Trends in printing finishing technology

Currently, the domestic printing market includes both large-volume, mass-produced printing products such as general books, periodicals, pictures, albums, packaging and decoration printing, trademarks, labels, samples, and instructions; and also high-demand, high-quality printing products such as exquisite books, albums, and export packaging printing. The former requires coating to be inexpensive, high-quality, and highly efficient. Publications and packaging and decoration printing have different requirements for the physical and chemical properties of coating, and all require the development of applicable new coating materials to replace traditional solvent-based and oil-based coating materials. The latter requires high efficiency, high quality, and high added value, and good suitability for printing and post-press processing, making extensive use of water-based coating, UV coating, local UV coating, and combination coating. With the continued rapid development of China's economy, the growth in the variety and quantity of export goods, and the continuous improvement of people's cultural and living standards, the demand for the latter will become increasingly large, and the requirements for coating quality will also become increasingly high. Although the grades of coating objects are different, the development of new products, improvement of quality, non-toxicity (or low toxicity), and low cost are the development trends and common requirements.
