Development of Printing Machines in China


The development of printing machines in our country has gone through a process from scratch, from backwardness to advancement. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the printing press manufacturing industry in our country was extremely weak, and could only imitate some small equipment such as embossing machines. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a printing industry system mainly composed of books, magazines, packaging, and newspapers was gradually formed, and a number of state-owned printing factories were established. The printing machinery manufacturing industry also took shape. In the 1970s and 1980s, Wang Xuan from Peking University invented the Chinese character laser typesetting system, which initiated the digitalization process in the field of Chinese character printing. In recent years, China's printing machine manufacturing technology has continuously broken through. For example, through independent research and development, Shaanxi Beiren has produced high-end gravure printing machines with a market share of over 80% in the domestic market, with more than 500 products and leading and participating in the formulation of more than 10 national (industry) standards. At the same time, the manufacturing technology of domestic digital inkjet printing machines has become increasingly mature, achieving new technological breakthroughs in inkjet printing coating technology, ink droplet and ink volume control technology, etc. The printing quality of domestic rotary inkjet printing equipment has reached a new high.
