Newspaper printing is a race against time. Under the premise of guaranteeing quality, it requires every production link to be very efficient to meet the requirements of the newspaper publishing cycle. Nowadays, the printing price of newspapers is close to the cost. Under such circumstances, how can the profit of newspaper printing be obtained? In the environment where open source is not easy to control, controlling costs has become a magic weapon for many newspaper printing companies to enhance their competitive power. The introduction of leading equipment and technology to achieve economies of scale and reduce production costs is a good method. At the same time, it can also be used to make papers on the cost control of paper.
Color and number of printed newspapers
Reel newsprint is generally damaged before it is used, and newspapers need to be reported in the process of printing, so there is bound to be paper consumption. The manager of the China Youth Daily Printing Factory, Lan Ning, said: When discussing with customers about the printing business, the biggest issue besides the printing price is paper consumption. In the case of other newspapers as reference, the two parties negotiated and finally reached A level acceptable to each other.
The printing press business of newspapers generally belongs to the category of processing. Therefore, the variety of papers used in actual production and the quality are uneven, all of which will involve paper consumption issues. The amount of paper consumed is related to the number of newspapers. The newspaper is black and white or color. It is single-sided or double-sided. The more papers the paper has, the greater the paper consumption. The paper consumption is related to the number of printed newspapers. If yes Eight sheets of printing are printed together, one of the sheets is invalidated, and the other sheet is also invalidated. Therefore, the more sheets the newspaper has, the greater the paper consumption.
Paper storage
In the interview, the reporter learned that the problem of paper storage has a great deal of pressure on the printing houses of newspapers, and everybody generally has a situation of “putting paper in the yardâ€. Speaking of this issue, the director of Blue said: The location of the China Youth Daily printing press is in the middle of the Second Ring Road. It is not realistic to build a paper bank in this piece of land that is very expensive. Therefore, our paper library is not very large. Only some paper can be placed in the open air and stacked in the yard.
There are also some coups that face the same problem of paper storage. According to the director of the Shenzhen Business Printing Co., Ltd., Mr. He Shikai, they used the method of renting a customs temporary storage warehouse to ease the tension in the paper storage of the factory.
Printing Equipment
(1) Equipment performance
The reporting rate is an important indicator to measure the production management level of a newspaper printing factory. The performance of the equipment directly affects the reporting rate. An excellent device will greatly reduce the waste reporting rate and will also reduce paper waste accordingly. Nowadays, the working principle of the press has been adopted in one color, one color, and the other. Regardless of the personnel factor, in general, the newspaper printer using the simultaneous pressure principle has better newspaper printing quality and higher reporting rate. Therefore, when a newspaper printing company invests heavily in investment newspapers, it must do a good job of market research in terms of equipment performance.
(2) Equipment Management
Equipment management and paper management are a unity of interests. They are mutually prerequisite. The printing press equipment of the newspapers is almost always in full working condition, especially at night. Evening newspapers such as the Beijing Evening News and the Jinghua Times and the Beijing Youth Daily are all published 365 days. The China Travel News has been added to the holiday season. Therefore, the equipment is printed and printed. The lifeline can never be a problem.
In the production process, operators must continuously accumulate experience, summarize laws, find out equipment management methods that suit the characteristics of the factory, and make correct judgments on equipment failures in advance so that they can prevent problems. It is understood that the printing practice of the Shenzhen Business Newspaper Co., Ltd. is that there are special maintenance personnel in the daily routine to test and record each tracking point randomly. Once an abnormal phenomenon is found, the failure shall be analyzed, judged, and organized to repair the equipment. . After adopting such a device management method, many equipment problems of the printing factory of Shenzhen Business Daily were eliminated in advance, so that the repair rate was greatly reduced, and paper waste was reduced.
The equipment management in the usual sense includes three aspects of operation, maintenance, and maintenance. Three aspects of management in the newspaper printing production process are indispensable. In addition, the particularity of the newspaper printing plant in terms of equipment management is also reflected in the fact that all its equipment is backed up, from prepress to printing, photosetters, printing machines, washing machines, CTP equipment, printing machines and other equipment are not unique In the production process, backup devices are also used.
