What are the differences between speed-printing machine plate paper and ordinary paper?

There are many differences between speed printer plate paper and regular paper, which are explained below.

First of all, speed-printer plate paper is a special paper used for speed-printer printing. It has some unique features that make it suitable for the high-speed printing requirements of speed-printing machines. Speed-printing machine plate paper is usually smoother than ordinary paper, because the production process of speed-printing machine plate paper special emphasis on the smoothness of the surface treatment to ensure the quality of the print. Compared with ordinary paper, the smooth surface of the speed-printing machine plate paper can better receive ink, resulting in a clearer and fuller printing effect.

Secondly, the thickness of the printing machine plate paper is usually large, which is designed to meet the needs of the printing machine. Speed-printing machine printing speed is fast, the printing process will produce a certain amount of heat and pressure. In order to reduce the possibility of paper distortion or damage, it is necessary to use a relatively thick paper. In contrast, the thickness of ordinary paper is thinner and does not have the ability to resist the heat and pressure generated during the high-speed printing process.

In addition, the speed printer plate paper is often more white. Whiteness refers to the brightness of light reflected by the surface of the paper, and high whiteness means a brighter surface of the paper. The high whiteness of the speed-printing machine plate paper can provide a more vivid printing effect, and the printed image is more real and vivid.

Another difference that needs to be noted is that the speed printing machine plate paper usually has better water resistance. In the process of speed-printing, some special inks are used, and these inks are usually water-based. The surface treatment of the printing machine plate paper can better combine the ink with the paper and provide better water resistance. In contrast, the surface treatment of ordinary paper is relatively simple and does not have the ability to combine well with water-based ink.

In addition, speed-printing machine plate paper usually also has a certain wear resistance. In the process of high-speed printing, the contact friction between the paper and the machine is frequent, which is easy to cause the surface of the paper to wear. Through the special manufacturing process, the wear resistance of the paper can be increased and the paper wear in the printing process can be reduced. In contrast, ordinary paper generally does not have good wear resistance due to the difference in material and manufacturing process.

In addition, the cost of speed-printing machine plate paper is usually higher. The manufacturing process of speed-printing machine plate paper is relatively complex and requires special treatment to meet the printing needs of the speed-printing machine. These special treatments tend to increase manufacturing costs, so the price of speedier plate paper is relatively expensive. And ordinary paper because of the relatively simple manufacturing process, the cost is relatively low.

In addition, the speed printer plate paper usually has a better paper strength. During the high-speed printing process of the speed printer, the paper will be subjected to a certain tension and pressure. Due to the well-designed fiber structure, the paper has a high paper strength, which can resist the influence of tension and pressure, and reduce the deformation and damage of the paper. In contrast, ordinary paper, due to its relatively simple fiber structure and relatively low strength, is susceptible to tension and pressure during high-speed printing.

Speed-printer plate paper usually has better durability. The printed matter printed by the speed printer usually needs to be stored for a long time or to withstand certain external environmental effects, so the paper needs to have good durability. Printing machine plate paper usually provides better durability through special manufacturing processes and material choices, which can keep the color and quality of the print unchanged for a long time. In contrast, ordinary paper is less durable than speed-printing machine plate paper due to the limitations of material and manufacturing process.

In short, there are significant differences between speed printing machine plate paper and ordinary paper in smoothness, thickness, whiteness, water resistance, wear resistance, cost, paper strength and durability. These differences are in order to meet the requirements of high-speed printing machine, to provide better printing results and quality. When choosing paper, choosing the right paper type according to actual needs can ensure better printing results.
