Ilebula kanye ne-corrugated sekuvele kukhulu, kanti amabhokisi okupakisha aguquguqukayo kanye nokugoqwa nawo akhula.
Ukuphrinta kwedijithali kokupakishaisihambe ibanga elide kusukela ezinsukwini zayo zokuqala zokusetshenziswa ngokuyinhloko ekuphrinteni amakhodi kanye nezinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi. Namuhla, amaphrinta edijithali anengxenye ebalulekile yelebula kanye nokuphrinta kwewebhu okunciphile, futhi ayanda emabhokisini ahlanganisiwe, agoqwayo ngisho nangamaphakheji aguquguqukayo.
UGary Barnes, inhloko yezokuthengisa nokumaketha,Iqembu Lezixazululo Ze-Ink le-FUJIFILM, baqaphele ukuthi ukuphrinta kwe-inkjet emaphaketheni kuyakhula ezindaweni eziningana.
“Ukunyathelisa amalebula sekuqalile futhi kuyaqhubeka nokukhula, i-corrugated isiqala ukuqina, ibhokisi eligoqekayo liyakhula ngamandla, futhi ukupakishwa okuguquguqukayo sekuyasebenza manje,” kusho uBarnes. “Kulezo zinto, ubuchwepheshe obuyinhloko yi-UV yokulebula, i-corrugated kanye nebhokisi eligoqekayo, kanye nombala wamanzi ekupakishweni okugoqekayo, okuguquguqukayo kanye nebhokisi eligoqekayo.”
UMike Pruitt, umphathi omkhulu womkhiqizo,I-Epson America, Inc., uthe i-Epson ibona ukukhula emkhakheni wokunyathelisa i-inkjet, ikakhulukazi embonini yamalebula.
“Ukunyathelisa ngedijithali sekuyinto evamile, futhi kuvamile ukubona imishini yokushicilela ye-analog ihlanganisa ubuchwepheshe bokunyathelisa be-analog kanye nobedijithali,” kusho uPruitt. “Le ndlela ehlanganisiwe isebenzisa amandla azo zombili izindlela, okuvumela ukuguquguquka okukhulu, ukusebenza kahle, kanye nokwenza ngezifiso izixazululo zokupakisha.”
USimon Daplyn, umphathi womkhiqizo nokumaketha,Amakhemikhali Elanga, uthe i-Sun Chemical ibona ukukhula kuzo zonke izingxenye ezahlukene zokupakisha zokunyathelisa kwedijithali ezimakethe ezisunguliwe njengamalebula nakwezinye izingxenye ezisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokunyathelisa kwedijithali bokuhlobisa okuhlanganisiwe, insimbi, ibhokisi eligoqwayo, ifilimu eguquguqukayo kanye nokunyathelisa okuqondile kuya esimweni.
“I-inkjet isimeme kahle emakethe yamalebula ngokuba khona okukhulu kwe-inki nezinhlelo ze-UV LED eziletha ikhwalithi ephezulu,” kuphawula uDaplyn. “Ukuhlanganiswa kobuchwepheshe be-UV nezinye izixazululo ezintsha zamanzi kuyaqhubeka nokukhula njengoba izinto ezintsha ku-inki wamanzi zisiza ekukhuthazeni ukwamukelwa.”
UMelissa Bosnyak, umphathi wephrojekthi, izixazululo zokupakisha ezisimeme,Ubuchwepheshe be-Videojet, baqaphele ukuthi ukuphrinta kwe-inkjet kuyakhula njengoba kunakekela izinhlobo ezintsha zokupakisha, izinto zokwakha, kanye nezitayela, kanye nesidingo sokuzinza njengesizathu esiyinhloko.
“Isibonelo, ukuqhubekela phambili ekusetshenzisweni kabusha kukhuthaze ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezi-mono ekupakisheni,” kuphawula uBosnyak. “Ngokuhambisana nalolu shintsho, i-Videojet muva nje yethule i-inki ye-inkjet elinde ilungelo lobunikazi eyenzelwe ngqo ukuhlinzeka ngokumelana nokuklwebheka okuphezulu, ikakhulukazi ekupakisheni kwezinto ezi-mono ezisetshenziswa kabanzi okuhlanganisa i-HDPE, i-LDPE, ne-BOPP. Siphinde sibone ukukhula kwe-inkjet ngenxa yesifiso esikhulu sokuphrinta okunamandla kakhulu. Imikhankaso yokumaketha eqondiwe iyimbangela enkulu yalokhu.”
“Njengoba sibheka phambili njengomholi womhlaba wonke kwezobuchwepheshe be-inkjet yokushisa (i-TIJ), sibona ukukhula kwemakethe okuqhubekayo kanye nokusetshenziswa okwengeziwe kwe-inkjet yokubhala amakhodi ephakheji, ikakhulukazi i-TIJ,” kusho u-Olivier Bastien,Ama-HPumphathi wesigaba sebhizinisi kanye nemikhiqizo yesikhathi esizayo - ukufaka amakhodi nokumaka, i-Specialty Printing Technology Solutions. “I-Inkjet ihlukaniswe ngezinhlobo ezahlukene zobuchwepheshe bokuphrinta, okungukuthi i-inki jet eqhubekayo, i-piezo ink jet, i-laser, i-thermal transfer overprinting kanye ne-TIJ. Izixazululo ze-TIJ zihlanzekile, kulula ukuzisebenzisa, zithembekile, azinaphunga, nokuningi, okunikeza ubuchwepheshe inzuzo kunezinye izindlela zemboni. Okuningi kwalokhu kuyingxenye yentuthuko yakamuva yezobuchwepheshe kanye nemithethonqubo emhlabeni wonke edinga i-inki ehlanzekile kanye nezidingo eziqinile zokulandelela nokulandelela ukuze kugcinwe ukuphepha kokupakisha kuphambili ekusungulweni kwezinto ezintsha.”
“Kunezinye izimakethe, njengezilebula, ebezilokhu zisebenza ku-inkjet yedijithali isikhathi esithile futhi ziqhubeka nokwandisa okuqukethwe kwedijithali,” kusho uPaul Edwards, iPhini likaSekela-Mongameli weDigital division e-I-INX International"Izixazululo zokuphrinta ngqo kanye nokufakwa kwezinto kuyakhula, futhi intshisekelo ekupakishweni okuhlanganisiwe iyaqhubeka nokukhula. Ukukhula kokuhlobisa insimbi kusha kodwa kuyashesha, futhi ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo kukhula kancane."
Izimakethe Zokukhula
Ngasohlangothini lokupakisha, ukuphrinta kwedijithali kwenze kahle kakhulu kumalebula, lapho kunengxenye ethile yesine yemakethe.
“Njengamanje, ukuphrinta kwedijithali kuthola impumelelo enkulu ngamalebula aphrintiwe, ikakhulukazi ngezinqubo ze-UV ne-UV LED ezihlinzeka ngekhwalithi nokusebenza okuhle kakhulu kokuphrinta,” kusho uDaplyn. “Ukuphrinta kwedijithali kungahlangabezana futhi kuvame ukudlula okulindelwe yimakethe ngokuya ngesivinini, ikhwalithi, isikhathi sokuphrinta kanye nomsebenzi, kuzuza ngokwanda kwamandla okuklama, ukusebenza kahle kwezindleko ngevolumu ephansi kanye nokusebenza kombala.”
“Ngokuphathelene nokuhlonza umkhiqizo kanye nokubhala ikhodi yamaphakheji, ukuphrinta kwedijithali sekunesikhathi eside kukhona emigqeni yokupakisha,” kusho uBosnyak. “Okuqukethwe okubalulekile nokuguquguqukayo okukhushulwayo, okuhlanganisa izinsuku, ulwazi lokukhiqiza, amanani, amabhakhodi, kanye nezithako/ulwazi lokudla okunempilo, kungaphrintwa ngamaphrinta e-inkjet yedijithali kanye nobunye ubuchwepheshe bedijithali ezindaweni ezahlukene kuyo yonke inqubo yokupakisha.”
UBastien waphawula ukuthi ukuphrinta kwedijithali kukhula ngokushesha kuzo zonke izinhlelo zokusebenza zokuphrinta ezahlukahlukene, ikakhulukazi ezinhlelweni zokusebenza lapho kudingeka khona idatha eguquguqukayo kanye nokwenza ngokwezifiso kanye nokwenza ngokwezifiso kwamukelwa khona. “Izibonelo ezinhle zifaka phakathi ukuphrinta ulwazi oluguquguqukayo ngqo kumalebula okunamathelayo, noma ukuphrinta ngokuqondile umbhalo, ama-logo, nezinye izinto emabhokisini ahlanganisiwe,” kusho uBastien. “Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuphrinta kwedijithali kungena ekupakisheni okuguquguqukayo kanye namabhokisi ahlanganisiwe ngokuvumela ukuphrinta ngqo kolwazi olubalulekile njengamakhodi osuku, amabhakhodi, namakhodi e-QR.”
“Ngikholwa ukuthi amalebula azoqhubeka nendlela yokusetshenziswa kancane kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi,” kusho u-Edwards. “Ukungena kwewebhu okuncane kuzokhula njengoba ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe kumaphrinta ahamba nge-single-pass kanye nobuchwepheshe be-inki obuhambisanayo kuqhubeka. Ukukhula kwe-corrugated kuzoqhubeka nokukhula lapho inzuzo yemikhiqizo ehlotshiswe kakhulu ibaluleke kakhulu. Ukungena kwi-metal deco sekusha kakhulu, kodwa kunethuba elihle lokwenza umehluko omkhulu njengoba ubuchwepheshe bubhekana nezinhlelo zokusebenza ngezinga eliphezulu ngezinketho ezintsha zephrinta kanye ne-inki.”
UBarnes uthe intuthuko enkulu kakhulu isesigabeni.
“Imishini enobubanzi obuncane, enefomethi encane inikeza inzuzo enhle kanye nokuqina komkhiqizo,” enezela. “Izinhlelo zokusebenza zamalebula zivame ukufaneleka kakhulu kwedijithali ngobude obuphansi bokusebenza kanye nezidingo zokuguqulwa. Kuzoba nokwanda kokupakisha okuguquguqukayo, lapho idijithali ifaneleka kakhulu kuleyo makethe. Ezinye izinkampani zizokwenza utshalomali olukhulu ku-corrugated - iyeza, kodwa iyimakethe enomthamo omkhulu.”
Izindawo Zokukhula Zesikhathi Esizayo
Iphi imakethe elandelayo yokunyathelisa ngedijithali ezozuza isabelo esikhulu? UBarnes we-FUJIFILM ukhombe ekupakisheni okuguquguqukayo, ngenxa yokulungela ubuchwepheshe kwe-hardware kanye ne-inki chemistry esekwe emanzini ukuze kufezwe ikhwalithi ngesivinini sokukhiqiza esamukelekayo kuma-substrate efilimu, kanye nokuhlanganiswa kokunyatheliswa kwe-inkjet emigqeni yokupakisha kanye nokugcwaliseka, ngenxa yokusetshenziswa okulula kanye nokutholakala kwamabha okunyathelisa asevele enziwe.
“Ngikholwa ukuthi ukwanda okulandelayo okukhulu ekupakisheni kwedijithali kusekupakisheni okuguquguqukayo ngenxa yokuthandwa kwayo okukhulayo phakathi kwabathengi ngenxa yokulula kwayo nokuphatheka kalula,” kusho uPruitt. “Ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo kusebenzisa izinto ezincane, okuhambisana nezitayela zokusimama, futhi kuvumela izinga eliphezulu lokwenza ngokwezifiso nokwenza ngokwezifiso, okusiza imikhiqizo ukuthi ihlukanise umkhiqizo wayo.”
UBastien ukholelwa ukuthi ukwanda okukhulu okulandelayo kokunyathelisa amaphakheji edijithali kuzoqhutshwa yisinyathelo somhlaba wonke se-GS1.
“Uhlelo lwe-GS1 lomhlaba wonke lwamakhodi e-QR ayinkimbinkimbi kanye nedatha yazo zonke izimpahla zamaphakheji zabathengi ngo-2027 lunikeza ithuba elikhulu lokukhula ekuphrinteni amaphakheji edijithali,” kusho uBastien.
“Kukhona isifiso esikhulayo sokuqukethwe okuphrintiwe okwenziwe ngokwezifiso nokuxhumanayo,” kusho uBosnyak. “Amakhodi e-QR nemiyalezo eyenzelwe wena sekuba izindlela ezinamandla zokubamba intshisekelo yamakhasimende, ukukhuthaza ukuxhumana, nokuvikela imikhiqizo, iminikelo yabo, kanye nesisekelo sabathengi.
“Njengoba abakhiqizi bebeka imigomo emisha yokupakisha eqhubekayo, ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo kuye kwanda,” kwenezela uBosnyak. “Ukupakisha okuguquguqukayo kusebenzisa ipulasitiki encane kune-strong futhi kunikeza indawo elula yokuthutha kunezinye izinto zokupakisha, okusiza abasebenzisi ukufeza imigomo yabo yokusimama ngaphandle kokuphazamisa ukusebenza. Abakhiqizi basebenzisa futhi amafilimu aguquguqukayo alungele ukuphinda asetshenziswe ukuze bakhuthaze ukujikeleza kokupakisha.”
“Kungase kube semakethe yokuhlobisa insimbi enezingxenye ezimbili,” kusho u-Edwards. “Kukhula ngokushesha njengoba inzuzo yesikhathi esifushane sedijithali isetshenziswa futhi iqhutshwa yizindawo zokuphuza utshwala ezincane. Lokhu kungenzeka kulandelwe ukuqaliswa ensimini ebanzi ye-metal deco.”
UDaplyn ukhombe ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi sizobona ukwamukelwa okunamandla kokuphrinta kwedijithali kuzo zonke izingxenye ezinkulu ngaphakathi kokupakisha, kanye nethuba elikhulu emakethe yokupakisha eguquguqukayo neguquguqukayo.
“Kukhona ukuheha okukhulu emakethe kwama-ink amanzi kulezi zimakethe ukuze kuphathwe kangcono imigomo yokuthobela imithetho kanye nokusimama,” kusho uDaplyn. “Impumelelo yokuphrinta kwedijithali kulezi zinhlelo zokusebenza izoncika kakhulu ekubambisaneni phakathi kwabahlinzeki be-inki kanye nehadiwe ukuze kuhlinzekwe ubuchwepheshe obusekelwe emanzini obuhlangabezana nezidingo zesivinini nokomisa ezintweni ezahlukahlukene ngenkathi kugcinwa ukuthobela imithetho ezigabeni ezibalulekile, njengokupakisha ukudla. Amathuba okukhula kokuphrinta kwedijithali emakethe ehlanganisiwe ayanda ngezitayela ezifana nokukhangisa ngamabhokisi.”
