The gap between China's printing equipment and equipment (international)

The traditional middle and low-end prepress equipment can basically meet the demand for the inner products, while the high-end equipment basically depends on the imports. Such as high-end scanners, high-precision automatic laser imagesetters, color printers and so on.
2. The gap of printing equipment: It is mainly products with less function automation, low level of intelligent control, and poor reliability. Therefore, the supply and demand of middle and low-end products are balanced or oversupply, and high-end equipment mainly depends on imports.
In 1999, China imported 675 million U.S. dollars worth of printing equipment and spare parts, and exported 16.18 million U.S. dollars. The import and export ratio is 4171. The ratio of imports to domestic sales is about 1.871. That is, domestic equipment accounts for about 35% of the total domestic market.
In 1999, it imported 345 million U.S. dollars worth of offset printing presses. About 70% of the domestic market. Relevant data show that only the Heidelberger company's sales of offset presses entering the Chinese market from 1999 to 2000 were approximately equal to the total sales of home-made offset presses in 1999. In offset presses, single- and double-color offset presses have dominated domestic machines, while multi-color plastic machines with higher technological content have dominated domestic ones, while multi-color offset presses with higher technological content have mainly imported ones. According to statistics, since the reform and opening up, imported multicolor sheetfed offset presses accounted for about ten thousand kilowatts in the domestic market and the market share of domestic sheetfed offset presses decreased year by year. There are data indicating that imported sheetfed offset presses 420 from 1998 to 1999. Taiwan, domestic machine 79, imported machine market share of 84.17% in the web offset press, the situation is more serious, commercial web offset press about 30 domestic, only one is a domestic machine.
More than 200 domestically-imported flexo presses have been imported, accounting for more than 90% of the domestic market.
More than 420 imported equipment for gravure presses in the mid-range and above, most of the market is occupied by domestic aircraft.
With the development of digital printing presses, the country has just begun to study, and now all rely on imports.
3. Post-press equipment gap: mainly incomplete varieties, product automation, low level of intelligent control, high-end equipment mainly rely on imports.
At present, domestically-made die-cutting machines, paper cutters, and horse-riding staplers basically meet the demand, and only a few high-grade equipment are imported. The main difference is that the automation and intelligent control of domestic equipment needs to be further improved, and the appearance quality needs to be improved.
High-end flat-packed joints, high-end hardcover co-motivators, high-end folder-gluers, bag-making machines, high-grade glazing machines, circular presses and die-cutting machines, high-end slitting machines, carton production lines, dry wet-laid compounding machines, ticket production lines and other equipment There is a larger import. Domestic equipment is mainly automated, intelligent control level is low, and reliability can be improved.
4. The main gap of printing equipment:
There is a wide variety of printing equipment. The overall gap is incomplete varieties and the quality of products is huge. High-grade equipment mainly depends on imports. Offset plate: CTP plate, all rely on imports; domestic CTP plate although research, but the speed is too slow. Ordinary PS version, the production capacity is greater than the demand, some high-end PS version still need to import, negative version PS version basically rely on imports.
Flexo plate: Medium and low flexo plates can be produced domestically, and high-grade flexo plates need to be imported. According to statistics, domestic demand in 1999 was 100,000 square meters, and about 90% needed import.
Film: At present, the quality of laser image films is largely different from that of foreign countries.
Ink: At present, UV inks, inkjet inks for color TVs, inks for modern office supplies, and thermosetting inks are widely separated from foreign countries. Some quality needs to be further improved, and some are still blank in China.
Blanket: Ordinary blankets can basically meet domestic demand. High-grade air-cushion blankets mainly depend on imports. Domestic blankets can not meet the need for high-speed printing.
Paper: The high-grade printing paper and paperboard parts need to be imported. In 1999, more than 8 million tons of domestic paper and paperboard were printed, and 6.5 million tons were imported, accounting for about 45%.
