Features: These past dozen years have also been a crucial period for continuous exchange and alignment between China's printing industry and the global printing industry. It was during this time that China's printing industry completed its historic transformation, bidding farewell to the "lead and fire" era and embracing the "light and electricity" era. With the gradual realization of the 16-character development principle for printing technology—"photomechanical typesetting, electronic color separation, high-speed offset printing, and automated binding"—and the establishment of new guidelines for China's printing technology development such as "digital prepress, networked printing; multi-color, high-efficiency printing; diverse postpress, automated binding; and high-quality, serialized equipment," China's printing industry finally gained the technical foundation and possibility to engage in dialogue with international advanced levels. As the only specialized book publishing institution in the printing industry, China Printing Industry Press has been dedicated to publishing professional books on printing technology and management. Over the past 20-plus years, it has published hundreds of professional books, making significant contributions to the technological advancement of the printing industry. Today, as China's printing enterprises increasingly connect with the global market and the printing technology and industry landscape undergo profound transformations, China Printing Industry Press has once again kept pace with the times and industry trends by launching the "21st Century Printing Classic Translation Series," highlighting the sense of responsibility and mission of an industry-focused publisher. This series will greatly help domestic printing enterprises understand the latest global printing technologies and advanced operational models of leading printing companies.
