我国印花机行业正在朝多元化方向发展

纺织业是是劳动密集型和具有比较优势的传统产业，也是我国竞争力较强和国内外依存度较高的产业。纺织业的发展离不开热转移印花机的发展，随着纺织行业的利润逐渐被压损，印花机行业的发展也受到了一定的影响。在这样的背景下，印花机行业正在朝向技术多元化的方向发展。

尚普咨询轻工行业分析师指出：我国的纺织企业具有典型的微利行业特征。纺织微利时代的到来对纺织产业链印花行业造成了很大的影响，使得印花行业也步入了微利时代。同时，对于印花技术的要求却在与日俱增。

相关数据显示，我国印机行业有500多家企业，民营企业占98%(包括配套企业)。长期以来，印花行业采用的多是人工印花，成本高、产能低。但是目前，单一的人工印花技术已经无法满足纺织行业的发展需求。在需求倒逼的机制下，印花行业不断进行技术革新，使得行业呈现出技术多元化的发展趋势。

喷墨印花机正在成为行业技术发展的潮流。它能够有效缩短产品上市的时间，预计喷墨印花机的市场规模将从2011年的1.7亿美元和2012年的2.18亿美元增长到2017年的7.48亿美元。此外，织物印花也迅速发展起来。新型纤维特别是聚醋纤维以及活性和分散染料的相继问世，使得织物印花技术得以不断发展。

现代信息控制技术也已渗透到印花机械各个领域。自动化技术推动了印花行业的发展。通过信息控制技术，突破了众多自动化印花机因干燥问题带来的效率瓶颈，较大限度的满足了承印物对油墨、水性涂料干燥条件的要求。此外，自动化、人机对话、工艺设定、自动检测与控制、远程诊断等手段在印花机领域中也被广泛使用。

Textile industry is a traditional industry with labor-intensive and comparative advantages. It is also an industry with strong competitiveness and high international dependence in China. The development of textile industry is inseparable from the development of heat transfer printing machine. With the profit of textile industry gradually being reduced, the development of printing machine industry has also been affected. In this context, the printing machine industry is moving towards the direction of technological diversification.

Shangpu consulting light industry analysts pointed out: China's textile enterprises have typical characteristics of low profit industry. The arrival of textile low profit era has a great impact on the textile industry chain printing industry, making the printing industry also entered the era of meager profit. At the same time, the demand for printing technology is increasing.

According to relevant data, there are more than 500 enterprises in China's printing machine industry, among which private enterprises account for 98% (including supporting enterprises). For a long time, the printing industry adopts manual printing, which has high cost and low production capacity. But at present, the single manual printing technology has been unable to meet the development needs of the textile industry. Under the mechanism of backward demand, the printing industry continues to carry out technological innovation, which makes the industry show a trend of technological diversification.

Ink jet printing machine is becoming the trend of industry technology development. It can effectively shorten the time to market, and the market size of inkjet printing machine is expected to increase from $170 million in 2011 and $218 million in 2012 to $748 million in 2017. In addition, textile printing has developed rapidly. With the advent of new fibers, especially polyacetic acid fiber and reactive and disperse dyes, textile printing technology has been developed continuously.

Modern information control technology has also penetrated into various fields of printing machinery. Automation technology promotes the development of printing industry. Through the information control technology, the efficiency bottleneck caused by drying problems of many automatic printing machines has been broken through, and the drying conditions of ink and water-based coating for substrate have been met to a large extent. In addition, automation, man-machine dialogue, process setting, automatic detection and control, remote diagnosis and other means are also widely used in the field of printing machine.
