Indigo Color Digital Printing Technology Application (2)

1.Indigo digital color printing machine is a high-tech product that integrates computer, network, laser imaging, data processing, electronic ink, monochrome personalization or color personalized imprint processing software. Its software, hardware and operating systems designed for personalization and variable data printing, and connected database technologies are the leading technologies in the digital printing industry. Its suitability and distinctive features for variable data and personalized printing: Indigo digital color printers do not use plate making, all-digital workflows, connection to database operations, direct printing from electronic documents and databases, no change of printing processes, per print Can be different characteristics, thus enabling each print can carry a lot of variable data and personal information, such as security numbers, dates, and even textures, patterns and so on. When these large amounts of personalized information are stored or printed in advance, the security number and personalization information can be automatically transferred to the printing machine and the pattern is automatically connected and printed at the same time. The number, pattern and contained information of each package and label are different. . Made into a database, automatically transferred when printing. The database provides the basic conditions for anti-counterfeiting and variable information: During the printing, the anti-counterfeiting number and personalized information can be automatically transferred to the printing machine and the pattern is automatically connected and printed at the same time. The number, pattern and contained information of each package and label are different. .
2. Indigo digital color printers are also characterized by high quality printing with an accuracy of 2400 dpi. The printing effect is much more beautiful than the label packaging products currently used in the market, with rich colors, sharp images and eye-catching, which undoubtedly can enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of products.
3. Indigo digital color printers are widely used in printing materials, such as copper plate, offset paper, art paper, stickers, plastic film, PVC, etc., with thickness ranging from 10 microns to 300 microns. In particular, self-adhesives and plastic film materials have been tested and dozens of brands, thousands of varieties, various types of substrates and surface materials, self-adhesives and plastic films can be printed on the market. .
4. Indigo digital printing machine has flat sheet feed or web printing, the substrate can be a variety of single or roll paper, plastic film, stickers, PVC, PET film (cigarette cable), etc. (3) The problems of traditional code anti-counterfeiting packaging production methods:
Traditional anti-counterfeit packaging production methods are divided into two processes: pattern printing + anti-counterfeit number spray, no doubt, time-consuming, laborious. The anti-counterfeiting number is usually sprayed by a printer, the number is monochrome, not beautiful, and as long as it can collect genuine numbers, it can be easily forged.
The Indigo digital color press has only one operation: the security number is printed simultaneously with the image and is completed in one pass. The security number is integrated with other patterns, and even four-color overprinting is possible. Each number is colored and the printing accuracy is as high as 2400 dpi. The anti-counterfeit number printed by the Indigo digital color printer itself makes it difficult for counterfeiters to imitate, and it also has database connection technology. The number, pattern, and information contained in each package, label are different, and Indigo digital presses are added. Can also provide spot color printing and microtext printing.
(D) Indigo digital color printing printing security products:
1. The anti-counterfeit number can be directly printed on the product's trademark, label, or package, or it can be made into a self-adhesive label on the product, inner packaging, outer packaging, or packaging seal, and even sent to each The distributor's label can be different. Both anti-counterfeit, but also to prevent distributors Chuanhuo, more conducive to market management.
2. Anti-counterfeit numbers are generated by software and cannot be guessed using special algorithms and are guaranteed not to repeat. Four-color overprinting of the numbers, each number being in color, can also be printed in monochrome. (You can also use spot color or text microprinting.)
3. The product is printed at a high precision of 2,400 dpi, so counterfeiters can not be forged at all.
4. After the anti-counterfeiting number is generated, it is recorded in the database and handed to the label user for further verification.
5. Establish a telephone/Internet automatic inquiry system and open a hotline. After the customer purchases a tagged product, he can call or check the number through the Internet to check the authenticity of the product. The second time the number is entered, the message “This number has been queried, please note”.
6. The use of anti-counterfeit labels for promotion: according to the status of inquiries, regularly announced the winning numbers, in order to achieve the promotion and encourage consumers to buy more products, the results of multiple inquiries, to attract other manufacturers to use this anti-counterfeiting method to save a lot of advertising costs.
Third, anti-counterfeit printing cost analysis Indigo digital color printers used in labels, packaging security printing anti-counterfeit printing, production costs low. Taking the printing of anti-counterfeiting labels as an example, the explanation is as follows:
Indigo digital color printing machine prints one A3 format print, the cost of ink and other printing consumables is about 0.90 yuan, and the pattern area is 30.7×43.8cm. Then the cost of four-color printing consumables per square centimeter is 0.90÷(30.7×43.8)=0.000669 yuan, and the monochrome is less than 0.000167 yuan.
1. If printing self-adhesive anti-counterfeiting labels, the price of each A3 format sticker is 0.4 yuan, then the total cost of A3 consumables is 0.90+0.40=1.30 yuan.
2. If the size of the security code label is 2.5cm×2cm, 255 security labels can be cut from each A3 paper. The cost of each security label is 1.30÷255=0.0051 yuan (four color labels). If the two-color labels are 5 square centimeters, then Cost <0.0025 yuan/standard.
If printed directly on the trademark packaging, the price of 80 grams of single-sided coated paper on A3 sheet is 0.10 yuan, then the total cost of A3 consumables is 0.90+0.10=1.00 yuan. Assume that the size of each brand pack is 5cm by 5cm. Each A3 The paper can cut 48 trademark packages. The cost of each trademark package is 1.00÷48=0.0208 yuan (four colors), and the cost for two-color 25 square cm labels is less than 0.01 yuan/standard.
3. If the color pattern is printed as traditional printing and the changed number is printed by an Indigo digital printer, the cost is lower, and only the depreciation cost of the machine can be considered.
4. Spot color printing, micro-text printing, monochrome or color personalized variable printing can be performed at the same time without any additional cost.
In summary, Indigo's color digital printing technology has unique features such as unique variable information, personalized shading, and database live code, making it particularly suitable for various types of security printing, and can overcome the defects of traditional anti-counterfeit packaging methods. , Provides excellent new solutions for label and packaging security printing. At the same time, due to its low production cost and commercial value, it has a broad market prospect in the label and packaging security printing industry. Through the use of relevant domestic units, it has won unanimous praise from companies, product manufacturers, vendors, consumers, and domestic and foreign security experts.
