Speedy Development of Digital Processing and Internet Information Exchange
All digital workflows are on their way. They will soon replace the traditional analogue imaging and desktop processing system. With all digital workflows, you would experience highly resolute and reliable digital performance in a graphic processing, proofing, output is no longer a dream anymore. Prepress production line has becoming more integrated, professional and diversified. The main development trends of application software are openness, cross-platform functions, intelligence and standardization of documentation format.
On one hand, application of new technology has blurred the existing division of labour. All the traditional work processes related to printing plate production can now be gathered together in one single place. On the other hand, there are rising needs for customization and increasing demands for creativity in design. Design production, plate production and printing are running into 3 separate streams of development in printing industry. Polarization would become the inevitable phenomenon in printing industry. In one extreme it is the monopoly of a few big corporations. And there will be a flock of small enterprises in the other extreme. Not much room would be left for medium enterprises.
The implementation of digital workflow is the irresistible trend of development in printing industry. Maturing printing technologies such as Copydot scanning, digital proofing, computer to plate, and digital workflow gradually remove the obstacles to the implementation of digital technologies. Advanced output technology, together with intelligentization of digital workflow management will also improve the efficiency of digital printing operation.
