Printing cost calculation:
The accounting of printing cost can also be divided into the above three parts, and the sum of the three parts is the price of printed matter.
1, preprinted:
The process of film making and proofing is calculated according to per-p, and A4 (2 10×285㎜) is the pricing standard for design, film making, proofing, printing and imposition. If there is any folding, it shall be calculated according to the actual size. Film is a necessity on the computer, and printing proofing is the most basic basis for checking the color of the collar machine.
2. Print:
The key link of printing is printing, and the pricing standard is color sequence, that is, each ream of paper of each color generally starts printing with five reams, and less than five reams are counted as five reams. If there are spot colors, such as enterprise-specific pattern printing spot color (pantone ink) or printing gold, silver and so on. Please be sure to indicate, and then it will increase from 4 colors to 5 colors and 6 colors, so that the price can be accurate.
3. Post-printing:
Usually it is the processing work after printing. Be sure to indicate: binding (riding nail or glue nail), folding (several folds); Whether there is film covering, UV, die cutting, bronzing and protruding parts in the post-press process should also be clearly written. If you have special requirements, please also indicate the special materials printed and the number of packages. The more specific and accurate the process, the more accurate the price.
Remarks: Please refer to FAQ-Technical Terms for specific post-processing technology (requirements: link to technical terms).
Printing is one of the four great inventions in ancient China. Since ancient times, the printing industry needs very professional technology. With advanced printing equipment, the threshold of printing industry seems to be lowered. However, the printing industry is a high-tech industry with low threshold, and it is still a complex system engineering to do well.
Printing can be divided into four categories: plane printing, screen printing, flexographic printing and gravure printing.
Printed matter: We usually see picture books, posters, loushu and so on. Printing offset plate and PS plate through film (film).
Screen printing: screen printing is carried out in the form of mesh from 80 mesh to 500 mesh, and the printing quality is directly related to the quality of screen printing.
Flexographic printing and gravure printing: mainly used for printing plastic products. At present, these two methods are mainly used in plastic printing on the market, and the quality of plate making directly affects the printing quality. Stereotype is a relatively fine method of making a plate.
Of course, with the development of high-tech era, digital printing, that is, digital business printing (CTP) is in the ascendant in China. It is fast, simple and convenient to use digital printing within 500 sheets to meet the immediate needs of modern business.
1. Technical terms:
Film: Film used for printing and plate making is called film. You can use film to dry the PS version, just like the negative of a photo. This is an indispensable proces in precision printing.
Generous: the size is 889× 1 194mm. The size of each base paper
Correct: the size is 787× 1092mm. The size of each base paper
Film covering: covering the surface of printed matter with a film to protect the quality of printed matter and prevent moisture, which can be divided into bright film and dumb film.
Overoiling: cover the surface of printed matter with an oil film to protect the color of printed matter from damage.
UV: printed matter has special effects and layering. It can be divided into local UV and full UV.
Coding: print variable data with more than 7 bits, and some need to build a database. It is divided into sequence code and random code.
Die-cutting: processing printed matter into the required shape.
Protrusion: The local characters or patterns of printed matter have three-dimensional effect.
Scraping ink: the special scraping ink on the scratch card covers part of the text.
Paste paper: Two or more sheets of paper are stacked together.
2. Why is it so troublesome to ask for quotation of printed matter, but also the paper, color and size?
A: When making a product promotion budget, customers will be anxious to know what the cost of printed matter is. Knowing some necessary printing knowledge is very important for you to choose printing cooperative manufacturers, master printing quotation and save precious time. Generally speaking, the more you know about printing and the more detailed it is, the more accurate our quotation will be.
3. Print the order cycle:
The delivery time depends on the requirements of the printing order. The production cycle is generally the design and processing time, and the design and proofing are generally within 4 working days after the customer signs and confirms. The more complex the post-press processing technology (such as laminating, binding, die cutting, UV, bronzing, etc. ), the longer the cycle, generally more than 4 working days, and old customers can enjoy preferential services such as quick service and free of urgent charges.
4. Matters needing attention in printing electronic documents
1. Please confirm whether the provided documents are complete. Sometimes, although images can be displayed, they are actually missing or have a low resolution of not less than 300 pixels/inch. Choosing an image below 300 pixels will directly affect the quality of printed matter.
2. Please pay attention to the necessary fonts needed for electronics or turn fonts into music. Only by ensuring the displayable and inputtable fonts can we avoid unnecessary waste of time and facilitate the smooth progress of the next work.
3. Please note that the color mode of linked pictures should be changed from RGB to CYMK mode, otherwise the film color will not achieve the expected printing effect after the film is released.
4.PANTONE spot color is a kind of special spot color ink in printing. In the process of making graphics, please confirm whether PANTONE spot color can achieve the same effect after being converted into CYMK. There is a certain difference between the two. Some PANTONE spot colors can also achieve the same effect after being converted into CYMK. But Process Pantone Color is definitely beyond CYMK's reach.
5. Double scanning single output of the picture. The scanning quality of the picture can be improved.
6. When typesetting the document, please pay attention to whether the 3mm bleeding required for printing is set, whether the colors in the typesetting software are set according to the color scale value, and check the finished size of the document.
7. Printing proofing is the most valuable and worry-free reference for printing plants. In the absence of proofing, black-and-white or color-sprayed document samples must be provided when printing to check the printed matter.
5. Chromaticity difference of film, proofing, printed matter and computer screen.
1, film (film) proofing is closest to printed matter. Digital proofing and computer screen are very different from the actual printed products. Printing proofing is the only standard in the printing process.
2. Color printing is the process of printing red, yellow, blue and black ink on paper products to produce color images. This principle is called CMYK, which is widely used in four-color offset printing technology.
Strictly speaking, the paper used for proofing should be the same as the paper used for actual printing, because different paper thickness and brightness will affect the printing effect.
6. What is a fashion craft? Including those?
Local fashion technology refers to advanced cutting-edge printing technology and effect. Including: full-page and local UV, wrinkles, blisters, frosting, colorful, ice flowers, crystal lettering and so on.
7. What is variable data printing?
Variable information printing (VIP), personalized printing, variable data printing (VDP), customer demand printing, database printing or other words, in the final analysis, use the organic combination of database, document and digital printing machine to create different printed matter. Scratch card codes are common. Variable digital printing needs to invest in software, which has certain requirements for employees' skills and customer's data preparation.
