21. TOI Designers:-
TOI Designers typically use desktop publishing software
to arrange the elements on the pages directly.
With photographic printing process, typesetting gave way
to paste-up, whereby columns of type were printed by
machines on high-resolution film for paste-up on
photographed final prints.
These prints in turn were "shot to negative" with a large
format production camera —directly to steel-emulsion
photographic plates.
22. Though paste-up put an end to cumbersome typesetting, this
still required planned layouts and set column widths.
Photographic plates are still wrapped on printing drums to
directly apply ink to newsprint (paper).
Replacing several in-between steps in newspaper production
at TOI, direct to plate pagination allowed for much more
flexibility and precision than before.
Today TOI still used column grid layouts only with layout
software, such as Adobe In Design or Quark.
24. Direct printing:-
In direct printing the image is transferred directly from the
image carrier to the substrate.
Examples of direct printing are gravure, flexography, screen
printing and letterpress printing processes.
Times of India uses gravure and screen printing at there place
for printing newspapers.
25.
26. Gravure process:-
In the intaglio ( GRAVURE) process, the nonprinting area
is at a common surface level with the substrate while the
printing area, consisting of minute etched or engraved
wells of differing depth and/or size, is recessed.
In the screen process (also known as porous printing), the
image is transferred to the substrate by pushing ink
through a porous mesh which carries the pictorial or
typographic image.
Each printing process can be divided into three major
steps: prepress, press, and post press.
27. Prepress:-
Prepress operations encompass that series
of steps during which the idea for a printed
image is converted into an image carrier
such as a plate, cylinder, or screen.
Prepress operations include composition
and typesetting, graphic arts photography,
image assembly, and image carrier
preparation.
28.
29. Press and Post press:-
Press refers to actual printing operations.
Post press primarily involves the assembly of
printed materials and consists of binding and
finishing operations.
Within each process, a variety of chemicals are
used, depending on the types of operation
involved.
31. Times of India uses line layout for the production .
In this type of layout the machines and equipments are
arranged in one line depending upon the sequence of
operations required for the product. It is also called as
line layout.
The material moves to another machine sequentially
without any backtracking or deviation i.e. the output of
one machine becomes input of the next machine.
It requires a very little material handling. It is used for
mass production of standardized products.
