Revolution on Printing: World Picture Changed

Recently, a pilot line for nano material green printing and plating making technology was built by the Institute of Chemistry (IOC), CAS. On Sep. 6, The Legend Capital and other three enterprises from Beijing and Guangdong signed a letter of intent for “Technologic Innovation Strategic Alliance for the Nano Material Green Printing and Plating Making Industry” with IOC, CAS. The “nano material green printing and plating making technology” developed by IOC, CAS after many years’ basic researches abandoned the technical thought of sensitive imaging, thus making it possible to eliminate the problems of light-resistant operation and discharge of waste liquid generated by the sensitization process fundamentally. According to Song Yanlin, leader of the research team and research fellow of IOC, CAS, the technology significantly reduces costs, greatly simplifies the process of plate-making, omits the processes of exposure, development and plate burning and presents good reproducibility of images, picture and text with better quality.
