Since the Copenhagen meeting after the world's environmental alarm is sounded, the China printing industry insiders have more and more aware of the print production pollution brought about by the excessive consumption of natural resources and energy and packaging waste on the natural environment has become an obstacle to the industry a major obstacle to development. "Green" has drawn increasing attention to green printing has become an urgent task.
    In recent years, China has attached great importance to the development of the cultural industry, determined in the construction of cultural power in the strategic plan for the news publishing industry to accelerate the transformation of development mode, and enhance the publishing product quality clear direction, and also proposed a new supervision and testing of the product quality of China's press and publication higher requirements.
    In this context, the "green printing" came into being, to open a "new era" for the printing industry.
Suggestions about green printing
 
   Solvent-based inks used in traditional printing of volatile organic compounds (Voc), as well as some inorganic pigments in the ink containing lead, chromium, copper, mercury and other heavy metals emissions will cause "harm" to the environment. In addition, another basic element of the printing paper is also environmentally friendly work of a very difficult problem. The manufacturing of paper how much will be involved in the felling of trees.
 
1. Rule of law and ideological education offers
 
   To the existing problems of the legal system to manage the printing industry, rather than to human bundles. Governance is more conducive to the management of scientific and systematic in accordance with the law. In view of the initial stage of development of China's national conditions and "green printing", we can learn from international practice, to establish a sound system of laws and regulations of China's green printing and green packaging. To focus on the here proposed to two, printing and packaging industry in the introduction of appropriate regulations to restrict the outstanding problems of the environmental hazards; Second, governments need to give policy printing industry vigorously support that enterprise. " The escort soon as possible to shorten the gap with the developed countries,cataloge printing china.
    At the same time, improve the printing companies "green printing" the concept of environmental protection is also a top priority, only to start from the first line grabbed "green printing" only the development of forward momentum. To make the industry engaged in the printing industry to always adhere to the scientific concept of development, from the ideological emphasis conserve resources, energy work.
 
The development of new types of ink
 
   As previously said, the chemical elements contained in the ink of great harm to the environment. Our strong research and development of a new type of ink water-based ink, UV ink to meet the environmental requirements. The aqueous ink is recognized worldwide environmental type printed material, since water is a polar substance, according to the miscibility characteristics of the polar substance with polar substances, the aqueous ink contain no or only a very small amount of organic solvents, therefore, the aqueous ink The most important feature is to reduce the VOC emissions, in order to avoid contamination of volatile organic compounds, improve the printing job environment conducive to human health. Moreover, the water-based ink can be removed toxic solvent ink, pollution hazards of harmful substances and packaging products. However, the water-based ink is only suitable for gravure and letterpress, not suitable for offset printing and lithography. In this regard, we can carry out research, develop suitable for printing ink; can also be an in-depth study of its use to reduce the cost.
 
3. Promote flexography
 
   Flexographic printing is also often referred to as the flexographic printing, is packing a printing. GB9851.4-90 definition of the standard terminology of printing technology in China, flexo printing flexo anilox roll transfer ink printing. Flexo printing or polyester material to produce the desired image mirror protruding plates - like children play with toy seal. The ink go to the printing plate on the amount of (or the printing drum) by the anilox control. Printing surface during rotation in contact with the printed material, thereby transfer of the graphic.
   Is an important feature of the flexographic printing ink is an alcohol, water as a low viscosity of the main solvent evaporation drying type ink, fast drying, high-speed multicolor printing adaptation flexo magazine printing china. Pollution-free, fast drying water-based ink, is extremely beneficial to the protection of the bad environment.
 
4. Personnel training
 
    All work is people-oriented, not just to serve the people, work is needed manpower support. As we often talk about the competition of the 21st century is the talent competition, will rely heavily on the development of the printing industry talent.
   At present, the more well-known within the line institutions: Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication, Wuhan University, Xi'an Polytechnic and South China. Targeted training based on their expertise and specialty. Such as Wuhan University's expertise in printing the prepress digital process, we can focus on training to increase the prepress software development knowledge, prepress processes, and so on.
   The industry can also participate in the culture of the institutions to ensure the practical ability of the talent. In this regard, the Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication is the "leader." January 10, 2010, with five printing companies to build "green printing inks Institute", "green plate-making and the Institute of Advanced Materials," Inkjet printing materials laboratory "," industrial printing digital printing technology laboratory , water-based ink R & D center. September 5, 2012, the Beijing Institute of Printing Press and Publication Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection Center to build a "green printing testing laboratories. These moves are academic and market demand combined.
