3 Advantages and disadvantages of composite printing
Due to the use of network plate printing, centralized printing, cost-sharing method, the printing cost is greatly reduced. In Guangzhou, for example, the use of composite printing A4 color page thousand quotation is only 350 yuan, while the traditional single printing method is several times the price of composite printing. The advantages of composite printing are low unit price, a small amount can be produced, fast delivery, and can meet the general brand communication commercial printing quality and print volume needs. The disadvantage is that the combination printing will inevitably cause the problem of color difference, suggestions: 1, establish a unified color management process, the customer's documents should first go through the adjustment of the drawing and then collage printing; 2, the same color printing according to the longitudinal column; 3, if the customer is very strict about the color, it is required to be printed independently in accordance with the longitudinal version or the traditional printing method. In order to avoid the problem of color deviation in combination printing, it is necessary to use the color design of CMYK mode during production, and it is not recommended to use RGB mode to avoid color deviation disputes after combination printing. If the color requirements are very high, it is recommended to print independently according to the traditional printing method.
