Printing craftsmanship
equipment and environment, as well as base paper and adhesive materials,
The technical skills of the operators, who have knowledge and skills in inks and other technologies, are also important factors that determine product quality.
Our technicians use the knowledge and craftsmanship they have developed through their experience.
We play a part in the creation of our customers' important products.
Even if the plate is made and printed according to the data provided by the customer, there may be slight discrepancies between the plate and the output (output).
Our plate-making operators fine-tune text, images, etc. to suit the design, inks used, base stock, and printing presses, and then make the plates.
Even after plate making, we can reproduce the plate more accurately by processing the plate uniquely according to printing conditions.
Ink is selected from a number of inks based on the area of the solid surface, the fineness of the line, and the environment in which it will be used.
Depending on the ink selected, marginal zones (dark contours of ink that occur at the edges of printed photographs or dots) unique to printing may be noticeable, requiring the operator's experience and intuition.
The color mixing process, in which inks selected by the operator are mixed and matched to create the optimal ink for the customer's specifications to reproduce the color of the block, is also a craftsman's art.
The firmness of the ink is manually adjusted depending on the season and printing environment.
After preparing the necessary materials, start printing on the printing press.
It is often thought that the machine prints automatically, but in fact, each printing machine has its own characteristics and peculiarities, and the operator makes adjustments as he or she goes along.
Ink output (color adjustment) and plate pressure are adjusted until printing conditions stabilize.
This is largely due to the experience of the operators, who repeatedly make fine adjustments while listening to the machine and concentrating all their attention on the sensations at their fingertips.
The operator's skill is in how to shorten the time required to stabilize the machine.
He won the "Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award" at the 2016 Domestic Seal Label Contest and the "Best of the Best", the highest award at the 2019 World Label Contest.
We also possess world-class technical capabilities in both seal and label printing and package printing, as evidenced by the fact that our printing operators won the national competition in the 2020 WorldSkills Olympics (printing category) and were chosen to represent Japan.
We actively participate in domestic and international contests and are working to improve the skills of our engineers through these contests.
