how to select correct indoor outdoor printing media.

this article to let you know how to select correct indoor outdoor printing media for you printer.

advertising printing in two ways: one is advertising outdoor screen output , one is advertising indoor screen output. Friends can be customized according to the actual situation . One is based on the actual price of the finished inkjet number of square meters multiplied by the price per square meter counted down , and designed to collect fees based on the size of difficulty , the following are two categories of common materials at a glance:

A, advertising indoor printing media.
1 . PP paper ( what we called the posters, fine gum , high-precision , but behind the plastic surface does not own , customers can use double-sided adhesive tape on the wall , can be used repeatedly )
2 . pp adhesive paper ( and PP film distinction lies in its own plastic surface , the customer back after tearing the film posted on the wall )
3 . photo paper ( also known as posters, fine paper with high precision and no built-in rubber surface )
4 . banners ( inkjet exquisite boxes before , it is different from the common signs above our level of printing, but McDonald's food for printing on card boxes with images beautifully translucent characteristics moderate )
5. PVC ( gum paste is to board a similar special KT foam board , then trim around together , forming a frame, this material is lightweight, can be used as decoration company , the exhibition for display. )
6. glossy PVC ( the difference between the ordinary and the plate is that it does not have time to use the plate surface bubbles . )
7 . fabric paper ( similar to printing such as silk -like material, for more romantic and elegant style display applications, such as clothing stores , etc. )
8. cavnas ( for more romantic and elegant style of the exhibition hall , there is a certain painting texture, can be used for wedding photography embodies so on. )
9. transparency pp adhesive paper ( another kind of gum , but such a transparent phenomenon , mostly for the door post, this material is noble and generous, is to demonstrate an alternative image of the company . )

B, advertising outdoor printing media
1 . outdoor flex banner ( we saw a large outdoor printing, these are the lights from the outside toward the spraying . )
2 . glossy outdooor flex banner ( we see the printing on outdoor signs , these are the lights out in the lightbox spraying irradiation . )
3 . vinyl sticker ( attached to the vehicle body for inkjet, inkjet such viscous, anti- sun )
4 . glossy vinyls ( for more romantic and elegant style display cases, but these can be used outdoors )
5. mesh ( mesh printing material for a special guest performance practices to reflect a material style )
6. one way vision ( attached to the body of the glass material , and body stickers used together )
Indoor use , it outputs the picture size of generally a few square meters . One end limit the maximum width of 1.5 meters . Also covered in the output image is completed ( Guests can choose film or Asian films ) , or paper board considered finished , output high resolution, color saturation relatively clear . Outdoor accuracy will be relatively small, the size limitation , not through the membrane .

1.indoor and outdoor printing basics and precautions outdoor and indoor printing image output requirements
outdoor printing generally refers to outdoor advertising printing output, which outputs a large screen , such as billboards beside the highway numerous screen printing machine is the result of the output . Output models are : all DX5 dx7 roland, amd all 3.2m solvent printer , etc., are generally 3.2 m maximum width . Media inkjet printers are generally used in advertising cloth ( commonly known as the banner ) , the use of oil-based ink ink , printing companies to ensure the durability of the screen , the general picture color than the color of the monitor a little deeper . It is the actual output image resolution is generally only need 30 ~ 45DPI ( according to the printing requirements contrast ) , the picture is the actual size is relatively large, there are hundreds of square meters of area .

indoor printing generally refers to indoor use , it outputs the picture size of generally a few square meters . Advertising at the exhibition as a small screen manufacturers use . Output models such as : HP5000, is generally the maximum width of 1.5 meters . Media photo machine is generally used in PP paper, light film, ink use indoor inks . Also covered in the output image is complete , mounted board considered finished , the output resolution up to 300-1200DPI ( different models have different ) , it 's more saturated colors and clear .
Post-production inkjet technology and skills
Printing industry in the post-production is an indispensable step , the success or failure of the entire work , quality assurance plays a very important role. A fast, sophisticated post-production , not only can work even better , the company can also create greater economic and corporate reputation. Extensive post-production concept , design and production are all essentially all post-production work later. For example : output , cut , film, paper board , stitching and so on. Combined with a little of my own experience and the actual situation of the company , to explain a little late for work .

Output: The first task is to output the image design is completed , in this process, the image is output must merge all layers (layer), which normally takes saved as tif or jpg format , if the image is in Apple computers. the production , it should have the suffix. For the size of the image , remained at 100DPI down output accuracy can be achieved , if you want to output a large drawing of the image, inappropriate points lower , at 40M guaranteed size of the image above . This process has several points need to be noted: First, unlike inkjet printing, inkjet printing color than the bright , pretty much . Therefore inkjet Drawing mode must be set to RGB instead of CMYK mode. Printing images are often large drawings , some imperceptible flaw on the print after the big shelter amplified output will become very obvious exaggeration , and this point is unable to find through the sample, and therefore in the production of finished printing the image must be enlarged to 100 % double check again. For a lot of screen text , but also to carefully proofread . Because there is no ready-made inkjet output color , so the color shift to grasp empirically , this is where to play demo purposes .
Cut : the screen output is completed, the machine will automatically cut. For the screen size with the need to cut the paper large difference to the amount of cut neatly. When we cut the film , also used scissors to walk together along the marked line , as it will facilitate the work of the film in the film , and to better ensure the quality and success rate.

laminating: "laminating" the work is a " three-line " items , it requires very cooperative staff , a successful film work is " feed " three "pull the film " and " rock" highly coordinated product. To do the following : Under appropriate circumstances to ensure that the drawing width , the length of the film to be a little longer appropriate (usually 20cm). First, adjust the roller knob , hand feel no resistance so far , slightly tight. The flat film feed to ensure that the film does not move in the yaw generated in the process , the extruded film was not shaped . Then , the membrane was pulled in the film coming to the end , to hold the rollers , the film pull force to ensure flush ends . At this point, pull the protective film while the film were sagging " feed " may enter the picture (one end of the screen should be flush ) , to ensure the screen flat sides parallel to the film , when ready to order , you can let the " Rock " are slow slow shaking , after seeing no problem to uniform forward to the head. This process, feed those who want to double-check whether there is something like the hair on the screen , try to clear out. After the film cover , enter " tailoring " work.
Framed board: When a customer asks for board, we will proceed to the next step of a paper board , and table -mounted , there are two common techniques, namely the papier-mache and spray adhesive 3M adhesive type . Both compared to some of the gum type will be more durable . Adhesive Type : cut to the desired size of the screen , flat panels placed on the four sides , separated by a heavy object , or by a person to suppress . The end of the adhesive uncover one of about 10 cm , pasted onto boards . Then get a laminating machine , just by adjusting the pressure to the panels so far. The picture has been pasted into the end , pull the screen , draw back tape by one person , a person to head up promotion board . Glue type : For standard panels have four sides of the card ( specifications , such as : 120cmх90cm, 90cmх60cm), we are more convenient method of application of the glue flat panels , placed on a flat screen panels . To make the sides of the screen to better match pregnant edge panels , which we first screen along adjacent sides cut together , and then from both sides of the baseline , align the edges of the panels . The relative position of the screen and the panels fixed ( a heavy pressure on the screen or pressed by others ) , aligned on both sides of the off side , glue on subsequent panels, after half a minute, pulled tight on both sides of the screen , uniform whereabouts at this time by a man with a squeegee people on both sides of the screen to the center of the screen to the screen completely suppress the panels fit ; likewise set off the other side of the screen, pressing the spray . Finally, the card of the knife along the boards , cut off the excess part of the picture , that is the whole picture mounted finish .

Stitching : When a customer requests a screen larger than the largest format inkjet printing machines , we will separate the output screen , and then spliced ​​together , doing the work of this mosaic , the picture of the design and the output is its premise , so each step should step wrong . First stitching position of the picture to figure out who the hell is on top, who is at the bottom , which would be larger sheets , which sheets are smaller. In the output process, because the output is the same graph screen , so be sure to keep it consistent color and size appropriate ( for example, a certain width ) , to set the record output parameters change, ensuring correct. During the splicing process , the first phase will end two paintings to be neat . Then in a sufficiently flat screen panels will , in the correct relative position , the screen away, and fixed with tape . Off parts of the painting exhibition southern tip contact , glue ( not glue to cover the screen ) then from the middle to both sides with a scraper compaction snapping the picture . The other end of the upper screen flips in the glue phase lower part of the screen, compacted , to pick up the screen . Stitching good picture must not be rolled vertical seams , this is very easy to produce folds in phase at this point should pay attention !
Designers have good ideas , ideas, make it into a real , show it to the viewers or households, in order to be understood and recognized. Therefore, to master a variety of performance techniques, the performance of rich design language, the designer is essential.
Printing is a basic, more traditional performance techniques, it has the performance practices of other features and advantages of irreplaceable : A hand-drawn relative to other techniques , it is more delicate and true performance , ultra- realistic performance images can achieve real ones picture effect . B relative to computers , photography and other modern techniques, it demonstrated the images more natural, vivid. Therefore , printing techniques to master the basic skills necessary for designers , but also design disciplines necessary for a student's performance technique classes.

2 : Applications and features :
Spray coverage kind is composed of numerous tiny colored particles. Each point of the particles are sprayed with atomized saturated state on the screen at the instant of atomization , the rapid evaporation of water colors , color spray on the screen that is almost dry state. Wet little color change , color change is easy to grasp.
Features:
A: bright color balance , flat, no strokes.
B: You can transform any lapse color brightness . Should
C: produce matte effect , easy system board .
D: easy to modify . ( If necessary, the first layer of white spray , then repair such as: white + blue + red = red . )
E: stacked color effect. ( Via fewer colors to get rich color . )
1 : Background large area processing , color brightness goes .
2: The main picture and background transition coordination.
3: The processing apparatus has the disadvantage of undesirable background picture .
4 : renderings, illustrations.
5: Manufacturing painting or photography unattainable results.
3 : Methods and steps :
1 : The relationship between the original sketch and color points off .
A: From the bright areas to dark . B: From dark to light .
2 : The original can be the order of printing off .
A: Analysis engraved template : first carved appearance, overall grasp. B: Template production: ( accurate and reasonable . )
3 : Printing : ( use of overlapping color . )
A: Spray highlights , midtones level, paved care dark ( basic monochrome sketch , relying on the basic color ( natural color mixing and painting at the end to complete ) .
B: Strengthening midtone color levels , create dark .
C: detail characterize the overall coordination. ( From the local to the whole , from global to local , market research being repeated , increasing the color levels . Detailed the right combination of repeated printing . )
Virtual Spray : Template certain distance away from the paper .
Spray a small amount of : ( valve small needle into the little pen from the paper from the past . )
Delicate : a: bottoming b: c :: color then sprayed repeatedly d: paint thickness is appropriate. e: paper to clean . f: spray style better. g: fresh paint .
Four : painted :
1 ; patience. ( Ready to work . )
2 : to be used for any part of the three surface treatment .
3 : Color thin.
Template - Brothers quicken power - with less.
Tools must be able to use the tool : to spray a place , be sure to use inkjet.
Five: Assignment:
A: Composition with geometric shapes . ( 4-5 pieces , there must be a sphere. ) Organize a chart .
Modeling can be directly taken from the directional geometric patterning on the sketch art collections ) .
Since color vision ( theme, harmony, background simplified. )
Focus on the relationship between large coordination portrayed in place. ( 8 open , mounted four open paper . )
B: painted : ( 16 open )
C: Printing : ( 4 open )
