Ink imprinting: the invisible pusher of civilized communication
2025,06,26
In the long river of human civilization, ink printing is like an undercurrent, silently nourishing the spread of knowledge and the inheritance of culture. Since the invention of movable type printing by Bi Sheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, this technology of transferring ink to the substrate through the printing plate has become an important force to promote the progress of human civilization.
The core of ink printing lies in its exquisite transfer process. Ink is carefully prepared by pigments, binders and additives, which are absorbed by the graphic part of the printing plate and then transferred to paper or other materials by pressure. This seemingly simple physical process contains complex chemical principles and precise mechanical control. From relief printing, lithography to gravure printing, every process is the crystallization of human wisdom.
In contemporary society, ink printing technology has developed into various forms. Offset printing technology has become the mainstream of publishing and printing because of its high efficiency and accuracy; Flexographic printing shines brightly in the field of packaging; Screen printing, on the other hand, conquered the field of artistic creation with its unique expressive force. The rise of digital printing has pushed personalized printing to a new height, making it possible to print on demand.
The value of ink printing is not only reflected in the technical level, but also deeply affects the process of human civilization. It breaks the time and space limitation of knowledge dissemination and makes the spark of thought start a prairie fire. From books and newspapers to product packaging, from currency securities to artistic creation, ink printing is everywhere, silently supporting the operation of modern civilization. In this era of information explosion, ink printing still maintains an irreplaceable position under the impact of digital media with its unique texture and expressive force.
