Controlling Paper Wasted Paper Wasted Experiences

In response to the issue of how to reduce the paper waste caused by newspaper printing, the general manager of the Xinhua Daily Group Printing Service Center, Wang Renjie, described his ideas in light of the conditions of the factory and put forward some suggestions from another perspective.

1. Standardize procurement to ensure paper meets requirements

(1) Paper quality 1 Paper ration should be within the printing requirements;
2 During the printing process, the paper does not lint or powder, so as to reduce the number of times of erasable or automatic cleaning;
3 The tensile strength of the paper is up to the standard to prevent paper breakage when the tension is too large;
4 The paper absorbs ink well to prevent large areas from being dirty;

5 The paper has no problems such as dark damage or emptiness, avoiding trouble-free breaks.

When a major paper disease occurs, it must be replaced promptly, records should be made, and samples must be taken to claim from the paper supplier.

The procurement of other raw materials, such as printing ink, PS plates, film, fountain solution, and alcohol, should also be up to standard, otherwise it will indirectly cause waste of paper.

(2) Paper suppliers

1 Stay in close contact with major paper suppliers

The newspaper printing factory has a large amount of paper each year. Establishing long-term cooperation with one or two reputable paper suppliers can guarantee the quality and quantity of supply and reduce the cost of paper. Small and medium-sized printers can take the form of joint procurement.

2 Regular assessment of the paper supplier

The cooperation between the newspaper printing company and the paper supplier is an ongoing process. The paper suppliers are regularly assessed and the situation of other paper suppliers is known. It is therefore best to determine the best partner for the newspaper printing factory.

More than 3 listen to the opinions of the paper supplier

Paper suppliers are the best source of paper market information. They can provide newspaper printing companies with more advice on paper selection, paper use and paper-saving. Therefore, newspaper printing companies should strengthen communication and exchange with the paper suppliers.

2. Regulate equipment management to ensure normal production

Newspaper printing production process, the size of the printing tension, the ink roller ink transfer performance, roller pressure, folding machine adjustment, the accuracy of the counter, whether the stacker is smooth, and air, circuits, waterways work properly or not This is an important factor in equipment management. Only the above management details are regulated, the timeliness of newspapers can be guaranteed, and paper waste can be avoided.

3. Standardized procedures to improve the overall quality of personnel

The normative operation in the printing process has received universal attention, and the quality supervision during this period has often been overlooked. Starting from the editing of the article, editors and proofreaders cannot make mistakes, otherwise they will have to stop the reprint and cause paper waste. Printing companies should pay great attention to photocopying, plate making, bending, loading, configuring fountain solution, adjusting ink volume, printing, packing and counting, postal delivery, and so on, to ensure quality, otherwise, not only can not guarantee the publication cycle of the newspaper, but also Will increase paper loss and increase printed costs.
Modern paper management model

How to save money on paper, each newspaper printing company has its own method, one of the more efficient one is the application of the newspaper printing company's computer management system, real-time monitoring of paper consumption throughout the production process. However, the newspaper printing factory management system is not as mature as the process management in paper management. Sometimes a newspaper printing house may save hundreds of tons of paper in a year. However, the customers of these hundreds of tons of paper are not provided by the managers. In the ideal paper management model, a newspaper prints out, how many copies are made, how many papers are used in common, how much paper is saved, and the effective amount of information such as the paper saving amount of the paper in the total saving amount is managed. Displayed on the system.
