Overview of European Prepress Technology

Sheet-fed offset printing manufacturers use pre-press technology

Printing companies in Europe are slow to develop, some manufacturers use their own e-commerce solutions, while others share a system. Content management is done by the publishing company, while other printing companies use data image and text management systems. CTP is no longer a question of conditions, but a question of time. Printing companies that view CTP as an important step will invest in improving workflow management. More printing companies are implementing color management.

The adoption of prepress technology varies from country to country, and the main trends vary from country to country.

About 80% of the printing plates in Germany are made using CTP.

About 18% of the printing plates of the UK sheet-fed printers are made with CTP.

The UK also uses the Internet and e-commerce, using digital workflow, CIP3 and direct imaging printing presses.

About 20% of printing companies in Italy have a prepress workshop and skilled staff fully equipped with modern desktop publishing systems.

The trend shows that due to the low investment and the existing skilled staff, the prepress technology used by printing manufacturers is increasing. Many small printing companies have integrated nearby replication companies that are experiencing recession, so that the process of acquiring prepress technical processing capabilities becomes easier.

Because the file format being used is standard TIFF / IF or PDF, and due to the existing pre-launch software verification or PDF certification process, workflow automation is progressing steadily, although it is progressing slowly. CreoScitex and AGFA are the companies that install the most prepress equipment. Some well-known printing groups have installed CIP3 data transmission system and Manroland PECOM workflow automation system.

The situation in France is similar to that in Italy, where 35% of most companies are engaged in pre-press business, and they also use a 4-Kt size CTP.

Unexpectedly in Spain, many large Spanish companies decided to continue to subcontract this business after investing a lot of money in pre-press. Many companies are using digital workflows, startup software, digital photography, and file formats and text languages ​​such as PDF and XML.

The development trend of medium-sized companies is most obvious: using pre-press technology, 80% have some pre-press equipment. Most of the almost 200 existing CTP equipment in Spain are installed in medium-sized companies.

About 45% of small companies tried to have some kind of desktop publishing system, and the output was mainly image imagesetters. They began to discover the advantages of CTP, but still subcontracted the business to the service provider. A few service providers are willing to set up CTP production workshops in printing factories, and the management is implemented by the service providers. It is a smart practice to combine skilled staff with the best synergy.

Most printing houses in the Netherlands have some prepress equipment, mainly digital prepress equipment. With the advent of desktop publishing and low equipment costs, printing companies have invested in this technology and personnel because they feel that this will make them more flexible and improve their corporate image.

Investing in large format image imagesetters and CTP systems needs to be close to the prepress processing capacity of the printing shop. The fully digital workflow also requires experienced operators. Not all printing companies have achieved success in achieving professional prepress technical conditions. The investment required to achieve CTP is simply too large for small operators. Small companies lacking relevant knowledge and capital are trying to share pre-press technical equipment through mergers and cooperation or joint ownership. They believe that internal pre-press processing is the key to digital printing. They also use remote proofing and various file formats.

Web offset manufacturers use prepress technology

Almost all web printing manufacturers have pre-press processing workshops equipped with CTP equipment. The focus now is to improve the color effect with the help of the configuration file of the printing press, and increase the productivity with the help of prepress technology. The trend towards color management is stronger than ever.

Although digital transmission (telephone lines or physical media) is growing at a rate of about 35%, the main imaging method is still film, 25% is produced by printing manufacturers, and 35% is provided by customers. The film used is usually positive type, about 8% is negative type.

In short, the application of CTP was 7% growth in 2000, and is currently 32%. Strangely, about 3.2% of the printing plates are still recycled due to scrap.

E-commerce has developed slowly among web offset manufacturers. They also use digital photography and advanced tools to generate high-resolution images.

The latest trend is to use the pre-press process in the unit to control the workflow. PDF-based workflow is being used by more and more printing companies.

European Prepress Company

GAIN conducted a survey at the end of 2002 to assess the activity level of European prepress companies in 2002 compared to the previous year. For pre-press processing companies, 30% of the companies did not change from 2001 to 2002, but found that 62% of the companies had worse conditions, and another 8% felt worse. No company feels that the conditions are good. Obviously, pre-press technology is being adopted and incorporated into the printing factory's own workshop, and a few manufacturers purchase pre-press processing services from outside.
