In the late 1970s and early 1980s, China imported more than 10 high-quality satellite-type flexographic printing presses from Italy, Germany, and the United States. However, due to the inability of ink, plate-making, raw materials and other supporting facilities and operating technologies, In particular, the quality of plate-making cannot keep up with the fact that some flexographic printing presses have been devastated and some have not been printed. Everyone has doubts about flexographic printing, and flexographic printing has stagnated in the past 10 years.
Later, the leaders of some printing factories went abroad to investigate and found that foreign flexographic printing presses were used very well. With the promotion of domestic media and the promotion of foreign flexo printer manufacturers, flexo printing has gradually recovered in China. However, due to the fact that the original problem has not been completely resolved, while 3/5 flexo printing equipment has achieved relatively good economic benefits, one-fifth of the equipment is still idle or semi-idle.
Volatility continued until 1995, when the development of flexographic printing became stable. At present, China has more than 400 unit-type and satellite-type flexo presses.
In short, the development of domestic flexographic printing has experienced twists and turns. In addition, due to the late start, people still maintain a wait-and-see attitude toward flexo printing. Especially after lithography and gravure printing have occupied a considerable share of the domestic market, it will take time for Flexo to seek a place.
The advantage does not play a roadblock at the front end
Flexible printing, offset printing, gravure printing and screen printing have their own advantages and disadvantages. Giving full play to the specialities of flexo printing and paying attention to overcoming the shortcomings of flexographic printing can enable it to develop quickly and smoothly. However, it is understood that everyone agrees that the advantages of flexo printing in China have not been fully realized, and the lack of design links has hindered the market acceptance and recognition of flexographic technology.
Shanghai Ao Keli Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. General Manager Gui Yu: Product positioning is very important. When designing, we must avoid some defects in flexo printing and give full play to the flexographic features so that the printed products are attractive. Holding some exhibitions and judging by flexographic products can play a positive guiding role.
Shi Jianping, development manager and deputy chief engineer of the technical department of Shanghai Ziguang Machinery Co., Ltd.: Since 1996, the rapid development of flexo printing has benefited greatly from the promotion of foreign companies such as McDonald's, KFC, Xian Jansen, and Tianjin. Shi Ke, Geely and so on. Developed countries like the United States attach great importance to environmental protection. Therefore, many of their products must use flexographic printing. Even companies established in China are not allowed to use other printing methods instead of flexo. However, for domestic companies in China, because the entire environment is more important to the environment than the developed countries, the advantages of flexo printing and environmental protection do not give full play to the space. In order to change this situation, the salesman of the printing factory must be very familiar with flexo printing, and then go to guide and persuade customers to use flexo.
In addition, the design of many flexographic products in China is not suitable for flexo printing. In order to achieve true development, flexo printing should not be limited to unilateral communication with printing plants. Rather, it should organize the business units of some printing companies and tell them what characteristics are in flexo printing. What can flexo printing do? India's business will gradually increase.
The lack of talent is also an important reason to hinder the development of flexo printing. Not only enterprises, but also colleges and universities do not attach importance to the training of flexo talent. In this regard, there are two methods worth learning: First, Flexo Machinery Factory transport talent for packaging and printing plants, such as Xi'an black cattle.
