● Digital Pre-press Software and Equipment

● Digitized Finishing Equip & Converting Equipment

● Nozzle & Board Cars& Inks & Other Consumables and Spare Parts

Highlight Preview

Highlight 1:

AI-Driven Whole-Process Automation

Seeking solutions that deeply integrate artificial intelligence into production processes

● Intelligent pre-printing: AI-powered automatic graphic and text processing, intelligent imposition, and defect detection significantly reduce manual intervention and time.

● Intelligent color management: AI ensures high color consistency across different batches and equipment, addressing traditional proofing challenges.

● Automated production process: "One-click" automated production lines from file to finished product reduces reliance on highly skilled operators.

Highlight 2:

Breakthroughs in Industrial-Scale Mass Production Feasibility

Short-to-medium-run packaging mainstream has opened to digital printing

● High-speed industrial-grade equipment: The digital printer with faster displaying speeds, higher stability, and capability for 24/7 continuous production.

● Integrated production lines: The one-stop, whole-process inline production, such as "digital printing, slotting, and stitching lines for carton boxes", "digital roll-fed pre-printing, laminating, and cutting machines for folding cartons", and "digital printing+flexographic printing+cold foil+varnish+laminating for labels", seamlessly connects digital printing with traditional post-press processing, truly enabling true industrial-scale output.

● Expansion to new substrates: Demonstrate high-quality results comparable to traditional printing on coated paper, cardboard, white top liner, and even flexible packaging materials.

Highlight 3:

Innovative Techniques and Special Effects

Unlocking New Possibilities for Special Effects: Digital Printing Drives Product Value Upgrade

● White ink printing: Apply white ink as a base on dark or transparent materials before overlaying colors to achieve bright patterns, making it a highlight for labels and transparent packaging.

● Spot colors and high-fidelity color: Use the new technique combination of "white ink/single black/color ink" to break color gamut limitations and enable precise reproduction of brand-specific colors (e.g., Coca-Cola red) and stronger visual impact.

● Effect enhancement techniques: Inline or offline finishing effects such as spot UV coating, tactile films, and 3D embossing.

● Diversified ink solutions: Simultaneously achieve UV gold foil stamping, varnish, and four-color printing to improve quality and efficiency. Solutions combining fluorescent UV, anti-counterfeit UV, cylindrical UV enhancement varnish, and foil stamping processes.

Highlight 4:

Cost Reduction & Efficiency Improvement, and Rapid Market Response

Digital Solutions for Industry Pain Points: Reducing Proofing Costs, Shortening Cycles, Alleviating Inventory Pressures

● Digital proofing: Directly use production-grade equipment for high-quality finished product proofing to achieve "what you see is what you get" and significantly reduce proofing costs and shorten time-to-market cycles.

● On-demand production: Enable "printing from a single sheet, each sheet unique" to effectively address personalized marketing, limited edition releases, and achieve zero-inventory production models.

Highlight 5:

Expansion of Personalized and Customized Applications

Expanding Market Frontiers with Digital Printing Innovations

● Special-shaped packaging customization: Live demonstration of direct printing solutions on complex substrates such as cylinders (e.g., beverage cans), acrylics, paper bags, paper-plastic composites, and glass bottles.

● Variable data printing: Enable large-scale variable printing of QR codes, serial numbers, and personalized graphics/text for traceability, marketing interaction, and anti-counterfeiting.

● Small-batch customization: Serve markets requiring rapid, small-batch customized packaging, including e-commerce brands, new consumer brands, and holiday gifts.
