China printers provide superior quality, reliable service and lower prices…these are all the same reasons why many people buy other high-caliber goods from international manufacturers.

China printers, are now open to a broad spectrum of printing projects. The evolution of graphic arts technology from mechanical art boards to computer files, e-mail and high-speed data transmission lines has transformed the printing industry, making production overseas easier and even more affordable than ever before.

China factories produce superior print jobs as fast as, or faster than, many printers in the U.S. They make firm commitments to our delivery schedules, and it’s common for China printing plants to work around the clock, seven days a week. Average shipping time to U.S. West Coast ports is 21 days by sea (about four weeks to Europe). From there we transport by truck or rail to all destinations. We can deliver your print order to your door, almost anywhere in the world.

Ahmedabad, Nov 26 (IANS) Japanese printing ink manufacturers might shift their production to low-cost manufacturing countries like India as a result of the current global financial meltdown.

PMS means we use special ink to print instead of in full color printing process. Special ink sometimes is mixed by printing manufactory or produced by ink factory directly. Printing manufacture use the special chromatogram to match the color. Using PMS could make the color correctly.  However, on the computer it cannot see the color correctly, it can use standard color matching system to see the color.  Pantone color system set up one detail chromatrgram which it is becoming the standard on printing industry.      

finishing- binding

Binding
Choose from saddle stitching, perfect binding, thread sewing, wire-o binding or loop stitching. We have the capacity and capability to finish a vast range of shape and size variations.

Saddle Stitching
Most booklets, magazines, catalogues and many other printed documents are bound using saddle stitching.
Wire staples hold the pages together. A machine drives them through its backbone fold to the centrefold, where they clench. A saddle-stitched printed piece lies almost flat when opened, a convenience for readers.

However, saddle stitching involves certain mechanical requirements. A saddle-stitched document must be at least eight pages long and increase in length in four-page increments. Saddle stitching is a good choice for binding documents of up to 64-80 pages. Documents involving more pages or heavy material may demand some other type of binding.

Perfect Binding
Perfect binding is well suited for use with books, thick magazines, annual reports, technical manuals, and catalogues. From a minimum thickness of approximately 3mm, it works well with a wide range of document thickness and trim sizes.
To produce a perfect-bound document, the folded signatures are gathered together in page sequence, clamped together, and placed in a machine that slices about 3mm off their left edges. Then roughers mill the newly sliced sheet edges to prepare them for gluing. Finally, the edges receive an adhesive application and adhere to a backing.

Although text pages printed on 170gsm material can be perfect bound, we do not recommend using material heavier than 150gsm as the document is liable to fall apart.

Thread Sewn
Mainly used in book production requiring more durability than perfect binding.
Printed sheets are folded into signatures which are collated and sewn by machine. Adhesive is then applied to the spine and the cover is drawn on.

Loop Stitching
A method of saddle stitching whereby the stitch is formed into a semi-circular loop that sticks out beyond the spine of the publication. These loops slip over the rings of a binder, serving as an alternative to hole punching.

Wire-o Binding
Typically used to bind reference books, reports, proposals, and calendars. They are durable, but do not permit printing on the document spine or the insertion of new pages.
A Wire-O binding holds the covers and pages of a document firmly in place by a double-loop wire inserted through holes drilled in their left edges.

All of the document’s pages lie flat when opened, can turn easily through 360 degrees.

Spiral Binding
Spiral bindings cost somewhat more than Wire-o. They may be made of either plastic or wire and allow the printed document to lie flat and to double over, useful characteristics for documents such as technical manuals, notebooks, and calendars.
One cannot add pages to documents once they are spiral bound. Also, rough handling may crush the spirals.
Case Binding
A book bound with a stiff, hard cover that is covered by fabric or other material. In case binding, most often used in book production, a minimum of 60 printed sheets are folded into 16 or 32-page signatures, which are collated and sewn by machine.
The sewn edges are coated with glue. Then a strip of gauze adheres to the document’s spine. Finally, the book and its covers are placed in a casing-in machine, which pastes the endpapers and fits the cover.
 

 

The most successful way to convince a child that reading books is exciting and fun is to introduce books to babies shortly after they are born. If a baby shower or birth is on the horizon, baby books make a terrific gift. You can supplement another gift of clothing or baby gear with a little book, typically ranging in price from $5 to $10. Gathering several books and a set of cute bookends is another option, or make the gift simply books, period.
Baby and toddler books get a lot of mileage. Use your imagination when reading a book to a little child. There are innumerable opportunities to “stretch” what’s contained in a baby book. Colors, shapes, object identification and so on can add a lot of dimension to what the untrained eye might consider a very “simple” book.

The procedure in printing

At side of the procedure printing could be divided into direct printing and indirect printing
Direct printing means the ink contact the paper directly and the ink transfer to the paper. The relief printing machine, intaglio printing, etc are always used to do direct printing.
Indirect printing means the ink first print on the cylinder and then transfer to the paper, sometimes we called offset printing.

Yesterday I received a quote from one client noted that full color printing, 80lb coated paper, emphasizing the quality should be very high, so the lineature should be 300.

How to fix on the Lpi? The higher Lpi, the better quality, right? Now I would like to tell you the information.
Offset printing is the normal printing mode, the feelings which are used to make plate are positive reverse. Fix the lineature depend on mainly two factors: resolution of the printing and printing project. Normally speaking, the highest resolution of the printing machine made in China is 200Lpi, the import machine could reach 300Lpi. For the printing project, if the stock is coated paper or good quality card paper, the lineature could be 175-300Lpi, if the stock is offset/uncoated paper, the lineature could be 120-150Lpi. And if printing newspaper the lineature could be 80-133Lpi.

In all, we adopt 175Lpi for printing. The technology will adjust the lineature if it is necessary and printing the perfect works. 

There are about 55000 churches read <Bible>, which are printed in China.

The report from one of the UK newspaper, “China printing manufacture will provide 1/4 the book” It gives the big surprise to the western. However, the report is far away from the fact, in China, many open coastal cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhejiang enjoys the most advanced printing equipments and technology. The can print 23copies per second. The annual sales could reach 12 million.

From 1980 till now, we have printed over 43 million copies, printed in 75 different language, export to 60 countries.

On the basic of the number of the increaing copies, the language and the bounding make the more changes. There are many kinds of versions, Braille version, lether cover,etc. Since the  paper which are used to be printed provided by the United Bible Society, the cost of printing is very competitive.
