1 Overview of Printing Processes" 1!
2
3 What is a printing process?" A reproduction of quantities of images that can be seen or perceived visually! Plate or plateless printing systems! Each end use requirement is different! o All printed products are unique in some fashion! o It may be how they look, feel, or function!! 3!
4 We ve come a long way" From the very early days when books were produced by handwriting copies To today high quality, high speed multicolor reproductions utilizing high speed offset printing presses 4!
5 Printing processes" The major ink-based printing processes include:! o Relief: Letterpress & Flexography print areas above the non-print areas! o Intaglio: Gravure & Engraving print areas below the non-print areas! o Porous: Screen printing print areas are on fine mesh screens! o Planographic: Lithography print and non-print areas are on the same surface.!! 5!
6 Relief process - Letterpress" o The first printing process! o Pi Sheng invents moveable type in China about A.D using clay blocks! o Johannes Gutenberg invents moveable type in Germany in 1452 using metal! 6!
7 Relief process: Letterpress " A raised surface takes ink; image transfers directly to paper! Oldest of the major processes and is relatively obsolete! Ink Plate 7!
8 Letterpress" Advantages and disadvantages! o There really are no advantages today, except perhaps aesthetically! o A major disadvantage is cumbersome image carrier preparation! o Hard to proofread in carrier! 8!
9 Relief process: Flexography" Flexography is used primarily in the packaging industry! Flexography is a relief process that uses a flexible rubber or plastic plate.! 9!
10 The flexographic process" A form of letterpress (relief) using flexible rubber/plastic plate! Image areas that receive ink are raised above the nonimage area! Ink comes into direct contact with substrate! Ink Flexo plate 10!
11 Flexography" Advantages and disadvantages! o Flexo s strengths include the ability to print on a diverse range of substrates, including non-absorbent substrates like foils and plastics, and on irregular surfaces! o Disadvantages include a longer plate preparation time and relatively slow presses when compared to other print processes! 11!
12
13 Intaglio process: Gravure" The gravure process is used to print U.S. currency! 13!
14 Gravure" Image areas are etched (or carved) below the surface!! Relies on the use of engraved cylinders to transfer ink to paper! 14!
15 The gravure process" Ink is picked up in cells on surface of metal cylinder! Excess ink is removed with doctor blade! The ink remaining in the cells is transferred to the substrate! Ink in cells doctor blade Surface of gravure cylinder 15!
16 Gravure" Advantages and disadvantages! o Consistent process that can reproduce very fine details! o But the high cost of engraving cylinders limits its use to long runs! Gravure printing press 16!
17 Porous: Screen printing" Used for printing such items as T-shirts, sheets, and other fabrics, as well as glasses, mugs, wallcoverings, linoleum, and computer circuit boards! 17!
18 Screen printing" A squeegee forces ink through a porous mesh or screen! The screen is covered by a stencil that blocks nonimage areas! Image area (where ink passes through) Screen Squeegee Substrate 18!
19 The basics of screen printing" Film positive Light-sensitive emulsion Frame with screen Squeegee Emulsion attached to screen with stencil image Printed product 19!
20 Automatic screen printer" Ink is moved across the screen on the flood stroke...!...then pushed through the screen with a squeegee on the print stroke 20!
21 Screen printing" Advantages and disadvantages! o Ability to print on almost any substrate, including threedimensional surfaces! o Very thick ink film, allowing for colorful, highly durable products! o Cost effective, even with low quantities! o However, very fine lines and small dots are difficult to reproduce, and the production speed is slow! 21!
22 Planographic: Offset Lithography" Lithography is popular primarily in the commercial printing industry! o Printed products include magazines, books, brochures, annual reports, and newsletters! 22!
23 Lithography" The lithographic process is based on the principle that ink and water do not readily mix! o The image area is oleophilic (ink-loving)! o The nonimge area is hydrophilic (water-loving)! The surface of the plate is planographic! o The image area is no higher or lower than the nonimage area! 23!
24 Printing press units" Printing just one color of ink with an offset press requires ink, water, plate, blanket, and impression cylinders! o This collection of items is called a press unit! A press unit 24!
25 How it works" A plate is processed with the image. One plate is needed for each color. The plate is wrapped around the cylinder of a printing press! 25!
26 How it works" The nonimage area of the plate is dampened and the image area of the plate in inked! The image (right reading) is offset to the blanket (wrong reading) and then offset to the paper (right reading)! Plate Cylinder Blanket Cylinder Impression Cylinder C Paper 26!
27 How it works" The nonimage area of the plate is dampened and the image area of the plate in inked! The image (right reading) is offset to the blanket (wrong reading) and then offset to the paper (right reading)! Plate Cylinder Blanket Cylinder Impression Cylinder C C Paper 27!
28 How it works" The nonimage area of the plate is dampened and the image area of the plate in inked! The image (right reading) is offset to the blanket (wrong reading) and then offset to the paper (right reading)! Plate Cylinder Blanket Cylinder Impression Cylinder C C C Paper 28!
29 Lithography" Advantages of lithography include:! o Cost-effective for large quantities! o Ability to print on a variety of substrates! Disadvantages include:! o Dealing with ink-water balance on press can be difficult! o Capital investment! 29!
30
31 Non-impact and digital" A number of digital printing processes have emerged in recent years inkjet printing and xerography, among others! Referred to as nonimpact printing because no force of contact is required to transfer the image to the substrate! 31!
32 Non-impact and digital" Commonly used for short-run jobs! Sometimes referred to as on-demand since jobs can be printed as needed! Common products:!! o Books, fliers, newsletters, color proofs, banners, labels, and signs! 32!
33 How it works" Selenium drum Positive charge Negative charge Toner particles(negative charge) 33!
34 Non-impact and digital" Advantages! o Short notice! o Quick turnaround! o Short, economical production! o Variable/personalized content! Disadvantages! o Size limitations, 11 x17 on many devices! o Toner and not ink! 34!
35
36 Print merging with technology QR codes o Scan for additional information o Redirects to website Augmented Reality o View a physical environment with computergenerated graphics, including video and sound. o Simple use: 1 st down markers during football games o Can use smart phones and tablets, with or without print 36!
37
38 In conclusion..." There s a place for each printing process in today s market! The diversity of printed products in our world necessitates the existence of all the printing processes available to us! Print and technology blend for unlimited experiences! 38!
