Research on the technique of ink presetting for domestic small and medium-sized packaging printing enterprises

Abstract

In most small-size packaging printing enterprises, waste of paper and ink and low production efficiency still exist. The reason is that ink supply amount is estimated according to the operator’s experience and ink key is adjusted by hand in the process of ink presetting. This article discusses the digitalization of ink supply in printing equipments with interface of CIP3/CIP4. The experiment result shows that the effect of ink presetting is good, the preparation time is decreased, the production efficiency is improved, the waste of paper and ink are reduced, and the cost is lowered.
