Integrated layout technology

Integrated typesetting system refers to a large-scale color interactive typesetting system that integrates text, graphics, and image typesetting functions, including mathematics, tables, and flowcharts, and can be used to arrange newspapers, books, magazines, advertisements, etc. Professional publishing and printing (newspapers, publishing houses, magazines, printing plants, etc.), light printing, and office automation.

The main research topics in the research direction of integrated typesetting technology are:

1. The main research contents of text and graphics processing technologies are: complex typesetting techniques for multilingual texts, text typesetting techniques for special industries, general graphic image processing techniques, and applications in professional printing and typesetting and cross-media publishing. Supports various international and national coding standards, including GBK, Unicode, etc.
The Institute has a rich accumulation of text and graphic processing and is at the leading international level. The Chinese typesetting system based on these technologies is one of the most professional typesetting software in the industry.

2. Variable data publishing technology adopts the idea of ​​separating the template from the content, comprehensively describes the style and content based on XML, and uses interface programming to achieve module attachability. It is a content production solution for digital printing that is characterized by on-demand and short-term printing.
The main research content: automated typesetting scheme based on database and XML, and application in the field of digital printing.

3. Packaging Design and Production Technology Packaging design and production technology is mainly oriented to the design and production of packaging boxes. The research includes:
Packaging CAD: box library and its design, production technology;
Packing imposition: Splicing small boxes into large versions and integrating them into the prepress process;
Smart CAD: automatically generate imposition plans based on box type and automatically calculate financial data such as material consumption;
Packaging digital prepress process: packaging design, production process management.

4. Security anti-counterfeiting technology Security anti-counterfeiting refers to the combination of field lines and dots that vary in thickness and thickness to create anti-counterfeiting elements such as group flowers, shading, latent images, twist lines, prints, etc.; and cooperate with optical principles to realize refraction, unlocking, and latent images. Such anti-counterfeit special effects are used to achieve the similar effect that scanning instruments, general software and even the same software cannot replicate.
The main research contents include: security shading anti-counterfeiting technology, copy anti-counterfeiting technology, security printing technology.
