Digital printing revolution

What does the market need?

Today's numbers The printing market is in a stage of rapid development, and the transition from fast printing to digital short printing has been basically completed, and it has gradually become a powerful complement to traditional printing. With the development of the market, more and more applications have sprung up, and at the same time bring attractive profits. However, in addition to the bright prospects with the rapid development, the development bottleneck of digital printing has become increasingly prominent – ​​there is a huge gap between productivity and printing quality and traditional printing. Customers' needs are constantly improving, and they are no longer able to meet the speed by sacrificing print quality and cost.

At present, the problems in the digital printing market are concentrated in: 1 the gap between digital printing quality and traditional offset quality; 2 the accuracy gap between positive and negative registration; 3 paper picking, poor adaptability; 4 more than 80% of the mass printing business needs double Face output, which means that each piece of paper will run twice in a single-sided printing device, so the speed is reduced by at least 50%, which is the biggest problem at present. Although market demand has been developed for double-sided printing, it seems that the current update speed of digital printing equipment is still not keeping pace with the market.

Canon Oc?VarioPrint6000Ultra+ series that breaks the digital printing bottleneck

In 2007, the first generation of the Oc?VarioPrint6000 equipped with the Oc? ​​Gemini two-sided instant printing system was launched into the market and quickly became a hot product in the Chinese book printing market, bringing a huge revolution to the global digital printing market. Today, the Canon Oc? VarioPrint 6000Ultra+ series has been introduced to the market as its third generation product, equipped with the Oc? ​​Gemini double-sided instant printing system (the device is the only device on the market with both front and back simultaneous printing), and at the same time Oc? CopyPress offset printing technology breaks many bottlenecks and can directly imprint the melted toner image into the paper fiber, bringing perfect offset quality, nearly 100% positive and backward registration accuracy, and extremely high Double-sided output speed and adaptability to a variety of output media, bringing the gospel to the on-demand printing and on-demand publishing markets, bringing digital printing to a whole new era.

Advantage 1: Offset quality

As a powerful complement to traditional printing, the most basic requirement for digital printing is to get as close to offset quality as possible. However, most digital printing equipment on the market cannot meet this basic requirement due to technical limitations.

The Oc?VarioPrint 6000Ultra+ series uses Oc?'s unique, long-established Oc?CopyPress offset printing technology that melts toner images and directly imprints them into paper fibers for 100% transfer without silicone oil fixing , can achieve extremely high offset quality.

Advantage 2: Positive and backward registration accuracy to meet the requirements of offset printing

Offset printing is nearly 100% accurate for front and back registration, especially on different specifications. Nowadays, the best registration accuracy of digital printing equipment is only 0.5mm, and it is not guaranteed to reach this level on any medium. It is often necessary to adapt to different quantitative and type media by constantly adjusting the equipment, which is easy to cause quality. And the decline in productivity.

The Oc?VarioPrint 6000Ultra+ series features the highest level of paper positioning module. The paper passes through a precise paper control system before printing, using multiple sensors for precise paper positioning. And all these adjustments will not cause any pauses. Oc? Gemini double-sided instant printing technology allows images to be printed on both sides of the paper at the same time. Since the paper passes through the high temperature area only once, it will not be unable to register due to the shrinkage and deformation of the paper, so it can bring a nearly complete standard front cover. Quasi-precision.

Advantage 3: Wide adaptability of paper

For traditional printing, offset paper, coated paper and special paper have been widely used, and the requirements for paper dosing are also relatively wide, and thinner or thicker paper can be used. However, most digital printing equipment cannot meet the above requirements. Even if it can meet or support massive output, stability and quality will be greatly reduced.

Oc?VarioPrint6000Ultra+ series uses OcéCopyPress offset printing technology and OcéGemini Instant Duplex technology to meet the printing of offset paper, coated paper and various special types of paper with a basis weight of 50-300g/m2. Stable and high-quality continuous output for ultra-large size 320mm × 500mm printing.

Advantage four: instant double-sided printing

At present, 80% of digital prints require double-sided output, but before the Oc?VarioPrint6000 series, there was no digital printing device that could simultaneously print on both sides, and most digital printing equipment was fixed by high temperature and high pressure. Paper curls, resulting in high paper jams and reduced quality.

The Oc?VarioPrint 6000Ultra+ series is a device that can print on both sides of the paper. The Oc?VarioPrint 6320Ultra+ has the fastest double-sided output speed of 314 impressions (A4) per minute or 168 impressions (A3) per minute. Since each piece of paper is run only once inside the machine, there is no risk of the paper being subject to heat and curl, resulting in higher stability and high quality printing characteristics.

The Oc?VarioPrint6000Ultra+ series will open a new round of development in the digital printing market. More applications will be tapped, and more short-run jobs will be completed through digital printing, bringing more business opportunities and profits to printing companies.
