1. Color selection: The color of business card can be divided into single color, double color, color and true color to determine different printing times. Because the three primary colors can form a color, the pure color pattern has no black color, and no black color picture has a low color. We often say that the color pattern consists of four colors, which is also called true color. Some offset printing cards do not have pictures, but they also consist of three colors. They are also color cards. Computer color cards are called color, but they are black. Because their patterns are colored, they are also called color cards. Computer cards are not printed.

VI. Business Card Printing Business card printing currently has three main types. The simplest is laser printing, followed by offset printing, and screen printing is the most complicated. Currently, laser printing and offset printing are widely used, and screen printing is relatively rare.

1. Laser printing: The most widely used printing method at present. Offset printing and screen printing are also inseparable from laser printing, and their simple plate making is also accomplished by laser printing. The current laser printing can be divided into two types of black and color, they can make different grades of computer business cards.

2. Offset printing: It is the most commonly used business card printing method. Its use is much more complicated than that of a computer business card. First, a well-designed business card template should be printed on a transfer paper, or printed into a printed film (a color picture with a network cable), and then transferred to paper or film using a printing machine. On the business card version of the sun to the business card dedicated PS print version, the sun will be good PS version of the business card offset printing machine can be printed.

3, screen printing: because it is not suitable for paper printing, rarely used in business card printing. Screen printing and offset printing, also need to design a good business card sample on the transfer paper, or printed into a film, and then use a dedicated screen printing machine to transfer paper or film on the pattern of the film On the screen printing plate, the screen plate can be printed on the screen printing machine.

Seventh, the post-processing offset printing business card and special business card printing can be delivered only after the box is filled, and at most, the bronzing operation is required. The post-processing of business cards is mainly computer business card paper. Because its large-format and low-thickness paper cannot be used immediately, it has to undergo post-processing such as plastics, die-cutting, bronzing, and cartoning.

1, plastic: low thickness of computer business card paper should be thickened, the only way is to use plastic. Plastic business cards have been popular in China for many years. At present, it is still a major form of business card production. After business cards are plastic, they must be cut into business cards.

2. Checa: Cut plastic business card paper into business cards. Current computer business cards must be cut into cards before they can be used normally. Business card cutting cards are an important process in the production of computer business cards.

3, bronzing: Many computer business cards, offset business card customers are required to carry out the gilding of the logo or company name, bronzing is the last process in business card printing. Hot stamping is the use of a special hot stamping machine to emboss various colors of anodized aluminum materials on business cards.

4. Cartoning: After the business card is made, it is packed into a special business card box, which is to say, the entire production process of the business card is completed.

VIII. After the delivery business card is completed, it must be handed to the business card manufacturer to complete the entire business card production task. At present, the main delivery method for business cards is two types: customer pick-up and delivery.

1. Self-acquisition: The business cards picked up by the customers are generally urgently needed by the custom-made people. The business card printing shops are temporarily hand-delivered because of the busy business. The customers know that the business card is printed and come to collect them.

2. Delivery: Most business cards require business card printing stores to deliver. The advantage of business card delivery is that it is easy to communicate with users and form a long-term user community.
