face up to problems and find solutions

after years of development, the printing equipment industry has made unprecedented achievements songsorb? Cs400's color and stability, but we should also be sober to see that the road of future development will still be tortuous and arduous, especially after the golden development period, the industry has entered a critical period of relative overcapacity, industrial transformation, technological upgrading, major changes in the mode of economic growth, slowdown in growth and other factors. Therefore, we should face up to the current situation of the industry, be brave in innovation and development, and promote the continuous development and growth of the industry

offset plates. With the adjustment of the global offset printing plate manufacturing pattern to China, China's offset printing plate production capacity will continue to increase, which will lead to more intense competition in the domestic market, the performance differentiation of mainstream brands is no longer obvious, and the profit space of the industry chain will be reduced. At the same time, affected by the demand for digitization and environmental protection, the future development direction of offset printing plates is digitalization and green environmental protection; Product technology is developing towards high-precision, treatment free, UV resistant ink and personalized needs

in terms of the current development trend, there are two main problems in China's offset plate manufacturing industry: the global market needs higher quality products ① the industry competition is fierce and disorderly, the low-end plates do not pay attention to quality, serious pollution, low-cost competition, damage the Chinese brand image, and slow down the process of capacity transfer; ② Technical barriers are serious, and most advanced technologies are in the hands of large international companies such as Europe, America and Japan, which is detrimental to the development of domestic brands

in view of the development trend of the industry and the above problems, the author has the following suggestions. ① Industry associations and leading enterprises should do a good job in guiding, leading, and even standardizing. At the same time, industry integration should be carried out to eliminate low-end low-cost production capacity as far as possible. ② Industry enterprises should focus on the development of large and medium-sized enterprises and branding. ③ In terms of products, we should comply with the general trend of global green printing development, increase investment in research and development, accelerate technological progress, update equipment, and focus on the research and development of environmentally friendly printing plate products; In terms of production, optimize the global printing plate production supply chain, and the Chinese production base should undertake more production tasks; In terms of market, it advocates the concept of value sales, focuses on products and services, and focuses on products to bring value to customers; In terms of resources, we should strengthen talent training and introduction, strengthen technical cooperation and exchanges between enterprises, and shorten the technology and equipment gap between domestic enterprises and their European and American counterparts; Pay attention to the concept of all-round products and promote the all-round development of enterprises. ④ Actively explore overseas markets, speed up the pace of seizing the international market, and let more made in China and Chinese brands enter the world

printed blanket. For the future development of printing blanket, green is the theme and innovation is the thrust. Green refers to the realization of "0+0" solvent-free green printing blanket manufacturing. The first "0" refers to the "0" emission of toluene solvent waste gas during blanket production; The second "0" refers to the residual "0" content of toluene solvent in the rubber cloth and the "0" content of "o-hexamethylene" plasticizer. Innovation refers to high precision and practicality. High precision is shown in meeting the requirements of 15000 prints/hour, and practicality is shown in being easy to clean, meeting the printing production characteristics of multi batch and small printing volume. It has small thinning amount, good durability, and catching up with and surpassing the quality of International brands. After years of technical research, Jiangsu CommScope Printing Technology Co., Ltd. has achieved a breakthrough in the application of calendering production process in the production of high-end printed blanket, completely overturned the pulping and coating process that has been used for more than 100 years since the birth of printed blanket, and got rid of the problems of safety and environmental protection brought to the manufacturing industry of printed blanket

domestic printing blanket has gone through the era of blind volume and malicious price competition in order to digest production capacity. Under the guidance of the current environmental protection policy, green production control has been gradually implemented. For relevant production enterprises, the following two points should be considered. ① How to reduce the emission of exhaust gases (VOCs) and improve the utilization rate of materials, so as to improve the greening of the production environment, effectively reduce production costs and improve the competitiveness of products. ② Cooperate with the national "green printing" requirements, actively improve and develop UV blanket with different performance and meet different requirements, so as to meet the market requirements for environmental friendly UV ink printing
