Analysis of the development of inkjet digital printing machine in the world
June 02, 2022
[ppzhan Abstract] With the development of technology, the inkjet digital printing machine has broken through the bottleneck of digital printing technology, realizing a true printing, no plate making, full color image once completed. At the same time, its use range is also wider and wider, more and more needed by the market. According to foreign research reports, from 2009 to 2014, the annual compound growth rate of global textile digital printing machines can reach 23.1%.
The inkjet digital printing machine has broken through the bottleneck of digital printing technology, realizing a true printing, no plate making, full color image once completed. The extremely low printing cost and high-quality printing effect are more economical and convenient than the traditional printing system. The system investment, the digital operation mode and the limited space occupation make the system have greater market prospects. It is a good complement to traditional printing and is a replacement for traditional printing presses.
The inkjet digital printing machine has very little investment, extremely low printing cost, optional printing size, high printing quality, small footprint, low operator and low running cost. The thickness of the printing material is highly selective and has a large investment. Advantage. Coupled with professional digital printing ink, it can achieve color saturation, wide color gamut, and good transition, far exceeding the traditional printing effect. Compared with expensive digital fast printing machines abroad, it has less investment and quick results.
The figures show that when printing with traditional printing equipment, about 30% of the dye can't be combined with the fiber and washed away when it is washed, and the digital printing process uses the direct ink injection process. The dye usage is only 40. About 5% of the ink is washed away during post-treatment, resulting in only 1/15-1/25 of the conventional printing process. It is also the advantage of digital printing machine that is convenient, fast and environmentally friendly. The demand for digital printing by printing and dyeing enterprises has also increased dramatically year by year.
In the case that most printing and dyeing enterprises are under tremendous pressure to save energy and reduce emissions, the advantages of digital printing are beginning to emerge. The inkjet digital printing machine has broken through the bottleneck of digital printing technology, realizing a true printing, no plate making, full color image once completed.
At present, some traditional printing factories in the United States have adopted digital inkjet printing as the leading direction for their products and market development. Some companies that did not engage in the printing industry have begun to expand the application range of digital inkjet printing. In addition to textile proofing, small batch production, and limited production, the products of these companies have expanded to other aspects.
Digital inkjet printing saves time and cost compared to traditional print proofing, so most companies buy digital inkjet printers for proofing. In recent years, some companies that have completely used digital inkjet printing machines have appeared one after another. In particular, some new silk printing companies have adopted digital inkjet printing machines as the printing equipment. In addition, some design companies and hospitals The school also uses inkjet printers for design patterns and teaching. According to preliminary understanding, at present, China's digital inkjet printing market segment is roughly 70% for proofing, 20% for mass production, and 10% for design and research teaching.
It can be seen that digital printing equipment is currently undergoing a process of transition from sporadic production to agglomeration and industrialization. At present, more than 90% of the European printing industry has adopted digital printing proofing to keep the environment clean while achieving rapid reaction production. According to relevant analysts, the market share of digital printing in Europe is so high that European textile companies are concerned with the design of textile products. The design drawings provided by European designers can often be directly applied to digital printing equipment systems, which is convenient for designers. Understanding the proofing effect and proposing amendments also objectively promoted the improvement of the pattern design level and the digital printing into the industrialization.
According to statistics, in 2011, the number of digital inkjet printing machines of various models in China was about 700, which is equivalent to 3.3 times in 2008. In 2011, the national digital inkjet printing volume was 140 million meters, accounting for 0.86% of the total printing volume. Compared with the national digital inkjet printing volume of 0.4 billion meters in 2008, accounting for 0.33% of the total printing volume, there is a larger Variety.
It can also be seen from the statistics that the proportion of digital inkjet printing fabrics in China's textile printing industry is very small, accounting for less than 1% of the total printing volume. Different from the domestic situation, the current digital printing machine in foreign countries has a much larger share. For example, the total number of digital inkjet printers in the Americas has now exceeded 150. At the same time, foreign research reports predict that from 2009 to 2014, the annual compound growth rate of global textile digital printing machines can reach 23.1%.
