More than 180 newspapers around the world are using the Polaris system, including the famous USA Today, LeMonde, WAZ Group and Concentra. The total number of global installations of Agfa Polaris equipment has exceeded 300 units. In China, users of the Polaris system are also increasing. With the 1998 1998 Guangzhou Yangcheng Evening News, the first Polaris equipment has achieved satisfactory results, Wenhui Xinmin United Press Group, Shanghai Printing Technology Research Institute, Hubei Daily Newspaper Printing Factory and so on. Join Polaris users.
The Guangzhou Yangcheng Evening News was the first newspaper to introduce Polaris. Yangcheng Evening News Group is one of the six major newspaper groups in China. The largest newspaper in the city, "Yangcheng Evening News," based in Guangdong and facing the whole country, is one of China's three largest circulations with over one million reports.
In 1998, Yangcheng Evening News cooperated with Agfa, and took "New Express" and "Yangcheng Evening News" as the test subjects, and conducted a comprehensive test on the Arctic star of Agfa's CTP equipment. Through repeated testing and practical application for a period of time, the fully automatic, high-stability and high-speed performance of Polaris has left a deep impression on the staff of the Yangcheng Evening News Group.
For a newspaper with a large circulation, such as the Yangcheng Evening News, it is necessary to timely report the news that took place that morning. The deadline for writing the draft is, of course, the sooner the better. However, from the point of view of newspaper distribution, newspapers cannot be too late on the streets, otherwise they will have a great impact on circulation. The comparison of time between CTP and traditional CTF (computer-based film) shows that: under the same conditions, using Agfa's Polaris plate-making method to output the film from the output machine and then shortening the time of printing will be significantly shortened. The press started more than 15 minutes earlier than a press with a traditional plate. Moreover, the operator of the engine room reflected that the time for printing presses was shortened, and the printing quality was upgraded to a higher level. This just fits in with the needs of the Evening News, which is an important consideration for the Yangtse Evening News to adopt CTP technology. On November 30, 2000, Yangcheng Evening News Group, Agfa (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., and Peking University Founder Electronics Co., Ltd. reached an agreement. The Yangcheng Evening News Group purchased four Agfa Polaris computers through Peking University Founder Group. System (CTP). The four CTP systems include three Polaris 200s and a Polaris 100, and three automatic punching and bending machines are also configured. The above system will be installed at the new printing center of the Yangcheng Evening News Group in early 2001.
Wenhui Xinmin United Press Group is a comprehensive, large-scale newspaper group with extensive influence in China. The Group’s newspapers Wen Wei Po, Xinmin Evening News, and more than ten seed newspapers and sub-professions are distributed throughout the country, both home and abroad. Has a larger circulation.
With the advent of the 21st century, the newspaper industry has developed rapidly. One of the obvious features is the expansion of a large number of newspapers, the black and white color change, and the double-sided color change on one side. This is for many printing companies that still use traditional prepress technology. The pressure is greatly increased. Faced with this situation, Wenhui Xinmin turned its eyes on the CTP direct platemaking machine.
Wenhui Xinmin introduced Agfa’s Polaris for three reasons:
(1) After conducting a large number of investigations from the north to the south, it was found that Polaris is more in line with the needs of newspaper printing.
(2) CTP is a high-tech product with a very high technical content. After sales service is extremely important.
(3) The Shanghai scientific research unit is stepping up the development of the CTP plates. Its equipment adopts Polaris. Once trial production is successful, it can be used without any adjustment.
In early September 2000, the Polaris direct platemaking machine formally entered the Wenhui Xinmin Printing Center, and its effect was quite satisfactory. According to the technical person in charge of the Printing Center, “After a month of trial printing, the output of the printing plate overlay has high precision and good color, and the dot reproduction is 1%-99%, which is obviously more than the traditional plate making. Platemaking is less time-consuming and the operation is simple and quality is guaranteed."
Shanghai Printing Technology Research Institute is a well-known publishing and printing technology application and development research institute. Over the years, it has obtained more than 100 national, deployment, and municipal scientific research achievements. Many of these achievements have filled domestic gaps or reached domestic and foreign advanced technologies. Level. Mr. Zhou Jianbao, executive deputy director of the institute, said: “We have conducted a long-term inspection of the machine before purchasing the equipment. We have considered the following factors: the use of a platform-based plate-making machine; use of models with higher laser power; Choose a device with a large sales volume. The model with these three conditions is the Agfa Polaris Direct Plate System."
The main market orientation of the CTP plate material developed by Shanghai Institute of Institude is the newspaper industry, and the plate type direct plate machine is the new type of main machine used in the newspaper industry in the world. It has an absolute advantage in the sales of the global newspaper industry. At the same time, as a test device, the platform design can be very flexible and easy to install the measured plate. Agfa’s Polaris is a new type of platform-based structure and is currently the only platform-based direct plate-making machine used in the newspaper industry in China.
As a testing machine, the large adjustable range of laser power is very beneficial to the test work. Agfa's Polaris is currently the largest model of laser power (visible light) and is ideally suited for the development of photopolymer CTP plates in Shanghai. Selecting CTP equipment with large sales volume is the most convincing in terms of technology setting and sales promotion.
The printing company of Hubei Daily Press is a leading printing company in the newspapers and periodicals of Hubei Province, and is responsible for more than 50 kinds of newspapers and periodicals such as “Hubei Daily†and “Chutian Metropolis Dailyâ€, “Market Guide Reportâ€, “Sports Weekly†and “Rural New Dailyâ€. In the printing, the daily circulation amounted to nearly 3 million pairs, including over 10 kinds of color newspapers, and the daily circulation volume was 1 million pairs.
According to the person in charge of the printing factory of Hubei Daily, “The timeliness and quality are the key to the success of our introduction of CTP. We have used Agfa’s laser photocopying system and are confident in the quality of Agfa’s equipment and after-sales service. Polaris Direct Plate Making The system has been installed and put into production at our factory, and the CTP version has been successfully printed once on Roland and Gaussian machines. After the CTP system is used, the prepress process is simplified, and the prepress workflow is greatly shortened; the quality of the color report can be easily controlled and improved. Enhance the competitiveness of the newspaper industry."
Due to the large number of traditional processes, the quality of the film and the changes in the development and fixing temperatures all affect the quality of the color newspaper. After the CTP is used, the repeated positioning accuracy is high due to direct exposure on the plate, and the development and fixing settings are accurate. Excessive human factors interfere; the printed plates are clean; the outlets are well restored. As a result, printed color pictures are rich in pictures.
According to the person in charge of the Printing House of Hubei Daily News, “Hubei Daily Printing Factory is the first in China and the first printing company in Hubei Province to use CTP technology. With the continuous development of our plant business and the reduction of the cost of CTP plates, we will Consider purchasing more CTP equipment."
For the CTP market, Agfa is very optimistic. In the next three years or so, we will see the widespread use of all-digital workflows to catalyze the development of CTP. It is estimated that in the next three to five years, this technology will be accepted by half of the printing companies, especially newspapers and large to medium-sized printing plants.
