Printed materials are no longer limited to the simple mode of "information carriers", but appear in images with more aesthetic and practical value. So, for enterprises, how to do printing and how to do it better to ensure the quality of printing. Below, we will analyze how to produce high-quality printed materials based on three objective factors.
Printed materials refer to various products produced using printing technology. In daily life, people come into contact with newspapers, books, magazines, maps, posters, advertisements, envelopes, letters, file bags, trademarks, labels, business cards, invitations, greeting cards, desk calendars, wall calendars, picture books, various cards, packaging boxes, gift boxes, circuit boards, and so on, all of which belong to the category of printed materials.
1.Printing consumables
Paper, ink, plate material, and dampening solution all have different properties, which will have a direct impact on printing. Before printing, it is necessary to master the performance and printing suitability of various consumables, avoid factors that may affect printing, and promote the characteristics that have a positive effect on printing. Many printing products have different requirements for printing effects. Some packaging printing products require bright colors, while others require soft and non glaring colors for book and magazine printing products. When choosing printing materials, it is important to pay attention to users‘ needs for printing product effects and find suitable consumables for printing.
For example, when printing various labels, high-grade copperplate paper with high whiteness, good surface smoothness, and good opacity should be selected for printing; In addition, some products require prolonged exposure to the outdoors, and when selecting ink and paper, sun resistance will be a performance indicator that requires special attention; Sometimes, when printing different types of products with offset printing, the requirements for the hardness of the rubber blanket are also different, and targeted selection should be made.

As long as the existence of external factors that affect product quality is fully considered, and advantages are fully utilized and defects are overcome in production, the quality of printed products can be improved to a certain extent.
2.Printing equipment
The normal operation rate of related equipment during the production process, the input of various auxiliary equipment, and whether their matching relationships meet the requirements will all have a certain impact on the quality of printed products. Any book, magazine or packaging printing product is mostly processed through several or more processes, including printing, binding, polishing, hot stamping, etc. The operation of these processes is generally closely related to the equipment. The quality of the equipment, whether the operation is convenient, and whether the equipment used in the next process can process and produce the products produced by the equipment in the previous process can all have a certain impact on the quality of the printed products.

If the equipment frequently malfunctions, it will not be able to fully utilize its various functions. The semi-finished products produced by printing or other processes will have various quality defects, making it impossible to guarantee the final quality of the product. This is also the key to ensuring the normal operation rate of the equipment. In addition, some devices also have certain requirements for objective factors such as the environment during use. When these requirements cannot be met, it will directly affect product quality. Therefore, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment is conducive to ensuring the quality of printed products.
3.Printing environment
Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, dust level, and the presence or absence of light during various production processes, including printing, will affect the quality of printed products in each process. Environmental changes can have a certain impact on printing. In offset printing, especially flat offset printing, changes in environmental humidity will directly cause the paper to absorb or lose water, resulting in paper deformation, affecting the paper feeding and overprinting process, and reducing the quality of printed products; The changes in temperature and the size of dust in the printing environment also have a certain impact on the various properties of ink and paper in offset printing, which will have varying degrees of influence on the quality requirements such as drying and color uniformity of the ink layer on the surface of the printed product, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the printed product to varying degrees.

The packaging printing methods mainly using flexographic printing and gravure printing are more sensitive to changes in ambient temperature and humidity. Excessive temperature and low humidity are not conducive to the drying of ink (especially water-based ink), resulting in quality defects such as paste and fuzz. Excessive dust content can also cause quality defects such as inaccurate printing on the printed product surface.
In the printing process and various processing steps of printed products, it is important to maintain a constant ambient temperature and humidity, reduce dust levels in the air, and ensure stable quality of the final printed product. In short, ensuring the stable quality of printed products requires avoiding the side effects of adverse factors on printing quality in actual production, fully exploring the promoting effect of favorable factors, and only in this way can the stable quality of printed products be guaranteed.
