        Digital printing machine, also known as universal flatbed printer or flatbed printer, has broken through the bottleneck of digital printing technology, realizing a true printing, no plate making, full color image once completed, is a replacement product of traditional printing machine.
        The concept is macroscopically no problem, but the views of the industry are not the same. In fact, there are no fewer than ten categories of digital presses, but there are two common predecessors behind them to provide technical support and design basis - printers and traditional printing presses.
        Depending on the application, digital printing equipment can be divided into industrial and office digital printing machines (also known as digital printing integrated machines). Representatives of office digital integrated machines are Toshiba, Konica, Ricoh, Canon, Xerox, Oce, etc.; typical representatives of industrial digital printing machines are Kodak digital printing machines, Kemei and so on. According to the above, the predecessor of the office digital printing machine is a digital printer; while the industrial digital printing machine inherits the ink transmission mode and mechanical design of the traditional printing equipment, and truly enables the digital printing machine to realize commercial printing.
         Depending on the source of the technology, the existing digital printing equipment on the market can be divided into four categories.
        1. Digital printing integrated machine (developed by copier technology plus digital technology). The device is transformed from a single output device to a digital input and output device. The device is easy to operate and the working environment is clean. The batch printing service system becomes a reality, and the user is more convenient. The system is low in cost and has strong competitiveness. . These advantages have the potential to dominate the market for office printing equipment.
        2, digital MFP (developed from the basis of printer technology). This kind of printer is the backbone of the current office printing press. The working principle is almost the same as that of the digital printing integrated machine, but since there is no high-speed laser printer core technology (except for Canon and Xerox integrated machines), such machines can only compete with fax machines and ordinary printers.
        3. Digital printing press (developed from printing press technology, digital technology and electronic ink technology). Digital printing machines are the representative products of modern high-speed digital printing equipment.

       4. Large-scale digital printing press (developed by printing press technology plus digital technology and in-machine direct plate making technology).
