"Square" web printing press (center)

If you are a sheet-fed printer with annual sales of $10 million, the open-web press will provide you with a smooth financial transition to a full-web press. This will not only guarantee the same print quality as the sheet-fed printing for the customer, but it will also be an intermediate step to solve the shortage of financial resources for the printers. It can transfer part of the sheet-fed paperwork, especially the long-run prints, to the folio. Web presses are printed on web presses and other revenue-generating machines are made on the original sheet-fed presses.
From the current business situation of the printers, we can see that half web printing is still a viable printing market, and the traditional sheet-fed printers consider that whether or not to use a half-width web printing method is now a reasonable number of 10,000 prints. , And a few years ago still 20,000 printed.
Among commercial printers who are looking to expand their printing capabilities and seek commercial opportunities in direct mailing, promotional prints, labels, flexible packaging and folding carton printing, half web printing is growing. Some half-web presses also offer variable length printing to handle a variety of grammage papers from film to paperboard, ideal for practical applications. At the same time, the operating costs required for half-web printing are lower than those for full-web printing.
For the narrow web press market, experts believe its outlook is optimistic and growing. However, due to the lack of published statistical data on narrow-web printing, it is difficult to assess specifically. Heidelberg is said to have 40 to 50% market share in the narrow-web commercial web press market in North America. The company's mainstream printer, Printstream, has three models: the split-half web press (width 20 inches), which is shorter Silk stencil printing machine (width 26.5 inches) and 12-page straight silk stencil printing machine (width 26.5 inches). In September 1999, Heidelberg purchased a 30% stake in Sweden's Gallus, which is a professional manufacturer of flexographic narrow-web rotary web presses.
Many printers have begun to adopt new models of half-web presses, such as replacing the old half-width web printer Printstream, which has greatly improved its print quality, reduced consumption, and conversion time. Advantages include digital pre-press processing, advanced ink system, printing control and automation, closed-loop color and register control, and other good compatibility.
Printers have to do comprehensive considerations in various aspects. From the sales statistics for half webs, about 75% of sales are for web printers and only 25% are for paper sheet printers. If a printer has both a web press and a sheet-fed press, it can obviously be used in conjunction with a financial situation that may be much better than a web-only press or just a sheet-fed press.
From the point of view of the printing market, printers must expand their business and engage in the printing of various types of printed materials. In the face of the printing market with a variety of printing services, it can be seen that these two printing methods complement each other. If you look at the parameters of the sheet-fed printing and then examine whether the web-printing press can print the same print job, you will find that the answer to the quality of the printed image is the same for the same format. However, if the print volume is only a thousand sheets, using a web press is not appropriate.
Take a half web printer specialized in book reprint printing as an example, the typical number of prints is 5,000 to 10,000. The use of a half web press enables efficient prepress preparation, reduces other costs, and a suitable printing process maximizes productivity. However, in general, the average number of impressions on a half web press is not the same, and most printers believe that the optimum number of web presses is between 15,000 and 30,000 impressions.
A large commercial printer with an annual turnover of 67 million believes that the key to the successful application of half web printing is the combination with other various printing equipment. The company recently purchased a Mitsubishi new wire web half-width web press, which is under full load. The addition of this equipment made it possible to combine the two short-web, half-web presses, two sheet-fed presses, and two full-web presses in a 220,000-square-foot facility. In assessing whether it is still necessary to replenish a full web press, the company believes that as long as there is enough business to make a half web press at full capacity, why do we have to invest 25% more to purchase a full web? Paper printing machine? The company's business in printing markets such as brochures, direct mailings, catalogues and speech materials is ideal for half-web printing. With the decrease in the number of pages and the number of prints in the printing market, it will be even more helpful to expand the half web printing market. Another advantage of the use of a half web press is the increase in the number of printed copies.
The biggest obstacle to the expansion of the half-web printing market is that a large number of sheet-fed printers still believe that web presses are inferior in terms of print quality. Experts believe that this may have been the case 10 years ago, and today's press manufacturers can provide web presses that can meet or exceed the print quality of a sheet-fed press.
The use of new technologies to compete with sheetfed printing market Magna Print purchased quality Mitsubishi Diamond8 straight-web half-web presses where print quality was a major consideration. When the company decided to use a half-web press, it did not want to increase productivity as a price for obtaining second-rate quality prints. For such a medium-sized printer based on print catalogs, pamphlets, yearbook reports, greeting cards, and general commercials, the time to print is a key consideration. With a web-width web press, printers can print, dry, fold and bind Indian prints in one day.
As the market demands more and more variable amounts of instant printing, printers have found that the half-web printing market has more opportunities than the sheet-fed printing market in future growth. (To be continued)
