The textile industry is labor-intensive and has a comparative advantage of traditional industries, but also China's strong competitiveness and high international dependence on the industry. The development of the textile industry is inseparable from the development of printing machine, with the textile industry profits gradually pressure loss, roller printing machine industry has also been a certain impact. In this context, the printing machine industry is moving in the direction of diversification of technology.
At present, China's textile enterprises with typical low-profit industry characteristics. The arrival of textile low-profit era of the textile industry chain printing industry has caused a great impact, making the printing industry roller printing machine has entered a low-profit era. At the same time, the printing technology requirements are increasing.
Relevant data show that China's roller printing machine industry has more than 500 enterprises, private enterprises accounted for 98% (including supporting enterprises). For a long time, roller printing machine industry is mostly used in manual printing, high cost, low productivity. But at present, a single manual printing technology has been unable to meet the development needs of the textile industry. In the demand forcing mechanism, the printing industry continued technological innovation, making the industry showing a diversified development trend of technology.
Roller printing machine is becoming the leading technology development trend of the industry. It can effectively shorten the time to market, is expected to ink-jet printing machine market size from 2011 to 1.7 billion US dollars in 2012 and 218 million US dollars in 2017 to 748 million US dollars. In addition, fabric printing has also developed rapidly. New fiber, especially polyester fiber and active and disperse dyes have come out, making the textile printing technology to continue to develop.
Modern information control technology has also penetrated into all areas of roller printing machinery. Automation technology has greatly promoted the development of the printing industry. Through information control technology, breaking through a number of automated printing machine due to drying the efficiency of the bottleneck brought about by the maximum to meet the substrates on ink, water-based paint drying conditions. In addition, automation, man-machine dialogue, process settings, automatic detection and control, remote diagnosis and other means in the field of printing machines are also widely used.
