The world printing machinery since the 1980 s has made great development. For more than twenty years, the development of the printing machine through three stages.
The first stage is in the early 1980 s to 90 s, the stage is the offset printing process development of the golden age, the world within the scope of the offset printing machinery manufacturers, a vast number of ii. The famous are: Germany Heidelberg, man Roland, global group, Miller (Miller), the former east Germany in prudhoe tower (Planeta), wave lu graves (Polygraph), Japanese komori, offshore field, QiuShan, mitsubishi heavy industries, Sweden's Solna (Solna), Italian ohm Sally (OMSCA), nebbiolo (Nebiolo), the United States of Harris (Harris), etc. This period of sheet-fed offset press maximum printing speed for 10000 print/hour. A four color printing machine printing before the preset adjustment preparation time is generally 2 hours. Press automatic control mainly focus on automatic "paper, automatic paper receiver, automatic cleaning, print the automatic detection and ink quantity automatic adjustment and alignment remote control, etc. This period in addition to monochrome, double color conversion, each sheet-fed offset press manufacturer almost all also has four color machine manufacturing capacity, most manufacturers can make paper turnover mechanism, double-sided printing.
The second stage is in the early 1990 s to at the end of the twentieth century. In the 1990 s, marked with sheet-fed offset press, international printing machinery design and manufacture level to take a giant step forward. German Heidelberg company, man Roland company, global group company and Japanese komori company, introduced a new generation of representative models respectively. Compared with the first stage of the model, a new generation of models to further improve the speed, from 10000 up to 15000 hours print/print/hour, prepress preset adjustment time from the first stage of the 2 hours or so greatly shorten the for 15 minutes. The machine automation level and production efficiency is greatly improved.
In the 21st century printing machinery in the third stage of development. At present, some of the sheet-fed offset press machine can reach 17000-18000 print/hour, but manufacturers not to pursue the biggest printing printing speed increase, but through the application of information technology to further reduce the printing preparation time and replace live a time pursuing higher production efficiency.
In printing machinery automation, network, production integration, digital workflow, and management information system (MIS) links technology as the focus of development. Heidelberg CP2000 of automatic control system in addition to the whole machine from to paper, paper feed and guide paper, ink, water transport, changing the version, alignment, cleaning, drying, glazing coating, spray powder and the paper each work link preset, regulation and fault diagnosis, but also has realized all printing enterprise production process network, online transmission before printing image processing data (CIP3 / PPF or CIP4 / JDF data), and other functions. Man Roland company PECOM system, komori company DoNet system and global group company's OPERA system also has similar function. In the new century, most of the offset printing machine manufacturers have developed corresponding DI digital printing machine.
Such as small's Lithrone S40D printer (B1 level), the optimal than the company's 3404 di printer, global group company's 74 karat model, Heidelberg's SM74DI printer (B2 format) and Heidelberg's fifth generation fast the model - QMDI46-4 pro type machine (B3 format), etc. In addition, in order to meet the people to the demand of high-grade color prints, and color group even ten color group of multicolor group double-sided printing, additional on-line post-press processing function become all kinds of sheet-fed offset press (including small offset press, DI direct platemaking machines as well as large offset press) development trends, and technology more and more mature gradually, this type printing machine has begun to occupy originally belong to web press part of the market.
According to the European printing and paper processing machinery manufacturers association federation (EUMAPRINT) statistics show that because of the influence of global economic recession, Germany, France, the United States, Italy, Switzerland, seven printing machinery and equipment sales in 2002 than in 2001, down 13.08%. From the economic boom index analysis, Europe and the United States and China, Russia, Japan and other 11 countries, only China, Russia is rising, the rest are falling, among them, the German sales of about $6.8 billion more than in 2001, down 12%; The United States sales of about $2.27 billion, more than 2001 fell 16%; British sales volume in 2002 than in 2001 dropped by 24%, about $1.064 billion, Italian declined by 8%, which is about $763 million.
And in 2001 the annual printing machinery and equipment the top five countries respectively is: Germany, Japan, us $7.73 billion to $3.918 billion, $2.702 billion the United States, Britain, Italy $1.4 billion $829 million. 2001 printing machinery equipment export the top five countries are: Germany $6.325 billion, Japan, the United States $1.578 billion to $1.246 billion, $1.06 billion, Italy Britain's 940 million dollars. 2001 years before printing machinery and equipment import six respectively is: us $2.2 billion, China $1.3 billion, Germany, Italy, $1.228 billion, $922 million British $920 million, Japan 798 million dollars. In 2002, the Chinese market a printing machinery, printing machinery and equipment sales rose 13.8% to become the world's printing and printing equipment manufacturers of a place of strategic importance.
