Work Flow
Book/Exersice Notebook Print and Postprint Machines
Design Work
-outside and inside content (letters and images)-Paper Size/Printing Color
-Hard Cover or normal cover
Print Plate
-Manual Film is traditional way, Now CTP is another option-Digital Printing Professional ways is fast in research
Print Press
-Offset is normal way; many comes to flexo and inkjetPost Press
-After Printing, now mostly need other treatment according to customer request such as UV coating, Laminating, Foil stamping, Die cutting, Embossing, etcBook Making
-Paper is ok now, what is the next step? Paper cutting, Paper folding, Pages collating/Gathering, Sewing or Glue Binding or Stitching or Double Spiral Wiring, Three-Knife Cutting, Pressing, Delivery. Normal Book is ready! If the book is hardcover book, need prepare the hardcover first and then case-in the book content part in hard cover.-Do all the procedures may work in one machine or separate machines? Now one not very thick book with normal cover, now work with one machine is possible. But most Printing Press companies use separate machines to meet different customer requests and the separate machines investment is less than the one-piece machine.
