Challenges for the Printing Industry powerpointCavendish
Colin Thompson of Cavendish presented on the challenges facing the printing industry. The current position of the industry faces technological changes that require shifts in strategy, people, technology, customer service and management information systems. The future depends on delighting customers, teamwork, and measuring returns through a strategic business plan that allocates resources effectively across these areas. Success requires adapting to changes through a journey of continuous improvement.
This presentation at the RIT CMIC Symposium was created 'last minute'. One presentation, on 'Print Strategy in Europe', was cancelled because the presenter didn't make it to the conference. I volunteered to assemble some figures from the printing industry in Belgium and Germany.
The document discusses several common printing processes: photocopying/xerography, offset lithography, flexography, gravure, and screenprinting. For each process, it describes the basic steps, common applications, advantages, and disadvantages. Photocopying involves transferring an image onto paper using static electricity and light. Offset lithography uses inked plates to transfer images onto a rubber cylinder and then paper. Flexography is used for packaging and uses inked flexible plates to print. Gravure etching involves engraving images onto cylinders and filling the etched areas with ink. Screenprinting uses screens with blocked images to push ink onto fabrics or paper.
The document discusses the printing industry, including both conventional and digital printing methods. It provides details on common printing processes like offset, gravure, flexo, and digital printing methods. It then summarizes the types of products suited for each process and discusses factors like quality and run length. Key aspects of the printing workflow are outlined, such as file formats, design and layout programs, color conversion, imposition, plate making, and finishing. Production costs are broken down, with the largest expenses being paper, printing, and production. Revenue sources for publishers are also listed.
The document provides information about the Indian print media industry. It discusses that the industry is one of the largest in the world with a 20% global market share. It also notes that the industry grew by 8.3% from 2010 to 2011. The main revenue sources for newspapers and magazines are advertising and circulation. Advertising makes up a larger portion of revenue than circulation. The industry is dominated by newspapers, which make up around 95% of the market, with magazines accounting for the remaining 5%.
Screen printing uses stencils to transfer images onto surfaces through a fabric screen. The stencil blocks ink from passing through in some areas while allowing it in others to create the image. Carousel screen printing uses multiple screens on a rotating mechanism to print with different colors more quickly and efficiently. Screen printing is commonly used to apply graphics and logos to products. Photocopying uses a dry toner instead of liquid ink in a non-contact printing process, allowing images to be reproduced in different sizes. Gravure printing employs an engraved plate to hold ink which is applied to paper to create high-quality art and photography books. Offset lithography uses oil and gum to divide a smooth plate surface into ink-accepting and ink

The document discusses the transition in the printing industry from craft to standardized digital processes. It describes how the ISO 12647 standard was developed to standardize color output across different printing methods and materials. Adopting these process standards improves color consistency and predictability. It allows errors to be detected earlier in the workflow. The document outlines the key aspects of ISO 12647-2 for offset and digital printing, including the FOGRA characteristic data and ICC profiles used to ensure colors are reproduced accurately according to the standard. Printing companies must now use spectrophotometers for color proofing and certification to meet ISO requirements.

This document discusses printing standards and color management. It summarizes the history of printing standards and the ISO 12647 standard in particular. It then discusses some issues that have arisen with interpreting aspects of the ISO 12647 standard, including paper shade specifications that do not match most commercial paper grades and color gamut targets that do not always match what can be achieved in press. The document reports on studies conducted by the authors to better characterize paper properties in relation to these standards, finding that a wide range of commercial papers can achieve similar color gamuts and that fluorescence effects must be accounted for in color management. It concludes that while standards provide benefits, some aspects require revision or flexible interpretation to accommodate the full range of commercial printing conditions.
This talk by Clive Ayling, Managing Director, Meteor Inkjet Ltd, at the IMI InPrint USA conference, April 2017, highlights the key considerations in making the most important design decision for ink jet printing systems - printhead selection. Printheads are the highest cost system component and printer performance and output quality are dependent on printhead characteristics and specifications.
Learn the key parameters and methodology to make an informed printhead selection decision for your industrial ink jet system.
This document describes a project to design an H.264 video decoder using Verilog. It implements the key decoding blocks like Context-Based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC), inverse quantization, and inverse discrete cosine transform. CABAC is the entropy decoding method used in H.264 that is computationally intensive. The project develops hardware modules for these blocks to accelerate decoding and enable real-time performance. It presents the designs of the individual modules and simulation results showing their functionality. The goal is to improve on software implementations by using dedicated hardware for the critical decoding stages.
Colour management aims to standardize colour reproduction across different devices and stages of the printing workflow. It involves using colour profiles and colour spaces to translate colours between devices and map colours that fall outside a device's gamut. Paper plays a key role in colour management by influencing colour gamut, dot gain, and luminance. Standardized printing as defined in ISO 12647-2 specifies paper groups, CMYK and RGB colour targets, dot gain targets, and tolerances to help ensure colour consistency. Sappi provides services like prepress recommendations, colour management consultations, print quality evaluations, and trainings to help customers achieve high and consistent print quality.

Vieworks' TDI line scan cameras are based on new innovative “hybrid” sensor technology. The sensors combine CMOS and CCD. The base sensor has is a classic CMOS structure with much faster readout speeds and lower power consumption. However the sensors use CCD photo cells to capture the images and CCD technology still offers higher dynamic range and better image quality. In addition, the integration and transfer of stages is done by moving charge in CCDs, making this process virtually noiseless. The TDI line scan cameras based on these new hybrid imaging sensors allows image captures as fast as 250 kHz line rates with up to 256 stages. They are designed for applications where faster line rates and higher sensitivity are critical.
H.264 and VC-1 are two video compression standards. While H.264 is an open standard, VC-1 was initially developed by Microsoft. Transcoding involves converting a video from one compression format to another. Transcoding H.264 to VC-1 allows content in both formats to be viewed by any VC-1 decoder. Compared to H.264, VC-1 requires less computational power while still providing good compression and quality, especially at bit rates around 6-8 Mbps. Both standards use techniques like block-based transforms, motion compensation, and entropy coding.

1. The document discusses video compression technology, including digital television formats, video compression standards like MPEG-2 and H.264, video quality metrics, and video coding concepts.
2. Key video coding concepts covered are temporal compression using motion estimation and compensation between frames, spatial compression within frames using DCT transform and quantization, and entropy coding of coefficients.
3. Video compression aims to reduce the data required for transmission by removing spatial and temporal redundancy in video sequences.
The document summarizes key video coding standards including H.261, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.263, MPEG-4, and H.264. It describes their applications, coding tools, profiles, and roles in important technologies. H.261 was the earliest standard for videoconferencing over ISDN. MPEG-1 enabled video on CDs. MPEG-2 allowed digital TV and DVD. Later standards added features for improved compression and functionality at lower bitrates.
