David Forrester Zamith<\/strong>, Chairman da Ruy de Lacerda<\/strong>, discute a necessidade de tecnologias inovadoras e automa\u00e7\u00e3o no processo de pr\u00e9-impress\u00e3o, incluindo a aquisi\u00e7\u00e3o do G-STRETCH 270 UV BOND LED, da Gr\u00fcnig-Interscreen, \u00a0pela Ruy de Lacerda.<\/p>\n

O uso de tecnologias modernas e automa\u00e7\u00e3o no processo de pr\u00e9-impress\u00e3o \u00e9 fundamental. Ajuda a garantir a precis\u00e3o final de um trabalho de impress\u00e3o e a reprodutibilidade sem erros. Com o suporte digital, a pr\u00e9-impress\u00e3o pode resultar num processo mais r\u00e1pido e com qualidade melhorada. Tamb\u00e9m contribui para eliminar desperd\u00edcios de impress\u00e3o e promove a diferencia\u00e7\u00e3o dos trabalhos.<\/p>\n

Tradicionalmente, a pr\u00e9-impress\u00e3o inclu\u00eda a prepara\u00e7\u00e3o da arte para a tecnologia de impress\u00e3o, provas, verifica\u00e7\u00f5es de controlo de qualidade e a produ\u00e7\u00e3o de ecr\u00e3s de impress\u00e3o. Mais recentemente, a gest\u00e3o digital e a automa\u00e7\u00e3o trouxeram novos fatores e oportunidades para a ind\u00fastria de impress\u00e3o. Todas as tecnologias de impress\u00e3o beneficiam enormemente de inova\u00e7\u00f5es tecnol\u00f3gicas em automa\u00e7\u00e3o e de uma mentalidade voltada para a sustentabilidade.<\/p>\n

TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS EM SERIGRAFIA<\/strong>
Hoje, o uso regular dos processos de pr\u00e9-impress\u00e3o \u00e9 apoiado por tecnologias digitais (Ind\u00fastria 4.0, IA e forma\u00e7\u00e3o) para todas as tecnologias de impress\u00e3o. Isso inclui a gest\u00e3o de imagens gr\u00e1ficas, etapas de processo facilitadas e aumento da produtividade. Economias significativas de custos em estruturas existentes ou um retorno mais r\u00e1pido sobre o investimento (ROI) em novas implementa\u00e7\u00f5es s\u00e3o vantagens adicionais. Os processos de digitaliza\u00e7\u00e3o podem levar a novos m\u00e9todos de impress\u00e3o \u2013 como a impress\u00e3o digital \u2013 de maneira revolucion\u00e1ria e diversificada. Esses m\u00e9todos criam novas oportunidades de neg\u00f3cios em \u00e1reas de aplica\u00e7\u00e3o antes inimagin\u00e1veis. Todas as outras tecnologias de impress\u00e3o, como offset ou flexo, tamb\u00e9m apresentam enormes benef\u00edcios. A pr\u00e9-impress\u00e3o \u00e9 um fator chave para os benef\u00edcios digitais e o processo de automa\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Prepress as the Key Factor in the Screen-Printing Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Forrester Zamith, Chairman of Ruy de Lacerda, discusses the need for innovative technologies and automation in the prepress process, including the acquisition of the G-STRETCH 270 UV BOND LED from Gr\u00fcnig-Interscreen by Ruy de Lacerda.<\/p>\n

The use of modern technologies and automation in the prepress process is essential. It helps ensure the final accuracy of a print job and flawless reproducibility. With digital support, prepress can result in a faster process with improved quality. It also helps eliminate printing waste and promotes job differentiation.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, prepress included preparing artwork for printing technology, proofs, quality control checks and the production of screens. More recently, digital management and automation have introduced new factors and opportunities for the printing industry. All printing technologies greatly benefit from technological innovations in automation and a sustainability-driven mindset.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN SCREEN PRINTING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, the regular use of prepress processes is supported by digital technologies (Industry 4.0, AI, and training) across all printing technologies. This includes graphic image management, streamlined process steps and increased productivity. Significant cost savings in existing structures or a faster return on investment (ROI) in new implementations are additional advantages. Digitalization processes can lead to revolutionary and diverse new printing methods, such as digital printing, creating new business opportunities in previously unimaginable application areas. All other printing technologies, such as offset or flexo, also offer enormous benefits. Prepress is a key factor in digital benefits and the automation process.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

SCREEN PRODUCTION (SCREEN PRINTING FRAMES)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screen production (screen printing frames) is one of the most important aspects of screen-printing technology. It is crucial for faithful image reproduction, consistent reliability, repeatability and sustainability.<\/p>\n

Using automated and state-of-the-art technologies, screen production leverages data sharing and digitalization with fully automatic units. Examples include computer-to-screen (CtS) technologies from @SignTronic and stretching technologies from @Gr\u00fcnig-Interscreen. These systems create an entirely new approach to sustainability in the screen-printing industry.<\/p>\n

Just like in offset or flexo, screen printing technology has seen significant improvements in prepress overall and screen production in particular. CtS has been a key factor in the survival of this printing method.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

G-STRETCH 270 UV BOND LED<\/strong><\/p>\n

Production environment conditioning and continuous team training are essential factors for efficiency and productivity. The selection of high-quality screens, squeegee preparation, and sharpening are also important considerations.<\/p>\n

New and revolutionary examples are emerging after extensive testing and technological analysis, with a strong focus on automation, quality, productivity, and sustainability. Decisions have been made to adopt the fully automatic screen tensioning equipment from Gr\u00fcnig-Interscreen, model G-STRETCH 270 UV BOND LED. This model offers PLC control, UV bonding, and LED curing in a fully automated digital process. It enables the automatic, sustainable, and environmentally friendly creation of screens, aligning with the European Green Deal Industrial Plan.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

ROI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruy de Lacerda believes that cost-benefit analysis, ROI, and differentiation in all production investments are essential. Today, the screen-printing industry, among others, plays a role in Industry 4.0. In the progress of digitalization and automation, the demand for innovative technologies, standardized processes, flexibility, and simplicity is crucial.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

SUSTAINABILITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Increasingly, policymakers, such as the EU\u2019s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) guidelines business leaders and banking systems are seeking a global perspective on sustainability. The ESG goal is to take better care of our planet (E), employees (S), and the economic governance (G) of companies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

CTS TECHNOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nowadays, it is essential for screen printing to achieve fundamental technological factors such as perfect image reproduction, job repeatability and flawless screen production. Additionally, cured emulsion and contributions to sustainability in energy, water and waste reduction are essential.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI), rapid responses, competencies, skills, and training are crucial. Continuous improvement and the proper use of digitalization in automation are part of current and future solutions in graphic industry production lines.<\/p>\n

Screen printing technology was strongly represented at Drupa 2024 in D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany, in the ESMA Pavilion, dedicated to industrial and functional printing applications.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
