Ukusungulwa nokuthuthukiswa kwabezindaba zokuphrinta kudlala indima ebalulekile ekusakazweni kwempucuko namasiko abantu.
Ngo-1439, uGutenberg, eJalimane, wakhiqiza umshini wokuphrinta we-leadercerepress. Yize lo mshini wokuphrinta wesandla wesandla oqonde mpo unesakhiwo esilula, sisetshenziselwe iminyaka engama-300; Ngo-1812, iJalimane Koenig lenzelwa umshini wokuphrinta wokuqala weTaiwan Yuan Flat Letterress; Hoy e-United States wasungula umshini wokuphrinta we-rotary ngo-1847; Ngo-1900, kwenziwa umshini wokunyathelisa onemibala eyisithupha; Ngo-1904, uRubel e-United States wasungula umshini wokuphrinta we-offset.
Ngaphambi kweminyaka yama-1950s, inqubo yokuphrinta yendabuko ehlala endaweni evelele emkhakheni wokuphrinta, futhi ukuthuthukiswa kwemishini yokunyathelisa kwabuswa futhi ngemishini yokuphrinta ye-Letterpress. Kodwa-ke, inqubo yokuphrinta yokuphrinta ye-Movel Alloy inobunzima bokuqina kwabasebenzi, umjikelezo omude wokukhiqiza kanye nokungcoliswa kwemvelo. Kusukela ngawo-1960s, izinqubo zokuphrinta ze-offsetsutset esesesimweni esifushane nomjikelezo ophakeme kwaqala ukukhuphuka nokukhula, futhi ukushicilelwa kwe-Movie Feakulungiso kwashintshwa kancane kancane ngokuphrinta kwe-offset. Ukuphrinta okuthe xaxa, ukuphrinta okuthe xaxa, ukuphrinta kwe-elekthrostiki, ukuphrinta kwe-inkjet, njll.
Imishini yokuphrinta yomhlaba yenze intuthuko enkulu kusukela ngo-1980. Iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20, ukuthuthukiswa kwemishini yokunyathelisa kudlule ezigabeni ezintathu:
Isigaba sokuqala sasivela ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-1980 ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-1990. Lesi sigaba sasiwukuphela kwentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe bokuphrinta e-offset. Ijubane elikhulu lokuphrinta le-Offfet offset Cinder ngalesi sikhathi lalingamaphrinta / ihora le-10,000. Isikhathi sokulungiswa kwangaphambi kokulungiswa komshini wokuphrinta wemibala emine ngaphambi kokuphrinta ngokuvamile cishe amahora ama-2. Ukulawulwa okuzenzakalelayo komshini wokuphrinta ikakhulukazi kugxile ezicini ze-othomathikhi ezihambisana nephepha, ukulethwa kwamaphepha okuzenzakalelayo, ukugeza okuzenzakalelayo, ukutholwa okuzenzakalelayo kombala we-ink, nokulawulwa okukude kwerejista. Ngaphezu kwemingcindezi emibala emibala emibili nemibala emibili ngalesi sikhathi, cishe wonke umenzi we-Offset Offset Cindezela wawunomthamo wokukhiqiza wemishini emibala emine, futhi iningi labakhiqizi bakwazi ukukhiqiza izindlela zokuguqula amaphepha zokuphrinta okuhlangene kabili.
Isigaba sesibili sivela ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-1990 ngasekupheleni kwekhulu lama-20. Ngawo-1990s, ngokunyatheliswa kwe-Offset-Feety Offset Offset Press njengophawu, ukwakheka kanye nokukhiqiza izilinganiso zemishini yokunyathelisa emhlabeni kuthathe igxathu elikhulu phambili. Uma kuqhathaniswa namamodeli esiteji sokuqala, ijubane lamamodeli amasha wesizukulwane selithuthukile, kusukela kumaphrinta / amaphrinta / isikhathi esingu-10,000 kuya ku-15,000 amaphrinta / nesikhathi sokulungiswa kwe-Pre-Press kuye kwafinyezwa kusuka kumahora angama-2. mayelana. Izinga elizenzakalelayo nokusebenza kahle komshini kuthuthukiswe kakhulu.
Kusukela ukungena kuleli khulu lama-21, imishini yokunyathelisa iye yavela esigabeni sesithathu sokuthuthuka. Amanye amamodeli we-Sheet-Feed Offset Pressions Pressions angafinyelela ama-Prints / ihora le-17,000-18,000, kepha abakhiqizi abalweli ukwandisa isivinini esikhulu sokuphrinta somshini wokuphrinta, kepha ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bolwazi ukuze unciphise isikhathi sokulungiselela ukusebenza kwangaphambi kokucindezela.
Endaweni yokuphrinta imishini ezenzakalelayo, ubuchwepheshe obufana nezokuxhumana, ukuhlanganiswa kokukhiqizwa, ukuhlanganiswa komsebenzi wedijithali, uhlelo lwemisebenzi yedijithali (MIS) Ukuxhumanisa sekugxilwe ekuthuthukisweni. Uhlelo lokulawula okuzenzakalelayo lweHeidelberg Ngaphezu kwawo wonke umshini kusuka ephepheni lokudla, ukuqondisa amaphepha, ukufundwa kwamanzi, ukugcwaliswa kwamanzi, ukubhaliswa kwamanzi, ukuhanjiswa kwe-inthanethi kwedatha yokuphrinta yokuphrinta (I-CIP3 / PPF noma idatha ye-CIP4 / JDF). Ekhulwini elisha, abakhiqizi abaningi be-Offset bokunyathelisa abacindezelayo bathuthukise abaqeqeshi abaqeqeshiwe be-DI Digital.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuze uhlangabezane nesidingo sabantu semibala ephelele yombala, ukuphrinta okunemibala emibili emibalabala emibili nemishini yokuphrinta emincane ye-Offset, futhi ubuchwepheshe buqala ukwenziwa kabusha, lolu hlobo lomshini wokuphrinta luqale ukunciphisa ingxenye yemakethe eyayingowasemakethe ekuqaleni kumshini wokuphrinta we-web.
