development trend of the offset press market, we may wish to discuss and analyze from the following aspects:

Safer, simpler and faster operation

People-oriented is the goal and fundamental purpose of modern offset printing machine design. Only when the printing machine achieves the integration of man and machine can the machine exert its maximum efficiency. As the competition in the printing market intensifies, the printing speed of offset presses has become faster and faster. Large-format offset presses have reached 13 000-15 500 prints per hour, medium-format prints have reached 18,000 prints per hour, and small-format prints Reached 15,000 prints per hour.

At present, most offset press manufacturers have introduced advanced, high-sensitivity sensing technologies such as infrared and ultrasonic waves to high-speed running parts as a protective barrier. When the operator performs adjustment, sorting, cleaning, etc., once the limb If you accidentally enter the field of machine operation, the sensor will send a signal with the eye, and the machine will stop to avoid personal injury. The operation space is small, the operation skills are required, the difficulty is high, the operation is frequent, and the occasions with high strength are mostly improved to electromechanical automatic operation, completely eliminating the hidden safety hazards in the operation. For example, the cleaning and maintenance of printing plates, rubber and embossing rollers are manual operations in the past, and now mechanized operations have been used, as well as adjustments such as plate-up, plate-adjustment, rules, swinger teeth, and delivery roller anti-scratch support Both have been fully automatic or semi-automatic.

Informatization, digitization, and intelligence

With the rapid development of the global informatization process, people's demand for printing machines is no longer at the most basic function of being able to print, but is mainly to replace people's thinking, judgment, diagnosis of machine status, and to respond quickly No adjustments, which reflects the degree of intelligence of the machine in processing information and numbers. After decades of development, the mechanical structures of major brands of offset presses are very similar, but they are now in a fierce competition for the commanding heights in the field of electronic information and digital technology.

One of the technical difficulties of offset printing in printing is water-ink balance. With the variable-frequency speed-regulating motor independently driving the water roller structure to replace the original mechanical structure, the amount of water no longer changes with the speed of the machine, and the operator according to the print process requirements Arbitrary adjustments have greatly improved the water-ink balance technology. However, the difference between people's understanding of the amount of water, the grasp of environmental conditions and the difference in technical level and ability skills have led to a huge difference in the quality of printed products. Now technicians are trying to make the process parameters required by various complex situations into software, preset in the offset printing machine, the operator only needs to enter the relevant data, start the water and ink balance software system, the machine's mouth is running according to the best program. Similarly, fault diagnosis, emergency incident handling, special process requirements, etc., which were manually completed in the past, are now being gradually replaced by modern intelligent functions. I believe that with the development of automatic control software, printing presses will one day Become a machine that everyone can control.

Automation, multi-color, double-sided

The primary condition for improving production efficiency is the introduction of equipment with a high degree of automation. At present, the degree of automation, operability and perfection of offset printing machines have reached a new level. While the offset press is printing, it can accurately preset the printing parameters of the new print, so as to put in the next batch of live printing in the shortest time, which greatly reduces the preparation time before printing. It can be completed in a few minutes. A high degree of automation will be the direction pursued by sheet-fed offset printing presses in the future, and as a result, production efficiency can leap to a higher level.

Double-sided printing has a history of many years, but the earliest double-sided printing is mainly based on text printing, with positive and negative colors. With the popularization of multi-color printing, the printing industry's pursuit of multi-color has moved from four colors and five colors to six colors and eight colors. In the era of popular fashion printing, especially the expression of modern design features, more need to use multi-color offset printing machine to complete. If the metallic color or glazing is used to make it a high-end printed product, it is not easy to overprint with ink. Instead, spot ink should be used to directly overprint the same color on the offset press.

To overcome the offset offset printing press, flat sheet offset printing presses need to increase the added value of printing. Most flat offset offset printing presses today use an online coating unit to complete a thick and fine coating in one operation. In recent years, two glazing units have become popular, with two glazing units after the printing unit. The first glazing unit performs water-based glazing, enters the second glazing unit after drying, and then performs partial UV glazing. After UV curing, high-gloss printed matter can be obtained.

With the rapid development of high-tech offset printing machines, printing users have really shined, and the promising offset printing market is tempting. But don't blindly pursue the trend of high-tech offset presses, this may not win the market and success. Only those who grasp their product positioning and market pragmatism will appreciate the joy of success.

At the booth of the first "Guangyin Exhibition" German KBA company, a Performa74 four-color multi-color offset printing machine manufactured by KBA Czech subsidiary was exhibited. Whenever it is time to demonstrate the machine operation, it is always full of professional audience. Why does this small format offset press attract a large number of audiences? We sincerely invited Mr. Wang Lianbiao, General Manager of Sales of KBA China, to make a more in-depth interpretation of this. Through the free speech of President Wang and the reporter, readers may wish to learn more about this offset press, which is very popular among the industry ...

Reporter: What are the advantages of KBA Performa 74 offset press's technical performance and printing quality? What are the outstanding features compared with other types of offset presses of the same type?

Mr. Wang: KBA Performa74 is the latest high performance and cost-effective sheet-fed offset printing machine recently launched by KBA. Its main feature is that it has very good operation performance, high degree of automation, and can According to the needs of the product, it can be equipped with up to 6 color groups and optional devices such as online glazing drying and automatic flipping to meet the different requirements of customers to the greatest extent; it is characterized by the use of double-diameter impression cylinders currently widely recognized by the factory And the paper transfer cylinder, as well as advanced technologies such as high-level paper feed and take-up, suction belt conveying table, etc., make it have better adaptability of printing materials, expand the range of materials for printing, and the equipment is very simple to operate, The printing quality is also very stable. For example, in addition to the independent center console of the entire machine, the paper receiving area is also equipped with a full-range touch control screen with the same function, which greatly facilitates the control and operation of the equipment by the operator.

Reporter: Is the manufacturing quality of this offset press consistent with the quality of craftsmanship made in Germany?

Mr. Wang: Although this model is produced in KBA Czech subsidiary, the entire design and production process and quality management system are fully adopted by KBA's unified standards. In terms of price, compared with European equipment, we think that under the same configuration, our machine is still competitive in the domestic market.

Reporter: Based on your knowledge of KBA's offset presses and contacts with domestic users, which type of products and which types of printing plants are more suitable for printing?

Mr. Wang: I personally think that the current market demand for imported 4-fold offset printing presses is still relatively large, because this specification is particularly suitable for high-quality commercial printing, such as instruction manuals, labels, product samples, small packaging, etc., and domestic equipment may be Quality and efficiency can not fully meet such requirements. In fact, this type of machine is very suitable for some small and medium-sized printing plants, because the total investment of this machine is lower than that of medium-format equipment, and the capital pressure will be less; for some large and medium-sized printing companies, They can also serve as an effective supplement to a business and improve their product chain.

Reporter: Do users of this machine need to purchase other supporting facilities? How should the after-sales service of the machine and the supply of spare parts be guaranteed?

Mr. Wang: For the printing process, after purchasing the KBA Performa 74 offset press, there is no need to purchase some other supporting facilities; of course, in order to improve the quality and reliability of the entire product, some better pre-press and post-press processing are appropriately added The equipment is still worth considering.

With regard to after-sales service and spare parts supply, KBA already has a number of professionally trained engineering and technical personnel in China and has established a very complete service system. It can not only give customers the most timely response in terms of service speed. It can also provide the most timely spare parts supply through our extensive spare parts storehouse.

Reporter: Faced with the competition of many models of four-offset offset presses in China, in what way will KBA participate in market competition fairly?

Mr. Wang: In the face of the fierce competition in the current four-mark offset printing market, in addition to guaranteeing the quality of the product itself, I think that in order to gain a long-term position in such a market, the most important thing is to provide services to the customer. Do more work on it to let customers deepen their trust not only to the equipment itself but also to the company itself. For example, to help customers understand the latest technical information, solve technical training problems of personnel, etc., so that customers finally feel that they are not only buying equipment, but also the full service commitment of German KBA as a long-term partner.

Reporter: How is the promotion and sales of Performa 74 offset presses in China?

Mr. Wang: Prior to this, the main equipment promoted by KBA in China was folio or large-format offset printing equipment. The quadrilateral format was mainly used for special configuration of Rapida 74 for special fields such as card making and plastic. The configuration is relatively complicated and the price is relatively high, so the market is relatively small; and KBA ’s Performa74 has just been launched to the domestic market not long ago, and the production is mainly concentrated in southern China. Judging from the current situation, the user's response is very good, the machine is easy to operate, and the product quality is also quite stable. It is a device with outstanding cost performance, and after this period of observation and live demonstration at the printing exhibition, Performa 74 has clearly It has aroused great interest from many users, so we are quite optimistic about its market development potential.

Reporter: Can you provide some reference suggestions to the manufacturers who are interested in buying four-boot printing?

Mr. Wang: The most important thing for a manufacturer who is planning to buy a four-offset offset press is to choose equipment wisely according to the actual needs of its own enterprise and product structure and the amount of investment it can withstand. Not necessarily suitable for you, the configuration of the equipment should be selected according to the needs of the product, otherwise it may be a waste of investment.

We hope that Mr. Wang's one-time job can help the people in the industry a little more. I also hope that Performa 74 offset press can play its due role for the needs of Chinese printing companies.

Extraordinary Performa 74 four-color offset press

Performa 74 is suitable for the printing of traditional 52 × 74 cm format products. It can provide a variety of two-color to six-color offset press models, and an optional glazing unit is optional.

The printing unit has a solid structure, and the paper transmission is accurate and reliable

The design and manufacture of Performa 74 printing unit adopts the working principle of KBA's traditional double-diameter impression cylinder and paper transfer cylinder. The cylinder arrangement of the unit ensures that the printed paper is transferred only after the printing is completed. Even the largest size paper can be printed, which can minimize the number of paper transfers and the total curvature of the paper transmission line. Each printing unit is equipped with sensors to monitor paper transport. The gripper tooth pad coating on the embossing and paper transfer cylinder is roughened and durable for a long time, and the gripper teeth and dental discs can be replaced separately. Rollers on the plate cylinder and rubber cylinder ensure that the machine runs absolutely smoothly. All cylinders of the offset press are installed on frictionless roller bearings without movement. The main rotating knife is transmitted through the helical gear system without the need for a longitudinal drive shaft. At the same time, all the rolling surface parts are subjected to special fine processing. Through the paper guides under the paper feed line and the rough chrome roller cover on the transfer cylinder, the paper is transferred from one printing unit to the next printing unit without any balance. Produce jitter.

When using sensitive ink, just press a button on the touch screen control panel at the delivery end to separate the ink supply and dampening device. The control panel can also set the amount of dampening fluid calculation and start temporary large water supply operating.

The tilt of the water bucket roller can be adjusted, and there is no "off position" function on the device. When in this position, all the water rollers of the dampening device are out of contact. The standard Technotrans fountain solution preparation device includes a sprinkling sperm consumption monitoring function.

Ink supply device: It can meet the requirements of extremely accurate and complex printing quality. The single ink path supplies ink to the first plate-based ink roller to ensure rapid ink supply reaction. The device can immerse all four plate-retaining rollers and set whether they will perform axial series motion when they are running. The transmission system of the ink supply device is also composed of helical gears. The temperature control device of the ink supply device is provided as an option. When the temperature during long-run printing or the temperature of the workshop reaches a critical level, the temperature control device can keep the flow characteristics of the ink constant.

The standard configuration also includes an automatic ink roller cleaning system designed with 3 cleaning programs. The ink fountain roller is driven by an independent motor, and the speed can be automatically compensated according to the printing speed. The ceramic coating surface of the ink fountain roller has excellent wear resistance. The ink fountain is divided into 23 ink areas, and the width of each ink area is 32.5 mm. On the touch screen control panel or main console at the delivery end, the ink volume of each ink zone can be adjusted and set.

Fast, time-saving and labor-saving replacement of printing plates

Even if you manually change the printing plate, just press a button to put the printing plate in the loading and unloading position, and then place the printing plate on the positioning pin and manually clamp, the printing plate is automatically installed on the cylinder, and then the printing plate After the rear edge is clamped and tensioned, the plate installation is completed. It takes about 2 minutes for each printing press to change plates.

The semi-automatic plate-changing device (SAPC) can shorten the plate-changing time to 1 minute, and the device can also diagonally correct the registration of the printing plate. Diagonal adjustment of the printing plate can be achieved through the plate motor drive device.

The clamping method on the blanket roller is suitable for blankets with aluminum clips. Standard configuration includes a cloth blanket cleaning system.

Sunshine Zhongshan: a good partner for my small development

Investing in a four-color multi-color offset press is also a huge investment for most small and medium-sized printing companies. Everyone cares and worries about the price / performance ratio of the machine. With these questions, we drove to Zhongshan Sunshine Printing Co., Ltd. under the hot weather to explore the issues of concern for the users who are interested in investing in four-color multi-color offset printing machines. Manager Chen Zhihe of Sunshine Printing Co., Ltd. warmly received the reporters and explained in detail to the reporters the first experience in introducing the KBA Performa 74 offset press.

Reporter: After your company introduced KBA Performa 74 offset printing machine and put it into normal production, what business do you mainly undertake printing? What is the current operation situation?

Chen: We introduced the KBA PE 74 offset printing machine in early 2006, the purpose is to handle a variety of high-quality foreign hand-made bags. After more than a year of use, we feel that the machine has good adaptability, the printed product has uniform ink color, accurate registration, high efficiency, good dot reproduction, easy and flexible operation, and the offset press has been in full-load printing production. status. It was not until the introduction of the second KBA Rapida 105 Universal offset press in March 2007 that the production task of the PE 74 offset press was eased.

Note: PE 74 offset presses are manufactured by KBA's Czech subsidiary. Have you ever worried that the manufacturing quality and life of the machine are not as good as those made in Germany?

Chen: To be honest, there must be some worries, and it is very big. Because we are the first printing company to purchase KBA PE 74 offset presses in Zhongshan, Guangdong and even in China, this offset press was chosen to correct some of the prejudices of our surrounding printing colleagues. But when I learned that the machine was made in the Czech Republic, there was a huge contradiction in my mind, and I repeatedly asked KBA to give an explanation. In order to dispel my worries, Mr. Huang of KBA Company brought me a lot of information, detailing the history of the production of offset presses in the Czech factory and ensuring that the German company is solely responsible for the entire production monitoring. In fact, after the offset press arrived at the factory, its advanced and complete configuration made our masters feel that they had chosen the right one. Many of our colleagues said that there will be many problems in the operation of this offset press, but after practical use, the so-called problems are not self-defeating, and worrying about disappearing becomes more confident and more assured. Regardless of whether it is made in Germany or in the Czech Republic, I believe that the quality of KBA offset presses is the same, and I will choose KBA offset presses in the future.

Reporter: In your opinion, what are the standards for evaluating the quality of printing quality? With reference to these standards, how do you evaluate the quality of KBA Performa 74 offset printing presses? How satisfied is the customer satisfaction with the products printed by this machine?

Chen: In addition to the machine quality, the printing quality is also closely related to the workshop environment and materials such as inks, blankets, plates, paper, and water. Before we used this offset printing machine, we selected materials strictly in accordance with KBA's requirements, because good machines also need to have suitable materials to cooperate in order to exert the machine's good performance. This is also the minimum standard that I require prints to meet. As for the printing quality of the PE 74 offset press, the most convincing is my customer. For example, when I learned that the American m & m company commissioned a Japanese agency to print a batch of hand bags in Guangdong, I asked this company to consider letting us accept this order, but the company learned that we were a small printing plant. , Only gave one model we tried to model. After 3 days, we sent over 10 models of handbags of different sizes printed on KBA offset presses. On the day of the selection, m & m also sent representatives to the scene. A total of 5 to 6 large-scale printing plants sent samples to participate in the election, but we are small. After careful selection by m & m representatives, our samples best meet their requirements. In this way, we immediately received this order for more than 500,000 hand bags. This also illustrates my customer's recognition of the printing quality of KBA's PE 74 offset press.

记:提高高宝Performa 74胶印机的印刷质量是否需要付出额外的代价?比如更长的印前准备时间,更多的印刷耗材,或者要有更高文化的操作人员等。

陈:由于胶印机具有很高的自动化程度,从而大大节省了印前准备时间,所以没有付出任何额外的代价。此外,我们还尽可能选用品质好、信誉高的普通印材,避免因印材问题影响印制质量。还有我们操作胶印机的机长,是3年前的复退军人,他通过自身的努力钻研和拜师学艺,现在已经能完全熟练操控这台胶印机。给我感受最大的是选好操作人员也是一个很重要的因素,有优质的机器加上勤奋好学的操作人员,才会印制出更好的产品。

记:你们今后打算如何进一步提高胶印机的利用率,以最大限度发挥它的效能?

陈:我们已确定这台PE 74胶印机今后主要用于承印化妆品包装盒活件,这是我们新的利润增长点,实际应用证明该机印刷厚卡纸品质也很不错,用它印刷包装盒定能为我们赚取更多利润,发挥更大的效能。

采访结束了,我们饶有兴趣参观了工厂,看到工厂从原来一台进口二手四色胶印机做起,经发展增购了一台全新四开四色胶印机,现又再增加一台全新中幅面四色胶印机,目前还在计划增加一台全新超大幅面多色胶印机,这说明了经过这些年的发展,中山阳光印刷有限公司已经从一家小型企业向中型企业发展,高宝Performa 74胶印机在其发展的道路上起到了功不可没的作用。 [next]

上海明达:把握机遇,精选设备,必有回报

在广东省东莞举办的首届“广印展”上,德国高宝公司展示出的Performa 74四开多色胶印机,吸引了众多印刷界专业来宾前来观摩演示。这台小幅面胶印机已被上海明达印务有限公司相中,并在展会上签下购买合同。为了追寻用产对Performa 74胶印机首台落户华东地区印刷厂的反响,我们专程飞赴上海约请明达印务有限公司的当家人季明为,与业界同行分享这台小幅面、低投资、快增值的四开多色胶印机给工厂带来的机遇与回报。

明达公司位于上海市虹口区,厂房面积约2000平方米,员工50人,是一间名符其实的小型民营企业,主要从事印刷产品说明书,宣传小册,广告样张。总经理季明为在印刷行业已有30多个年头,过去主要担负印刷机械的维修保养工作,因而对国内外一些名牌印刷机的构造原理,机械的技术性能都相当熟悉了解。季总对我们坦言,小厂要生存发展,投资先进设备势在必行,对小厂来说,购买小幅面多色胶印机也是一笔不菲的投资。因而,在选型前必须对一些国内外名牌小幅面胶印机进行深入的考察和了解,才能作出最终的选择。

其实“明达”人对高宝胶印机的认识与了解并不深,原因是高宝胶印机进入中国市场比较晚。他们是通过同行知道高宝胶印机,当了解到德国高宝公司有着悠久的胶印机生产制造历史后,他们认定高宝胶印机的质量水准不会差。在高宝公司销售人员的引领下,他们到高宝胶印机用产工厂实地考察,对胶印机的印刷品质和先进技术性能等进行评估与验证,决定购买高宝胶印机,应该说是他们。要买就买最好的,要买就买最先进的。自主选择理念作出的决定。熟悉印刷机械的季总如是这样认为的:“我选中高宝Performa 74胶印机主要有两个方面,一是自动化控制程度高,配有两台电脑控制,二是采用了先进的制造工艺。通常的胶印机传动齿轮系都是油浴式润滑,而这台胶印机采用油脂式润滑,杜绝了油泥污染,保持了机台和车间的整洁。如果选用齿轮材质不好,是不可能达到这样的工艺水准。只有制造技术水平很高的胶印机,才能实现这种制造工艺。。

高宝Grafitec公司没有辜负明达公司的期望,Performa 74小幅面胶印机上集中了许多大、中幅面胶印机才具备的先进自动化控制功能,而且部分技术性能处于世界领先地位。高宝公司还充分考虑到国内中、小型印刷企业的投资承受能力,合理制定销售价格,这也是明达公司选择Performa 74胶印机一个很重要的因素,季总真诚地对我们说:“这台高宝胶印机的价格还算比较合理,完全没有超出我们的投资预算,为了使我们适应市场竞争,他们还主动在胶印机上增加了一些配置,使设备更力口完善配套。从洽谈购买到胶印机安装投产,我们与高宝公司彼此合作很愉快。尤其在信诺方面一就是一,二就是二,不会打折扣。胶印机投产2个多月下来,经过我们的测算,预计的生产目标还是达到了,新胶印机的运转正常,即便碰到一些小问题,高宝公司的工程人员也能及时赶到现场给予解决。”

的确,高宝胶印机加上高宝承诺与服务,给明达公司带来了实实在在的好处与效益,购买高宝胶印机后,明达公司在上海同行的身价和地位都上了一个台阶。用上海人的方言来说:在上海能买到“强门货”就是一种荣耀,客户也会放心把生意交给你。以往明达公司每天顶多印20套版左右的短版活件,高宝胶印机让他们一天最多可印41套版的短版活件,印量接近翻了一番。随着承印业务量增大,印刷工价及成本也跟着降低,无形增强了企业在市场上的竞争能力。走进明达公司的印刷车间,随意翻开他们承印的产品,映现我们眼中的印刷品是版面整洁干净,墨色厚实均匀,网点还原清晰,套印准确,给人留下一种惬意的感觉。最后我们问季总:“你的客户对工厂现时的印刷品质满意吗?有何评价?”季总脱口回答说:“满意,十分满意!他们对我们承印的产品更加放心,更有信心”。

初尝引进小幅面多色胶印机带来的回报,季总表示:两年内我们必定引进中幅面多色胶印机,把现时约占20%的发外中幅面印刷活件揽回来再加以发展扩大,届时我们还会选择高宝胶印机。 [next]

月亮集团:打造属于自己的广阔天地

月亮贺卡公司于20世纪60年代在香港成立,是东南亚技术最先进、生产最具规模的贺卡生产、销售重要基地。该公司每年生产超过数千个款式,包括贺卡、手挽袋、礼品盒、纸文具和其它印刷纸品,年生产纸重达25 000公吨以上。

月亮贺卡公司1989年在广东省番禺市投资建立第一家工厂,取名月亮贺卡(番禺)有限公司,专业生产各类贺卡、手挽袋及礼品盒等产品。自1997年以来,月亮公司共引进了5台高宝中幅面胶印机(1台利必达104和4台利必达105四色至六色胶印机)。

2004年12月,月亮贺卡公司在广东省英德市购地420 000平方米,新建工厂月亮(英德)纸品有限公司,3台不同幅面的高宝单张纸胶印机组成了工厂设备配置的一部分。

日前,记者有幸采访了月亮(英德)纸品有限公司区皓晖先生,请他畅谈了属子月亮集团的广阔天地。

记者:月亮(英德)公司生产的产品涵盖贺卡、手提袋、礼物纸、记事簿等远销世界各地的文化用品,作为一家以“高标准、高规格、高起点”为原则的公司,对设备提出了哪些要求?或者说在选择设备时会更注重哪些方面的考虑?

区先生:就选择设备的要求而言,我们认为最重要的是可靠性,产品质量以及速度三大重点。高可靠性保障了公司的生产效能,有效掌握交货期,对满足客户需求起着关键作用。此外,我们的客户均为国外知名品牌,对产品质量的要求都很高,要生产出高质量的产品当然需要依靠高质量的机器,这样才能符合本公司对客产的承诺。最后,机器的高运转速度可增强公司的生产力,能在更短时间内生产合格的产品,缩短交货期,直接扩大公司的接单能力。

记者:请问,公司什么时候开始与高宝公司合作?基于什么原因选择高宝公司为合作伙伴?投巨资引进3台不同幅面设备的决策又是源于什么?

区生:我们公司早在1997年就向高宝公司购买了第7台胶印机。当初是月亮集团董事长区卓基先生在一家国外知名印刷同行的工厂里认识到高宝的设备。区先生认为,高宝的设备能得到这家品牌同行的青睐,机器的各方面性能一定可靠。再加上高宝公司贵为世界三大印刷顶尖胶印机制造商,因此对其产品充满信心。

正因为公司多年来使用莴宝设备都十分满意,虽然以前对大、小两种幅面的胶印机还没有实践经验,但还是毅然引进了高宝利必达142及新的Performa 74胶印机。

记者:你能否谈谈高宝胶印机的质量如何?在售后服务方面,高宝公司为贵公司提供了哪些方面的支持,比如人员培训、技术支援等。

区生:高宝Performa 74保持了德国机器的一贯风格,精密、可靠、耐用。虽然Performa 74贵为高宝公司的新产品,但到目前为止售后维修服务是绝对能信任的。

除了机器的一流水平外,高宝还提供完善的维修服务及增值课程。英德新公司地处新开发区,离广州和东莞都比较远,但高宝公司的服务贯彻始终,在需要时,工程师和机器零件也能像在番禺工厂一样及时到达。此外,高宝正提供越来越多的增值培训课程,在印刷科技日新月异之际及薪火相传的学徒制环境下对帮助培养业界新一代做出巨大贡献。

记者:通过实际运转,3台高宝印刷机为公司带来了哪些效益,能否举实例说明一下?

区生:由于客产的产品设计越来越复杂,订单数量落差很大,所以公司认为非常有必要引进不同幅面的胶印机以增加生产的灵活性。引进两款新机后,公司在耗材及效率上都有所改进。现在我们可在利必达142上印大幅面印刷品如手挽袋及各项产品数量,又可以在更大的幅面上拼上贺卡等较小型印刷品,一改从前只能用中幅印刷机带来再拼板及其它后工序的种种不便。而且Performa 74印刷机在用于印刷小活件时有了双重效益。相对于中幅印刷,纸张、油墨、版材都比前者节省,机长校版时间也缩短了,可以方便应付种类多但数量少的活件。

记者:你对公司未来的发展,以及与高宝公司的合作还有哪些设想?

区生:我们与高宝公司的长期合作关系是非常紧密。高宝是本公司最能信赖的合作伙伴之一,日后公司扩大规模,高宝胶印机也一定是我们的首选。

记者:在此,我们祝贺月亮集团越做越强,在属于自己的广阔天地里驰骋自如。 [next]
