Facts ABout Digital Printing

Digital printing is a non-contact method to print colors on various materials of substrate decoration. Digital printing produces images, colors and patterns by using computer controlled ink jet nozzles.

Why use ink jet?

It's creative ...
as well as fast and flexible – because there's no time-consuming recipe formulation. Any design can be used and either scanned in or created on the computer. Colors can be chosen and changed at a mouse click. The colors mix on the fiber, so theres no limit to shades.

It's clean ...
because all the color goes onto the fabric and none into the waste water; the inks are liquid and thus non-dusting; water and energy consumption is low, and there's no cleaning of equipment between runs.

It's competitive...
because it is highly cost effective, with fully reproducible results, and because short runs are efficient and cost effective – a short cut to personalized and customized production.

It's flexible and fast...
because a mere mouse click adjusts design, color and printer, because designs can be sent via computer and because the printer is computer controlled.

It's environmentally excellent...
because the inks are water-based and because very little water is required for washing off.

There's no paste and no waste...
because no paste is required in ink jet printing and because all the ink goes onto the fiber and none into the waste water.

Graphic Design in Printing Industry

Understanding Graphic Design

Graphic design is a form of visual communication using text and or images to convey information or messages. Graphic design art include cognitive abilities and skills, including typography, image processing, and page layout. Graphic designers also play a role in arranging the display of letters and spaces to create a composition of effective design and communicative. Graphic design covers all areas that require verbal language translation into the visual design of text and images on various media publications in order to convey messages to the communicant as effective as possible.

Graphic design is applied in communication design and fine art. Like other types of communication, graphic design can refer to the process of making (design) or any resulting product (design / design). Graphic design was originally applied to static media, such as books, magazines, and brochures. In addition, in line with the times, graphic design is also applied in the electronic media - often referred to as interactive design (interactive design), or multimedia design (multimedia design ')
Principles and design elements

Element in graphic design as the basic elements of design in general. These elements (including shape, shape (form), texture, line, space, and color) form the basic principles of visual design. These principles, such as the balance (balance), rhythm (rhythm), stress (emphasis), the proportion (proportion) and unity (unity), then form a structural aspect of a larger composition.
Graphic design tools

In mid 1980, the arrival of desktop publishing and the introduction of graphic software applications introduced a generation of designers in the computer image manipulation and 3D image creation that previously was a hard work. Computer graphic design by allowing designers (designers) to see the effects of layout or typography changes instantly without using ink or a pen, or to simulate the effects of traditional media without demanding a lot of space.

In general the computer is considered an indispensable tool in the graphic design industry. Computers and software applications are generally seen, by creative professionals, as a means of production more effective than the use of traditional methods. However, some designers continue to use manual and traditional tools in the work, such as Milton Glaser

There is debate about whether computers enhance the creative process of graphic design. Rapid production of computer graphics enable designers to explore many ideas quickly and more detail than can be achieved by working hand scratches or cut-paste to the paper. However, faced with unlimited choices of this sort sometimes not produce the best design solution and sometimes just making circles with no clear result

New ideas often come with trial on the tools and methods, both traditional and digital media. Some professional graphic designers explore ideas using pencil on paper to avoid the limitations of computers, allowing them to think outside the box. Some creative ideas from graphic design and developed even begin until nearly the end result in mind, before it is applied either with traditional methods or computer. There is also the formation of visualization with the use of computer aided with image-making capabilities complex and fast.

A graphic designer can also use sketches to explore ideas that are complex quickly without breaking the concentration due to technical problems of computer software. "Comp" (a term in the graphic design that refers to the initial draft for submission to the client, short for comprehensive layout), made by hand is often used to obtain approval from a graphic design idea. The form of thumbnail sketches or strokes rough draft on paper can also be used to generate ideas in a hybrid process (a combination of computer usage and scratches his hands). Such hybrid process is especially useful in the manufacture of logo design in which the technical problem of software often solve concentration. Hybrid process is also used to liberate one's creativity in making the page layout or image development. A graphic designer might also employ traditional production artist (production artist) a masterful use a computer to realize the idea of sketches.

Some of the Software in Graphic Design

Software development course will produce images that have high artistic value. This is certainly not independent from the use of software. There are several software used in graphic design, among others: 1. Adobe Photoshop 2. Adobe Illustrator 3. Adobe After Effects 4. AutoCAD 5. Maya 4.5 6. CorelDraw 7. etc. In this case, to produce an image that has high artistic value not merely pengguasaan software itself but rather tends to art and creativity and imagination in the pouring into the picture.

f among you there are interested in starting a business and work / effort in the field of graphic design or computer services for the printing settings, then it would be nice if you know "what the minimum equipment" to be prepared to start a business.

For graphic design equipment or computer settings, in fact I have mentioned in the article entitled Relationship Hobbies example with Business Idea, but in the article I just mentioned briefly without a wider discussion. For that purpose, then in this article I will mengulasnya again with a more detailed discussion.

To start a business and pursue graphic design or computer settings, the graphic design of equipment "minimum" to be prepared is as follows:

1. Computer

For computers, the specifications should be prepared to support jobs for graphic design, and do not forget, too .. must be available a CD-ROM/RW or DVD-ROM/RW to read data from CDs or to memburning (burn / save) the data of the design into a piece of CDs or DVDs.

2. Software (Software)

Actually, for each operating system (operating system), would have a graphic design software applications different, but in the world of printing, in general, still use Windows as the operating system. So because of this, graphic design software is commonly used CorelDraw and Adobe Photoshop. While application software such as Macromedia FreeHand, Adobe page maker, and so forth, can be added as a software complement other graphic design applications.

3. Scanner

Scanner is also not less important, because without a scanner we can not imitate the image with the shape and size are exactly the same image with a sample picture of existing designs. With a scanner, you can enter an example of design into it to be scanned, and the results of these scans can be processed / copied by graphic design application to be made into a new text design.

4. Printer

Printer must be owned by a person engaged in the business of graphic design to the printing press should be printing text in black color and the color. Usually a graphic designer, at least must have:

* Laser Printer black: to print / design memprinting manuscript on paper or tracing paper HVS.

* Inkjet color printer: to print / design memprinting example script or printed so doing directly.

5. Paper

* HVS (just 70 gsm). Choose the brand of paper that has a neat print and make ink does not overflow, because it could affect the printout. Paper printed with HVS is used when printing plates to be used in printing is paper plates / paper plate.

* Paper tracing. Results from the printer to print a paper plate is required when tracing is used to print engine is an aluminum plate / aluminum plate. And usually the result of tracing the print is better than the prints on the paper so influential is the quality of the next process. But of course not as good as the prints by using film.

* Glossy paper, and other papers (as a complement, and not a necessity)

6. CDs (Compact Disc)

Blank CDs should be provided as a place to store the data of the design, because consumers do not necessarily come with a CD or a piece flshdisk etc., to store the data of the design.

7. Ruler (Ruler)

To make the design in accordance with the size of the existing examples / so, of course, needed a ruler to measure the existing examples / so that, to then be adjusted in size in the computer design. Used a ruler should be made of metal, because the ruler at any time required when cutting paper.

8. Paper Cutting Knives (Cutter)

Sometimes a cutter is needed also by a graphic designer to design the cut paper.

9. Plastics

Plastic packaging is required as / where to store paper containing the text of the design, so protected from the tangled, dust, dirt, and so on. Customized plastic size (slightly larger than the paper).

Printing and Any Kinds of Printing

Printing is an industrial process for writing and drawing pemproduksikan mass, using ink on paper using a printing press. The printing press is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing. The printing press used to make many identical copies of pages. Now used to print books and newspapers. Now everything can be done automatically. When the printing press invented by Johannes Gutenberg, he must put the letters together. Each letter in the metal block in a frame. Then he can move the paper and ink on it, much like a stamp. Letters that would leave some ink on paper.

Today many books and newspapers printed using offset printing techniques. Usually the image to be printed prior to the above described offset plate with the help of a laser printer and then the plates will be processed into a pattern of printing to be imposed penintaan onto print paper. The colors can be obtained by attributing some of the color pattern offset from each plate well.

Another common printing techniques including relief printing, screen printing, rotogravure, and digital-based printing such as needle ribbon, inkjet, and laser.

Also known poly printing techniques for the giving the impression of gold and silver to the surface and emboss print to give the impression to the paper stand out.
History

Most likely the first printing press was invented to facilitate the duplication of the gospel. If previously written by hand in the scriptoria room, then since the time humans began to think renaisansce to accelerate this process through mass production.

Printing techniques known first start of the City of Mainz, Germany in 1440 which is the handicraft center at the time the coin. Method was first printed by Johannes Gutenberg introduced the inspiration digesekkan coin with charcoal on paper.

Coin Relief raises the idea to create a surface with varying height. This is known as a high print. High print is the name for the technique of printing in graphic arts, including wood cukil techniques, where the plate / board that will print color is the original surface; part colorless dicukil.Dan is a regular part can also be called a relief print

In contrast to this technique is intaglio printing techniques, like those found in the engraving or etching.
Offset printing

Offset printing is a printing technique that is widely used, in which the inked image on the transfer / offset from the first plate to the rubber sheet, then to the surface to be printed. When combined with a lithograph process, which is based on the nature of water and oil do not mix, then the offset technique uses an image loader flat (planographic) where the image will be printed to take ink from ink rollers (ink rollers), while areas that are not printed attracting water, causing the area to no ink-free printing.
Prints / Print Filter

Prints / Print strain is one of the techniques of the printing process using screens (screen) with a particular fiber density. This screen is then given a pattern from the negative design made earlier. This cloth is stretched tightly in order to produce the printout screen and flat. Having given fotoresis and lit, will form the parts that can be passed and not ink.

The process of execution is by pouring ink on the screen and then washed using a palette made of rubber. One screen is used for one color.

Rotogravure

Rotogravure is a printing technology in the world. Rotogravure alone in the world of print graphics means. Or in layman language is the printing technology used to print media made of a flexible material (eg; various types of plastic, aluminum and paper and PVC). Materials to be printed is in the form of rollers or rolls. Results from the rotogravure printing is not directly can be enjoyed by consumers, but must go through several stages, as follows (eg manufacture of snack packs of children);

1. Plastic laminated printout by placing first in print rollers to laminate machine, then the plastic rollers are coated with adhesive and attached to other media in the form of "metalize" (a mixture of plastic material coated with aluminum).
2. Results that have been laminated rolls and then dried (in the "aging") first.
3. Rollers that have been dried and then taken to the machine "slitter", to cut long, wide rolls into a certain size in accordance with orders from the snack manufacturer.

The above process only a brief description, behind it is still a lot of technology used in the world to produce a rotogravure packaging. Starting from design, making cylindrical tubes of iron, copper coating, making the picture above has a metal cylinder covered with copper, chrome coating, printing, inspection, lamination, slitting (cutting), making bags (if that orders sent form pockets) and many longer process therein.

Because in the process changing the form of raw material into a material, usually this process is called process of "converting" or in other words is "converting industry"

As some everyday examples of converting the result is, as follows: 1. 2 packs of instant noodle. Packaging of drugs (other than the capsule and syrup and eye drops) 3. 4 snack packs. Water bottle label bottled mineral water and isotonic (called shrink label) 5. Close mineral water drinks, etc. (cup lid) 6. And the like.

Digital Printing

Digital printing is all reproductive technologies that receive electronic data and use the point (dot) for replication. All the printing press that utilizes the computer as a source of data and the print process is using the principle of the point; where the picture or image in materials (paper, plastics, textiles, etc.) are composed of a collection of points.

Definition printer, copier, press
Based on the print engine existing applications, the digital print classified roughly 3;
(1) printer - such as a printer for the Personal Computer (PC)
(2) copier - such as copiers equipped with a scanner
(3) press - such as offset printing machines.

Printer is all the technology, which makes printing pictures or images on paper drawn from the data / computer files; produce the first derivative of the print or original printing in which each mold can be unique or changed. This feature provides the ability personalized printed materials. All documents can be an individual. Ink technology can be used inkjet, wax-transfer and toner.

Copier or a copier, scanner tool is characterized by; produce a second derivative mold. Copiers can reproduce the first derivative of the mold. Common ink toner used is, using technology elektrofotografi.

Press or printing press, characterized by a mechanical system that relies on conducting (carrier) image to replicate or duplicate an image similar to the material (paper) printed repeatedly and continuously. Commonly found in lithografi offset printing equipment, which allows to print the paper size and bulk.

In the development of digital printing applications, from the three groups developing mixtures machine;
1. Printer Press
2. Press Printer
3. Scanner Printer.

Printer Press, often referred to as a printer print (the first derivatives of documents) good high quality black and white or color. Printer engine speed reaches 50 pages per minute or more, which is equipped with a belt to speed up "delivery" and holding a paper with a static electric effect. Replace belt roller which often cause problems for high-speed jamming. This tool enables the printer to make a dynamic image / changed on the photoconductor belt or a drum for every 50 pages printed. Not infrequently this printer device equipped with a bindery and finishing facilities.

Press printer, printing equipment offset press with the process of conducting a direct image above offset machine - without any outside prepress process of printing, the printing device is added to the printer at the end to provide a dynamic / changing. Usually a set of printing these additional printers using inkjet ink technology.

Printer scanner, printer, printing device equipped with a scanner equipment. This printing machine is equipped network-related RIP, raster image processor, allowing to modify the results of the scanning image. This type of information is the first derivative of the document, is different from the copier machine is often confused because both use the scanner equipment.

Reproductive Information
To better understand the concept of digital printing, so there are roughly 2 reproductive groups of information;
1. Static printing
2. Dynamic Printing.

Static Printing, the process of doubling the same information and remain in large numbers. To change the information from one printout to spend effort, cost and a large amount of mold that are not needed. We refer to the traditional print processes such as offset printing machine, where the image carrier is blanket contains the same information and keep for a number of sheets printed.

Dynamic Printing, the process of doubling the information that could change for each sheet printed. We can refer to the copier machine or copier, which can multiply each sheet of paper with different information depending on the information you want copied.

Based on the characteristics and general nature of the dynamic printing above were found on equipment, methods and digital printing technology. Ability to provide dynamic information associated with the use of files and / or the computer itself. Computers are the main pillars of digital printing.

Reproductive Parameter Information
Broadly speaking there are 2 groups of parameters;
- The main parameters and
- Parameters complement to distinguish Static and Dynamic Printing, and at the same time the guidelines in using each type of mold.

The main parameters, parameters that are unique and specific in distinguishing static and dynamic printing, consisting of;
1. Image carrier
2. Variability information
3. Cycle time
4. Number printed
5. Front cost
Further explanation can be seen following paragraphs "Defining Digital Printing".

Complementary parameters, parameters that nature continue to grow and change as possible in which a lack of means and the unique differences between static and dynamic printing, consisting of;
1. Quality printing
2. Type of paper
3. Demy
4. Ink materials
Further explanation in the paragraph "Technology Equipment Digital Printing".

Defining the Digital Printing
By understanding the parameters above we easily see and define the multi-aspect and the name of digital printing. Dynamic printing itself is a red thread of the term digital printing, where the use of computers and computer files is the origin of the development of digital printing.

Technological developments of the main parameters of reproduction of information leading to the development of digital printing aspects, among others;

1. Direct Imaging;
Associated with the process of making "image carrier" (such as pengahantar image plate and blanket)

2. Variable Printing
Associated with variable information

3. On-Demand Printing
Related to the amount of mold, cycle time and cost front

4. Distributed Printing
Related to the technology itself, computer files that can be moved and stored

5. Digital prepress and Workflow
Related to the technology itself, computer files that can be moved and stored

Impact & Non-Impact Printing
Are factors and non-impact printing has impatc and role in the development of digital printing?. The answer is yes and no, at first all digital printing refers to the non-impact printing wlaupun with direct imaging technology we can do process printing lithografi the impact printing.

However, this term is clearly not a factor that defines digital printing.
Impact Printing, with the ignition ditandadi image carrier with printed materials (paper, plastic).

Digital Printing Equipment Technology
The development of digital printing equipment technology is strongly influenced by the use of ink materials, among others;
Ink, toner, ink jet, etc.

Print quality, paper and size is influenced by technological developments affecting the above and at the same time the print market segments that exist.

Using Ink in Digital Printing

In general, the ink used for digital plotter machines are divided into two types namely: water-based inks and solvent-based inks.

Water-based inks there are two types of ink, dye and pigment ink. Dye ink provides color printout is perfect but have a short survival when used for outdoor (outdoor). Pigment ink has a color printout is pretty good (not as good as dye ink) and have good endurance, for in the room survived for hundreds of years while outside the room could hold up to 4 years with the help of laminate. In general, the second ink on the media used to have in-coated (which generally has a high price).

Mild solvent gives color printout is perfect, and can be used on coated and uncoated media media. Mild solvents are generally able to survive beyond 3 years in space and can survive up to 5 years outdoors with the help of laminate. Mild solvents are environmentally friendly because it does not smell so do not require special ventilation in the process of its use.

Solvent ink / Standard Solvent excellent media used for uncoated and has a very good power to outer space (outdoor). However, this raises the ink very stinging smell that require special ventilation in the process of its use.

In addition to the above type of ink is also known another type of ink sublimation ink (Heat transfer inks). This ink generally enter into the category of water-based inks, the ink is used for digital printing processes such as t-shirts, mugs, plates, ceramics, and so on.
