Inqaku loMhleli: Kwinxalenye yoku-1 yochungechunge lwethu lwezigqubuthelo zodonga eziprintiweyo ngedijithali, “Izigqubuthelo zodonga ziyavela njengethuba elikhulu lokuprinta ngedijithali,” iinkokheli zoshishino zixoxe ngokukhula kwicandelo lezigqubuthelo zodonga. Icandelo lesi-2 lijonga iingenelo eziqhuba olo kukhula, kunye nemingeni ekufuneka yoyiswe ukuze kwandiswe ngakumbi i-inkjet.
Nokuba imarike injani na, ukuprinta ngedijithali kunika iingenelo ezithile, ngakumbi ukukwazi ukwenza ngokwezifiso iimveliso, amaxesha okutshintsha ngokukhawuleza kunye nokwenza ii-run ezincinci ngokufanelekileyo. Umqobo omkhulu kukufikelela kubungakanani bokubaleka obuphezulu ngexabiso eliphantsi.
Imarike yezigqubuthelo zodonga eziprintiweyo ngedijithali iyafana kakhulu kwezo zinto.
UDavid Lopez, umphathi weemveliso, kwi-Professional Imaging, e-Epson America, ukhankanye ukuba ukuprinta ngedijithali kunika iingenelo ezininzi kwimarike yokugquma eludongeni, kubandakanya ukwenza ngokwezifiso, ukuguquguquka, kunye nemveliso.
“Ukuprinta ngedijithali kuvumela uyilo olunokulungiselelwa ngokwezifiso kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zezixhobo ezihambelanayo kwaye kususa isidingo seenkqubo zokuseta zendabuko, njengokwenza iipleyiti okanye ukulungiswa kwesikrini, ezineendleko eziphezulu zokuseta,” utshilo uLopez. “Ngokungafaniyo neendlela zendabuko zokuprinta, ukuprinta ngedijithali kubiza kakhulu kwaye kunika amaxesha akhawulezayo okuguqula izinto ezimfutshane. Oku kwenza kube luncedo ekuveliseni ubungakanani obuncinci bezinto zokugquma eludongeni ezenziwe ngokwezifiso ngaphandle kwesidingo sezinto ezininzi ezincinci zoku-odola.”
UKitt Jones, umphathi wophuhliso lweshishini kunye nokudalwa ngokubambisana, uRoland DGA, uqaphele ukuba zininzi iingenelo eziziswa kukuprinta ngedijithali kwimarike yokugquma eludongeni.
“Olu buchwepheshe aludingi luhlu lwezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo, luvumela ukwenziwa ngokwezifiso ngokupheleleyo ngokweepesenti ezili-100, kwaye luvumela iindleko eziphantsi kunye nolawulo olungcono kwimveliso kunye nexesha lokuguqula izinto,” wongeze watsho uJones. “Ukwaziswa kweDimensor S, enye yeemveliso ezintsha ezikhoyo kwezo zicelo, kungenisa ixesha elitsha lokuthungwa okwenziwe ngokwezifiso kunye nemveliso yokuprinta xa ifunwa evumela kungekuphela nje imveliso eyahlukileyo, kodwa kunye nembuyekezo ephezulu kutyalo-mali.”
UMichael Bush, umphathi wonxibelelwano lwentengiso, iFUJIFILM Ink Solutions Group, uqaphele ukuba i-inkjet kunye nobuchwepheshe bedijithali obubanzi bufanelekile kakhulu ukuvelisa iiprinti zodonga ezimfutshane nezilungiselelwe wena.
“Iingubo zodonga ezineemxholo kunye nezenziwe ngokwezifiso zithandwa kakhulu ekuhombiseni iihotele, izibhedlele, iindawo zokutyela, iindawo zokuthengisa kunye neeofisi,” wongeze watsho uBush. “Iimfuno zobugcisa ezibalulekileyo zokugquma iindonga kwezi ndawo zangaphakathi ziquka iiprinti ezingenavumba/ezingenavumba liphantsi; ukumelana nokukrweleka emzimbeni ngenxa yokukrweleka (njengoko umzekelo abantu bakrweleka iindonga kwiipaseji, ifenitshala ichukumisa iindonga kwiindawo zokutyela, okanye iisutikheyisi ezikrweleka iindonga kumagumbi ehotele); ukuhlanjwa kunye nokuqina kokufakelwa ixesha elide. Kolu hlobo lwezicelo zokuprinta, uluhlu lwemibala yenkqubo yedijithali kwaye kukho umkhwa okhulayo wokubandakanya iinkqubo zokuhombisa.
“Iiteknoloji ze-eco-solvent, i-latex, kunye ne-UV zisetyenziswa kakhulu kwaye zonke zifanelekile kwiingubo zodonga, nganye ineenzuzo kunye nemida yayo,” utshilo uBush. “Umzekelo, i-UV inokumelana nokukrazuka okuhle kakhulu kunye nokumelana neekhemikhali, kodwa kunzima ngakumbi ukufumana iiprinti zevumba eliphantsi kakhulu nge-UV. I-Latex inokuba nevumba eliphantsi kakhulu kodwa inokuba nokumelana nokukrazuka okubi kwaye inokufuna inkqubo yesibini ye-lamination kwizicelo ezibalulekileyo zokukrazuka. Iiteknoloji ze-hybrid UV/aqueous zinokujongana neemfuno zeeprinti zevumba eliphantsi kunye nokuqina.
“Xa kufikwa kwimveliso enkulu yephepha lodonga ngokwenziwa kwephepha lodonga elinye, ukulungela ubuchwepheshe bedijithali ukuhambelana nemveliso kunye neendleko zeendlela ze-analog yinto ebalulekileyo,” uqukumbele watsho uBush. “Ubuchule bokuvelisa imibala ebanzi kakhulu, imibala yamabala, iziphumo ezikhethekileyo, kunye nokugqitywa okufana neentsimbi, iiperileescents kunye ne-glitter, ezihlala zifuneka kuyilo lwephepha lodonga, nako kuyinselele yokuprinta ngedijithali.”
“Ukuprinta ngedijithali kuzisa iingenelo ezininzi kwisicelo,” utshilo uPaul Edwards, isekela-mphathi kwicandelo ledijithali kwi-INX International Ink Co. “Okokuqala, ungaprinta nantoni na ukusuka kwikopi enye yomfanekiso ngexabiso elifanayo ne-10,000. Iindidi zemifanekiso onokuzenza zinkulu kakhulu kunenkqubo ye-analog kwaye ukwenziwa ngokwezifiso kunokwenzeka. Ngokuprinta ngedijithali, awuthintelwanga ngokwexesha lobude bomfanekiso obuphindaphindwayo njengoko ubuya kuba njalo nge-analog. Ungalawula ngcono izinto ezikhoyo kwaye ukuprinta ukuya kwi-odolo kunokwenzeka.”
UOscar Vidal, umlawuli wehlabathi we-HP large format kwipotifoliyo yeemveliso, uthe ukuprinta ngedijithali kuyitshintshile imarike yokugquma eludongeni ngokunika iingenelo ezininzi ezibalulekileyo.
“Enye yezona nzuzo zibalulekileyo kukukwazi ukwenza ngokwezifiso uyilo, iipateni, kunye nemifanekiso ngokwemfuno. Eli nqanaba lokwenza ngokwezifiso lithandeka kakhulu kubayili bangaphakathi, abakhi bezakhiwo, kunye nabanini bezindlu abafuna izigqubuthelo zodonga ezikhethekileyo,” utshilo uVidal.
“Ukongeza, ukuprinta ngedijithali kwenza kube lula ukukhawuleza, kususa ukuseta ixesha elide elifunekayo kwiindlela zokuprinta zendabuko,” wongeze watsho uVidal. “Kukwabiza kakhulu kwiimveliso ezincinci, nto leyo eyenza kube lukhetho olufanelekileyo kumashishini nakubantu ngabanye abafuna ubungakanani obuncinci bezigqubuthelo zodonga. Ukuprinta okusemgangathweni ophezulu okufezekiswa ngetekhnoloji yedijithali kuqinisekisa imibala eqaqambileyo, iinkcukacha ezibukhali, kunye neepateni ezintsonkothileyo, nto leyo ephucula ukubonakala ngokubanzi.
“Ngaphezu koko, ukuprinta ngedijithali kunika ukuguquguquka, njengoko kungenziwa kwizinto ezahlukeneyo ezifanelekileyo zokugquma eludongeni,” utshilo uVidal. “Olu kuguquguquka luvumela ukhetho olwahlukeneyo lwemilo, ukugqitywa, kunye neendlela zokuqina. Okokugqibela, ukuprinta ngedijithali kunciphisa inkunkuma ngokuphelisa uluhlu lwezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo kunye nokunciphisa umngcipheko wokuveliswa ngokugqithisileyo, njengoko ukugquma eludongeni kunokuprintwa xa kuyimfuneko.”
Imingeni kwi-Inkjet yokukhusela iiWallcovering
UVidal waphawula ukuba ukuprinta ngedijithali kwafuneka koyise imingeni eliqela ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba ikhona kwimarike yokugquma udonga.
“Ekuqaleni, bekunzima ukuhambelana nomgangatho weendlela zokuprinta zemveli ezifana nokuprinta kwesikrini okanye ukuprinta ngegravure,” utshilo uVidal. “Nangona kunjalo, ukuqhubela phambili kwitekhnoloji yokuprinta yedijithali, kubandakanya ukuchaneka kombala okuphuculweyo kunye nesisombululo esiphezulu, kuye kwenza ukuba iiprinta zedijithali zihlangabezane kwaye zidlule nemigangatho yomgangatho weshishini. Isantya yayingomnye umngeni, kodwa ngenxa yezisombululo zokuprinta ngokuzenzekelayo kunye nezikrelekrele ezifana ne-HP Print OS, iinkampani zokuprinta zinokuvula ukusebenza okungabonakaliyo ngaphambili - njengohlalutyo lwedatha yemisebenzi okanye ukususa iinkqubo eziphindaphindayo nezithatha ixesha.
“Omnye umceli mngeni yayikukuqinisekisa ukuqina, njengoko izigqubuthelo zodonga kufuneka zimelane nokuguguleka, ukukrazuka, kunye nokufiphala,” wongeze watsho uVidal. “Izinto ezintsha kwimilo yeinki, njenge-inki ye-HP Latex – ezisebenzisa i-Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization ukuvelisa iiprinti ezihlala ixesha elide – ziye zajongana nalo mceli mngeni, zenza iiprinti zedijithali zikwazi ukumelana nokufiphala, umonakalo wamanzi, kunye nokukrazuka. Ukongeza, ukuprinta kwedijithali kwafuneka kuqinisekise ukuhambelana noluhlu olubanzi lwezixhobo ezisetyenziswa kwimilo yedonga, nto leyo eye yaphunyezwa ngokuqhubela phambili kwimilo yeinki kunye netekhnoloji yomshicileli.
“Okokugqibela, ukuprinta ngedijithali kuye kwaba luncedo kakhulu ekuhambeni kwexesha, ingakumbi kwiiprojekthi ezithatha ixesha elifutshane okanye ezenzelwe umntu ngamnye, nto leyo eyenza ukuba kube lukhetho olufanelekileyo kwimarike yodonga,” uqukumbele watsho uVidal.
UJones weRoland DGA uthe imingeni ephambili ibikukudala ulwazi malunga neeprinta kunye nezixhobo, ukuqinisekisa ukuba abathengi abanokubakho bayayiqonda inkqubo iyonke yokuprinta, kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba abasebenzisi banendibaniselwano efanelekileyo yeprinta, i-inki, kunye nemidiya ukuxhasa iimfuno zabathengi babo.
“Nangona le mingeni ifanayo isekhona ngandlela ithile kubayili bezakhiwo zangaphakathi, abakhi bezakhiwo, kunye nabakhi, sibona umdla okhulayo kule marike wokuzisa ushicilelo lwedijithali endlwini ngenxa yezizathu ezikhankanyiweyo ngaphambili - amandla okuvelisa akhethekileyo, iindleko eziphantsi, ulawulo olungcono, inzuzo eyongeziweyo,” utshilo uJones.
“Kukho imingeni eliqela,” utshilo uEdwards. “Ayisiyiyo yonke i-substrates efanelekileyo ukuprintwa ngedijithali. Imiphezulu isenokuba manzi kakhulu, kwaye ukutsala i-inki kwisakhiwo kusenokungavumeli amathontsi ukuba asasazeke ngokuchanekileyo.
“Umngeni wokwenene kukuba ukukhetha izinto/iinwele ezisetyenziselwa ukuprinta ngedijithali kufuneka kukhethwe ngononophelo,” utshilo uEdwards. “Iphepha lodonga linokuba nothuli oluncinci olunemicu ekhululekileyo, kwaye ezi zinto kufuneka zigcinwe kude nezixhobo zokuprinta ukuqinisekisa ukuthembeka. Iindlela ezahlukeneyo zingasetyenziswa ukujongana noku ngaphambi kokuba zifike kwiprinta. Ii-inki kufuneka zibe nevumba eliphantsi ngokwaneleyo ukuze zisebenze kolu setyenziso, kwaye umphezulu we-inki ngokwawo kufuneka ungabi nemikrwelo ngokwaneleyo ukuqinisekisa iimpawu ezilungileyo zokukrazuka nokubola.
“Ngamanye amaxesha i-varnish coat isetyenziswa ukuphucula ukumelana kwe-inki ngokwayo,” wongezelela u-Edwards. “Kufanele kuqatshelwe ukuba ukuphathwa kwemveliso emva kokuprintwa kufuneka kuqwalaselwe. Imiqulu yezinto zeentlobo ezahlukeneyo zemifanekiso nayo kufuneka ilawulwe kwaye ihlanganiswe, nto leyo eyenza kube nzima ngakumbi kwidijithali ngenxa yenani elikhulu leenguqulelo zokuprinta.”
“Ukuprinta ngedijithali kuye kwajongana nemingeni emininzi ukuze kufikelelwe apho ikhoyo namhlanje; enye ebalaseleyo kukuqina kwemveliso kunye nobude bayo,” utshilo uLopez. “Ekuqaleni, uyilo oluprintiweyo ngedijithali belungahlali lugcina inkangeleko yalo kwaye bekukho inkxalabo malunga nokunyamalala, ukuguguleka kunye nokukrwela, ingakumbi kwiindonga ezibekwe kwiindawo ezishushu okanye kwiindawo ezinezithuthi ezininzi. Ngokuhamba kwexesha, ubuchwepheshe buqhubekile kwaye namhlanje, ezi nkxalabo zincinci.
“Abavelisi benze i-inki eqinileyo kunye nezixhobo zokulwa nale ngxaki,” wongeze watsho uLopez. “Umzekelo, iiprinta ze-Epson SureColor R-Series zisebenzisa i-inki ye-resin ye-Epson UltraChrome RS, iseti ye-inki eyenziwe yi-Epson ukuze isebenze ne-Epson PrecisionCore MicroTFP printhead, ukuvelisa imveliso eqinileyo nengakrweliyo. I-inki ye-resin ineempawu zokukrwela ezimelana kakhulu nokwenza ukuba ibe sisisombululo esifanelekileyo kwiindonga ezigqunywe kwiindawo ezinezithuthi ezininzi.”
