The basic requirements for a good Spring Festival couplet product
The most basic requirements for a good Spring Festival couplet product for making Yang artwork are: beautiful fonts, novel content, exquisite printing, and excellent paper. These four points are the key to whether Spring Festival couplets can achieve better economic benefits in market sales. . Therefore, the characters used in the Spring Festival couplets must be beautifully written and have profound calligraphy skills.
Preparation of text positive artwork:
â‘ Select spring couplets with a wide range of applications and novel and auspicious contents from the Spring Festival couplets, enter them into the computer, and select fonts such as regular script, regular script, Lishu, Weibei and other fonts on the computer. Printed with a laser printer, imposition can be used for printing.
â‘¡ Select the spring couplets with good content from the printed spring couplets, copy them to white paper with a copier, and enlarge or shrink according to the requirements when copying. In general, the red part becomes black or gray when copying the spring couplets. Painted in white and copied again, you can get a clear text draft, soaked in wax with wax, it will become a transparent text draft, which can be used as a positive photo.
â‘¢ Calligraphers or people with certain calligraphy skills should write the Spring Festival couplets, preferably directly on transparent cellophane. If it is written on rice paper or plain white paper, it can be used for plate making after being soaked in wax.
If the text is the bones of the Spring Festival couplets, then the pattern is the meat of the Spring Festival couplets. In the Spring Festival couplets, the pattern can play a decorative role, and the meaning of the words to be expressed in the Spring Festival couplet characters can be expressed indirectly through the pattern. From an artistic point of view, the pattern can add a layer to the Spring Festival couplet picture, and it is not dull and plain visually.
Preparation of patterns:
â‘ Copy method This method is mainly to find some white drawing pictures to copy it, and then wax the copied manuscript, which can be used for printing after imposition. The content can be selected from landscape paintings, figure paintings, flowers, animals, etc. The pattern drafts made by this method are of high quality and low cost.
â‘¡The advantage of manual drawing is that it can avoid the difficulty of imposition caused by the inconsistency between the size and the length of the spring couplet encountered when copying white drawings. The key to manual drawing is that the drafters have high requirements on the art level. The outer stroke of the text must be drawn manually.
â‘¢Electronic color separation design a color pattern draft with the same size as the Spring Festival couplet. After the color separation by the electronic color separation machine, the four-color positive picture of yellow, magenta, cyan and black can be obtained. You can print out color couplets.
Plate making
Put the pattern draft and the transparent stroke draft together, align it with the rule line, place it on the plate-making machine, turn on the exposure lamp, coincide with the registration line on the plate-making machine glass, and fix it with double-sided tape or transparent tape. Drop the exposure lamp; apply the photosensitive glue under the red light in the dark room, blow dry and put the screen on the plate making machine, cover it with a piece of black paper, put a foam board on the paper, and press heavy objects such as bricks on it; At this time, adjust the timer and press the exposure button to start exposure. The time is 5 minutes. When the time is up, it will automatically shut down. Remove the screen and rinse it with water; turn on the light and check the screen. Continue to flush the unsaturated part. Until it is clear. The method is the same when making text version. After the pattern plate is dried, use the sealing glue or photosensitive glue to smear the part of the pattern to be printed in the text stroke, seal the periphery of the screen plate after drying, and wait for use.
Printing working conditions
1. The equipment printing spring couplets seem to be simple, but the production conditions are high. The most important thing is that the plate-making printing equipment is large. In terms of 150m long spring couplets, the direct working area of ​​its plate-making printing equipment must reach more than 150m, generally The maximum printing area of ​​the offset printing machine is fully open (110m), which shows that ordinary offset printing machines cannot produce spring couplets of more than 150m, which is why there are few spring couplets with lengths of more than 110m in offset printing couplets. When using the screen printing method, if you want to produce spring couplets over 150m, you must have a large spring couplet plate-making printing machine or a large plate-making machine.
2. Paper screen printing couplets are better to use red paper for printing, because printing red couplets with red paper is simpler than printing white couplets with white paper, and the cost of plate making is low. There are many varieties of red paper, including rose red paper and vermilion paper in color, and organic brushed red paper and hand brushed red paper in production process. Screen printing Spring Festival couplets are best to use vermilion brushing red paper. There is a year-round red spring couplet paper in the south. This paper is characterized by rain resistance, lightfastness, and no color fading throughout the year. The color is vermilion, which gradually changes to deep red after a period of sun exposure, and it dries after rain. It's still red. Spring couplets made from this kind of paper are affixed to the door. They are red all year round, and the effect is very good. People in the South generally subscribe to this Spring Festival couplet product, and the Spring Festival couplets printed on ordinary red paper are uninterested. This is because it often rains during the Spring Festival in the South. The Spring Festival has become very disappointing.
3. Ink for screen printing Spring Festival couplets, generally offset resin ink, black enamel and offset resin ink can also be used. Another method is to use black offset ink and varnish. Spring couplets printed with these inks are black and bright. The auxiliary materials are: red dry oil, white dry oil, gasoline, thinner, banana water, acetone, xylene, etc. Gold ink can be offset gold ink, gold powder can be used to adjust xylene, plus varnish. Diluent can be gasoline. The concentration is suitable for non-dry net.
4. The material used for bronzing is vinyl chloride paste used for connecting rubber, the anodized aluminum (golden color) used for bronzing material, and the bronzing equipment is a bronzing machine or electric iron.
5. Workroom The workroom should be at least 20m2, and the walls are lined with rows of wires, with a spacing of 33cm, for hanging couplets. The larger the work area, the higher the production efficiency.
1. Red paper screen printing couplets Place the cut red paper on the glass, turn on the copy exposure lamp, align the position of the red paper and the original, fix the red paper positioning mark with double-sided tape, and then make the finished Place the screen on the red paper, align the position, and clamp the screen on the clip. Turn off the lights, put down the screen, put the adjusted gold ink on one end of the screen, scrape from this end to the other end with a scraper, lift the screen and check the printing effect. When printing, each sheet should be aligned to ensure that the text can be printed exactly within the stroke when printing black text. When printing, two people are required to work at the same time. After the first golden drier, print the black text again in the same way as when printing the golden pattern, and pay attention to the registration when printing.
In printing, the most likely fault is that the ink is squeezed out from under the net. The reasons are: first, the screen is stretched loosely, causing gaps between the net and the paper, and the other reason is that the ink is too thin, especially when printing text Such problems are most likely to occur. In screen printing, the dry screen is also one of the problems that are easy to appear. In summer, the temperature is high, the ink dries quickly, and the easy-dry network. At this time, 783 slow dry water can be added to the ink, and when there is no 783 slow dry water, add some diesel. Winter The temperature is low and the drying is slow. Red or white oil should be added to the ink. Acetone, xylene, banana water, thinner, gasoline, etc. can also be added. The indoor temperature must be kept above 15 ℃.
In printing, sometimes the ink dries too slowly. For example, when the indoor wire is completely full, the ink that was printed at the beginning is still not dry and cannot be collected, which will affect the continued printing. If the ink dries quickly, it is easy to dry the net, increasing the number of times to wipe the net. To solve this problem, first make sure that after the first sheet is printed and removed, put the second sheet of paper, and then put down the screen, the net will not dry for a period of time, so that the part that remains on the screen when printing for the first time The ink is printed on the paper again. In this way, the ink density should be suitable, and will not squeeze out from the bottom. Another point is that when the wire in the room is full, the spring couplets on the first wire are completely dry. At this time, you can put away the spring couplets on the line and continue printing. To achieve the above two points, you must know a variety of factors such as ink performance, thinner characteristics, seasonal temperature, and find out practical experience in your work. Only in this way can you print a good product, and the work efficiency will be greatly improved.
2. The printing material of red paper bronzing couplets bronzing spring couplets is perchlorinated vinyl paste, which needs to be purchased in chemical reagent stores, and can also be purchased in plastic factories. If you can not buy this slurry, you can use vinyl chloride resin, xylene, cyclohexanone to make vinyl chloride slurry. The formula is as follows: perchlorethylene resin 100g xylene 50mL cyclohexanone 350mL. Add perchlorethylene resin to the mixed solution of xylene cyclohexanone to dissolve, that is to obtain perchloroethylene slurry.
In printing, use vinyl chloride paste instead of ink and print it on red paper. Before it is almost dry, put on anodized aluminum, heat and pressurize it with a hot stamping machine or electric iron, and keep the temperature not too high. Then tear off the excess anodized aluminum, and the bronzing effect appears.
