Printing is not a chemical process.

1. The role of printing

The main process of printing is realized through mechanical devices. The function of the printing press is to make the printing plate contact the paper through pressure or passive copying, and transfer graphic information to the paper. In contrast, chemical processes emphasize chemical reactions and changes of substances, such as catalysts for chemical reactions and control of reaction conditions. Printing only involves physical changes.

2. Improvement of printing

The development and evolution of printing mainly focus on the improvement of technology and process. Although some chemical materials are used in the printing process, such as dyes, resins and solvents required to make ink, these chemical materials are usually used as auxiliaries and part of the process, and are not the core of printing itself.

3. The development history of printing

Printing first originated in China. Around 1040 AD, Bi Sheng, a printing master in the Northern Song Dynasty, invented movable type printing. After that, printing spread to Europe, and Gutenberg of Germany invented movable type printing, which revolutionized printing.

4. Application of modern printing technology

With the advancement of science and technology, modern printing technology has developed rapidly, and various efficient and accurate printing methods have emerged, such as digital printing, Inkjet printing, screen printing, etc. These new technologies are not only widely used in industries such as publishing, advertising, packaging and textiles, but also have a profound impact on the fields of art and design.

About the artistic applications and fields of printing

1. The art of printing

Printing is closely related to art design. Through the combination of typesetting, color matching and printing technology Using it, art designers can create uniquely beautiful and expressive works, such as posters, book covers, brochures, etc. Printing provides more artistic expression and creative space.

2. Application of printing

Graphic design is one of the important application areas of printing. By using the technology and principles of printing, graphic designers can visually convey information and ideas. Convey and express through various methods, and create various design works through the combination of layout, graphics, color and other elements.

3. The field of printing

Printing technology is also widely used in the field of art printing. Art prints often undergo special platemaking and printing processes to ensure their quality and uniqueness. The artist's signature and limited edition printing make these works valuable for collection and investment.
