Now there is an additional tool in the toolbox for ink manufacturers to improve customer service. It can better meet customer needs, increase the number of responses to emergency service calls, and provide a more direct method of training in a print shop. This is the press simulator, a computer system that simulates the running of the press, just as the flight simulator simulates the practice of flying.
Ink makers and other suppliers are using these simulators to train their internal staff and also train customers. These devices provide an effective complement to classroom training by allowing students to simulate problems that may occur during the printing process. Some people hope that the simulator can substantially improve the company's development, internal training programs, and the ability to increase training programs outside the Fox Valley Technical Institute, Central Piedmont Community College, and Clemson University.
One aspect that ink manufacturers and their customers particularly like simulators is that this kind of training is very interesting. It attracted the attention of the trainees and the trainees were able to stay on the information points for a longer period of time. In some cases, ink manufacturers may establish something called a “challenging book†and conduct a simulated micro-competition to see who can solve the printing problem quickly. This is very interesting and helps people learn in a practical way. And firmly keep in mind what you have learned.
By using print simulators to train customers, a large number of ink manufacturers also hope to reduce the number of complaint telephone calls. There seems to be a habit that if there is any problem, it is always the supplier's mistake. A trained customer is the supplier's greatest protection.
Who is buying?
In the United States and Europe, six or seven ink manufacturers have purchased the Sinapse Graphic press simulator. Other industrial suppliers, such as printer manufacturers, paper mills and printers, blanket manufacturers and other printing supplies suppliers, are also considering buying. Sinapse Graphic produces print simulators for flexo, gravure, sheet-fed, condensation, and thermosetting modes, as well as a package mode simulator that will soon be commercialized.
US ink company, Sun Chemical's newspaper division, purchased a Sinapse Graphic condensing simulator more than two years ago. Since the trial feels good, the US ink company's parent company, Sun Chemicals, considers buying simulators for other branch companies as well. They believe that the benefits of simulators are well documented in flight simulators. Practice on the simulator can speed up the training process, and training on a real press can only be costly and time consuming.
Although US ink companies have always provided classroom training, simulators use more interesting and effective methods to make students learn better. Students practice different variables for a given phenomenon, some of which are not possible during the printing process. This is a very effective teaching method.
Some customers of US Ink Company were enthusiastic about this training method, and some even purchased a simulator.
US Ink Corporation uses condensing simulators to train its own employees, especially new ink formulators. Often these employees are chemists who do not have printing experience and therefore must attend additional training courses to learn about the dynamic process of printing. Now, the simulator has become a necessary process for induction training for US ink companies.
High-level enthusiasts most support the use of simulators are industry associations, and some associations work with Sinapse Graphic to develop more advanced simulators.
For example, the Flexographic Technology Association (FTA), in collaboration with the Sinapse Graphic Corporation, has developed FlexSys, a central flexo, on-line, and corrugated flexible printing simulator that has now been upgraded to version 2.2. FTA is responsible for sales of agent simulators in the United States. They sell the simulators to ink manufacturers, suppliers, prepress output centers, and printers across the country.
The American Intaglio Association (GAA) partnered with Sinapse Graphic to develop the Gravure Emulator and PackSim, a packaging simulator. Not long ago, the association and Sinapse Graphic jointly meticulously debugged PakSim and will soon be on the market.
Sinapse Graphic's offset simulator was originally developed in Europe. For several years, comments from GATF, Heidelberg Rotation, Manroland, and Sinapse Graphic’s US user base have largely supported its further promotion. SHOTS, Sinapse Graphic's main offset product, is now version 3.2. The thermosetting simulator version is 3.4 and the condensation simulation version is 2.4.
The benefits of the simulator Most printers train print operators through verbal legends, making the quality of training uneven. Having a simulator gives the company's printing staff an opportunity to learn to solve the same technical problem, much better than oral instruction.
The simulator also helps to compensate for the shortage of skilled workers in the printing industry. The printing industry is facing a two-pole problem. Some experienced veterans will retire soon, and those who have just joined the industry will not be able to get started quickly. Tools can solve this blunt phenomenon.
However, the price of the simulator is still relatively expensive, and varies from $15,000 to $70,000 depending on the type and model of the simulator. Ink manufacturers use simulators to increase the customer's skills on the press and provide expensive services.
Bill Dowedll, president of the Flexo Technology Association, agrees that ink makers and printers benefit greatly from using simulators and are firmly following this path. He believes that simulators are an important tool for helping ink makers to serve customers and help customers to increase the necessary expenses fairly by providing important value-added services.
At present, many ink companies are overwhelmed by requests for help training and problem solving by customers. Therefore, it is not as positive as facing this problem. Simulator is a tool that helps them to be more active and to train customers in advance.
From the perspective of the printer, of course, the potential value of the printer can not be underestimated. From newspaper printing, commercial printing to packaging printing, simulator training is very much appreciated.
The Dallas Morning Post already has a cold-gel print simulator. Printing director Steven Holder, who is responsible for the training of the pressroom, likes the fact that he can use the simulator to train press workers much faster than in real life. On the simulator, they can simulate any type of printing situation. They do not have to wait six months or one year until the problem occurs in the printing. They also do more and more four-color work. This is actually training. A quick way for the printer.
Westuaco In Richmond VA, a group of the Gravure Society of America, is helping to design and test packaging simulators. Frank Watson, director of personnel affairs, is a loyal supporter of the simulator. He said, "A real picture is so low as to say 100 words, from which you can really know what people in the workshop know. They have eight hours of training in PackSim than he is in Three months to solve more problems in the printing process."
In Litho-Krome, a subsidiary of the Hallmark Greeting Card Company, Sinapes Graphic's Sheetfed Offset Simulator (SHOTS) is the basis for training. Since the installation of SHOTS two years ago, LithoKrome has greatly shortened the preparation time for prepress operations, while also reducing waste and increasing the net operating speed of the press. The use of SHOTS can display the problems in various printing processes that operators cannot see in days or even months. This is a very comprehensive tool.
Bob Hipps is a trainer at a printing and packaging facility and claims that his company's FlexSys simulator is "the best training tool - it eliminates the need for heavy machinery, uses heavy machinery and consumes a lot of material, but it wastes a lot of material. But The most impressive thing about this simulator is its accuracy, which is about 95% of what a printing press can do.
Does it work like an advertisement?
Like any software, learning how to use new things requires training and experience. A flexo emulator user expresses concern that the software must be an unerring operation, but who does not dream of having a good software? Some users expressed the idea that printing simulators are excellent for printers and supplier trainers, but it is not easy to handle all the complicated problems that a seasoned technician may experience. .
Cindy Lole, FTA's technical director pointed out that the biggest challenge for any training is how and when training, what is the task of training, simulator software can produce a difficult exercise, but it takes time to learn, so many People may write software without realizing that they have not even had access to it.
Many flexo printers use this system and say that they have more capabilities than they expected. They can use simulators to train people at all levels. The simulator is intricately internal, even if there are some very experienced press operations. The person may also be stumped.
Some people think that simulators should be used in advanced training. Although many printing commercial simulators train the printing basics of employees, it is actually better to use it to train experienced printing staff.
The special purpose simulator for ink makers is an excellent teaching tool, and not only general training for press operations, but also for ink related issues.
For example, using a simulator to train people on the effects of drying temperature, exhaust fans, and vents on print quality—anything the ink does on the press can also be implemented on the simulator, such as viscosity and pH, and ink bubbling. Pump speed or kinks in the hose. The simulator can also display incorrect measurements, dirty or broken metal anilox or doctor blades, roller tension and print speed, all of which can affect ink plate and dry.
What makes the simulator so useful is that thousands of variables can be combined with each other to obtain a variety of possible results, such as data input for textured ink rollers, as well as data input by the base and ink supplier, the printing press, and the print producer. For example, if the customer has been drying or curing with incorrect settings, then they can use the simulator to learn to distinguish the problems and propose their solutions. Once the settings or materials have changed, they can see the speed of printing or the effect of changing film base or ink flow.
Future Outlook Even before the simulator training spreads widely in industry, even proponents agree that there should be some changes in people's attitude towards training. Training is a difficult task for companies to decide on additional spending, and the industry is currently focusing on low costs. Money is not invested in employees for capital and investment.
In order to increase the value of the simulator in its members, both GAA and FTA have begun case studies in their magazines. It is a necessary thing, but to make managers, training departments, and operating staff convinced that it is another matter, some companies and associations are making useful cases for the company's toolbox.
The simulator also brings “special things†to US ink companies that are more valuable to customers. In today’s extremely competitive and meagre environment, they should not only sell inks but also allow printers to see them at all times. We also agree to help them achieve their goals, which are of great value. This is why the simulator has become a name in the value-added service briefcase.
