Increase productivity
Many people instinctively think of improving productivity first and foremost in terms of printing speed. Especially those products that use mass production, such as textbooks and folding cartons. For countries with a large population and higher demands on printed products, the highest production speed is still very important. With a top speed of 17,000 per hour, the Roland 700 HiPrint press is one of the fastest sheetfed offset presses available. However, most sheetfed offset presses in the world have short-lived jobs. In Europe, 80% of the prints in the 700mm×1000mm format are between 5,000 and 10,000 prints, and this number is still declining. The first consideration for these companies when investing in equipment purchases is to save boot preparation time, and HiPrint presses equipped with a quick changeover system are ideal for these situations. Up to 10 different individual and combined solutions save valuable every minute in the various parts of the press (from the feeder to the printing and coating unit until the delivery unit). The Roland 700 HiPrint printer can save up to 40% on startup time compared to the value calculated from the cost and performance of the general presses provided by the German print media industry consortium.
One of the ways to improve production efficiency in the past was double-sided printing. In the 700mm×1000mm format models, 30% of them are now double-sided printers. This trend has also led to the development of multi-machine duplex printers such as eight-color, ten-color and twelve-color printing machines. The double-sided printing only needs one paper feed to complete the production, that is, only one power-on preparation, one cleaning and one color matching process are required, which saves time. The Roland 700 HiPrint Press achieves the best double-sided printing quality with its double-page paper inverting system (InlinePerfector on-line double-sided printing device) and special optiprint cylinder sleeve (OptiPrint). The maximum printing speed has been increased to 13,000. India/hour. Another way to increase production efficiency is to connect a web cut sheet (Roland Inline Sheeter) to a printing press (especially a multi-colored perfecting press). A high-performance component of the HiPrint press. For those standardized production methods that do not frequently change the type of substrate, format, product, color combination, and quality requirements, multi-colored double-sided printing presses and cut sheet paper equipment have a very good effect. Here, Roland InlineSheeter not only contributes to saving paper costs, but also increases the average output, especially for those printing metal foils and thin paper (such as label printing plants).
Increase product value
How can the quality of printed matter be significantly improved? The first method is quite simple, that is, the quality of offset printing. This involves selecting screening technology, color separation procedures, and color systems. Numerous different color systems have recently appeared on the market, such as high-color inks, special inks and mixed inks, and six- or seven-color systems. By vividly reproducing colors and high-intensity colors, the color space that can be copied by a sheet-fed offset press can be expanded, and consumers' perception of images can be improved. The HiPrint press can be configured to twelve printing units to meet any requirement.
In addition, the substrates are constantly changing, either getting lighter and thinner, or getting thicker and stiffer. Substrates place higher demands on printing presses. In the thickest case, a sheet-fed offset press should be able to print a new type of micro-wafer. The Roland 700 HiPrint Press features a double-diameter cylinder, a load-bearing base and side wall construction, and a dual drive system that can print the widest range of substrates, from the thinnest paper to the stiff, thick cardboard.
Currently, glazing has become a highly industrialized process, and today there has been a wide range of water-based varnishes or UV varnishes that can be coated and dried on-press, wet-on-wet, glazing once or twice Gloss, and can be applied before the printer receives the paper or before the start of printing or during the printing process, without lowering the speed of the press. HiPrint's InlineCoater on-line glazing unit, DoubleCoater double-coating unit, Ultima or on-line UV unit offer a complete industrial-grade, high-performance solution for all users. UV printing and glazing have taken another step toward increasing the value of products.
There is another way to increase the value of the product, that is metal coating, which has always been a form of improving the quality of printed materials. For decades, hot stamping and hot stamping according to an off-line process have gradually transitioned to on-line processing. The cost-effectiveness is firstly achieved through the use of offset inks as medium, followed by dispersion and metalure. Extremely bright) coating. Since the drupa exhibition in 2004, a new cold foil metallization process has emerged. The Roland InlineFoiler Prindor is also an option for HiPrint presses. It is an on-line process that eliminates the need to reduce the speed of the press and uses the lower-priced offset printing plate as the image carrier. Metal foils are easy to overprint, producing a variety of attractive metallic shades.
