Discussion and Reflection on Modern Binding (II)

Fourth, the balance between print and indoctrination views is an old topic in the industry. Jin Jin has always hoped for "small and complete." Therefore, during the Cultural Revolution, for the production of "Hong Baoshu," binding machines and bookbinding industries were too big. Step by step; also hoped for "professional division of labor", making the binding plant blooming everywhere. The direct impressions given to these people are the "balance" of printing in quantity rather than the leap in the quality of equipment. In other words, there is no progress in equipment, no improvement in technology, and no updating of materials. Therefore, although printing has already bid farewell to "lead and fire" and entered "light and electricity", and binding, at least some small and medium-sized printing companies still rely on the "people's war" of "millet plus rifles." However, this is by no means the future of the bookbinding industry. Printing and binding must inevitably adapt to each other, develop together, and increase simultaneously.
1. Prerequisites for printing balance (1) Adaptation to the scale of investment Compared to printing, the binding process is classified, the procedures are numerous, and the process is long. Therefore, its investment is also great. A company with a minimum of mechanized hardcover and binding capacity (not to mention automation) will invest no less than a medium-sized pure printing plant. Therefore, a company with a balanced printing capacity has twice as much or even more investment than a simple printing company with the same printing capacity.
(2) Compatible with quality control Printing and assembly are processes before and after. Stapling is performed on already printed carriers (paper, for example). Defects in the binding process are sometimes not reworkable and are present in the final product. Downgraded and scrapped. Therefore, it is not wise for a company that produces high-grade prints or lobbying for a quality image without putting the bookbinding in a controlled range.
(3) Professional printing companies, professional binding companies, and printing and assembly companies that are compatible with the economic environment are all present in a certain social and economic environment. Because of the introduction, the professional type, the all-round type, it depends on the specific environment. For example, Hong Kong has a relatively small geographical area, a relatively concentrated printing company, a high level of skills, a high level of skills, and a higher level of quality assurance. The local binding companies are mostly street and township enterprises. No matter from which point of view, the credibility of their quality can not be very reassuring. Therefore, how to ensure the quality of the "balance" will be the chief balance of printing and packaging. factor.
(4) Adaptation to technological progress The dependence of modern binding on labor force quantity and employee experience has been greatly reduced. Therefore, the balance of printing and printing has been extended from the "balance" of product quantity to equipment maintenance technology and production management technology. "balance".
2. The balance of printing measures The printing balance has evolved from a pure balance of progress and quantity to an overall balance of quality, environment, and technology. Of course, there are more balances. . However, "all balance" must ultimately be reflected in the relationship between "printing" and "preparation." The author thinks:
(1) For large and medium-sized enterprises, the printing of their main products should be relatively balanced within the company.
(2) Form a bookbinding center in the area, use large investment to make use of the most modern equipment and management, and ensure the binding quality of high-end products, fine products and export products. This should have the responsibility of providing binding services for the same industry in the region. This may be the best way to quickly increase the level of China's equipment and to integrate the benefits of investment. ,
(3) For the bookbinding with less demand and special process, under the condition that the funds are not sufficient, the outside processing and manual work can still be the main products.
Fifth, technological progress + social cooperation = together to improve the quality of a book printing quality, printing is of course playing an important role, but the design and binding quality binding is also crucial. At present, compared with foreign books, a lot of domestic books, the design and binding quality of the binding is more obvious.
In recent years, the domestic printing industry has stepped up the technical transformation of binding equipment. Some powerful printing manufacturers that have already introduced or are considering printing companies have already introduced or are considering the introduction of advanced hardcover books and rubber books production lines. Other auxiliary equipment to improve the quality of the binding; and some small and medium-sized printing plants have also purchased domestically-made rubber binders to enhance their binding capacity. This has greatly changed the status of the printing industry's modernization of printing equipment and the traditional (handwork) of binding processes, which has changed the status of low bookbinding quality.
However, we should also realize that because the inertia of the products for a long time has not been able to stop for a while, it takes time for people to change their consciousness. Therefore, China's printing industry is still very much involved in the international printing industry. At present, China’s average per capita consumption of paper is lower than that of developed countries for 20 years or even 50 years, which will certainly lead to semi-discontinued production of equipment, which intensifies the already fierce competition. This phenomenon is particularly prominent in certain areas and in the printing industry in certain systems.
A real company exists for gaining "benefit." Therefore, improving the utilization of equipment will be an important issue faced by companies (rather than the government). To change the current status of the printing industry, it is necessary to do a good job of cooperation between the agencies (publishers, customers) and factories (printers) and do a good job in cooperation between the company, the factory, and the three companies...
My company has a modern hardcover, rubber books production line, in the development of recent years tasted the sweetness of this kind of cooperation, especially in cross-border community, factory cooperation has made great progress. In fact, this cooperation is commonplace in some of the more developed countries such as South Korea.
Of course, the socialization of the printing industry is easy to say, and it is still very difficult to do. This requires the policy orientation of national and regional governments, the need for business leaders to change their concepts, and also involves a series of issues such as the redistribution of interests in publishing and printing.
Technological progress and social development are inevitable trends. Let us work together to face the problems encountered in development and strive to improve the quality of our printed products.
