According to a survey by the state administration of press, publication, radio, film and television (sarft), in 2015, there were 3176,000 people working in the printing industry in China, and a significant proportion of them were front-line printers. They should be one of the most interesting groups in the industry. It was their hard work that made the industry look so lovely and beautiful.

"Boom! With the huge noise, the printing press began to work, and the printers put piles of paper into the printing press, and the machine turned the blank paper onto the assembly line. As the workers operation, every finished product with pictures and quickly from one end of the printer, one side of the printing workers constantly draw the sample for color matching, once found any problem, timely processing debugging, until the color stability.

This is the most common scene in a printing plant, and the most basic impression that most people have of a front-line printer. In fact, The Times are changing, and the definition and concept of the first line are evolving.

In the era of planned economy, the workers in the printing production workshop are the front-line printers, such as the operator of the printing equipment mentioned above, the paper cutter, the packers, the bookbinder, etc.; But with the reform and opening, the rise of the market economy, a lot of prepress design, printing consumables procurement, equipment maintenance, print and distribution, business marketing, even the workshop managers directly, is a line printer. In this sense, as long as it is those who can provide service for printing production and customer directly, is a line printer, the concept of a line printer also got great extension.

According to a survey by the state administration of press, publication, radio, film and television (sarft), in 2015, there were 3176,000 people working in the printing industry in China, and a significant proportion of them were front-line printers. They should be one of the most interesting groups in the industry. It was their hard work that made the industry look so lovely and beautiful.

The hard work of front-line printers.

Front-line printers are hard workers.

Because printing production and timeliness are closely linked, it is urgent that the night shift in the printing plant is a very common thing. Especially for newspaper printing plant workers, "black and white upside down" is the norm, the more night, printers, the more busy, even no holiday concept, working overtime is common, physical tiredness.

At the same time, the working conditions in many printing plant workshops are not ideal. In printing, the contact of ink very harsh, and the solvent used for cleaning printing ink, rubber cloth also has strong excitant odour, all kinds of printing machinery noise rumble through the production of each link. Working in such an environment, front-line printers are under a lot of pressure.

Nevertheless, they abide by the rules and make merry.

Due to large production, short delivery time, printing materials are very hard. Peak season, often need "all-weather" wait, there is no double rest day. Like anhui xinhua printing co., LTD., the captain of the offset printing workshop global group machine Qiu Xiangdong crew, adhere to plant for the home, continuous overload operation, to ensure the materials all delivery on schedule, not delay time limit for a project at a time.

And anhui xinhua desktop group vice President Hao Lixia plate-making workshop is in order to complete an urgent task, day and night, work overtime, continuous work for 40 hours, two days and nights without sleep. At that time, her child was only seven years old, and her father-in-law was ill again. Looking back, she laughed, "the work is too busy to care for so much. Before you know it, it's over."

The insistence of front-line printers.

The front-line printers are laborious, and in the face of hard work, they are not intimidated, but continue to insist.

In this special report, there are some "senior" front-line printers who have been struggling in the printing industry for more than a decade or even decades. For example, wansong mountain of jiangxi xinhua printing group co., LTD., for ten years, never asked for leave without special circumstances, and the attendance rate was among the best in the whole workshop.

At first, these printers were not without the idea of giving up. For example, li gang from the center of the bid, hua xin (foshan) color printing of ye haifeng have had this idea. Li gang, on behalf of their collective voice: "when we first started flirting with the idea of want to change the job around, then over time the idea also did not have a little, but is added to the love of the industry, may leave now."

(for newspaper printers, "black and white" is the norm, and the more quiet the night, the busier the printers are.)

And the love of the industry, the love of printing, let them come back even if they left the industry for some reason. Weihai red sun color printing high-quality goods packaging factory machining shift of trees, ever leave the printing industry to entrepreneurship, but "maybe there is an invisible thread drawing", a few years later, he again to return to the printing industry, to return to the original work, through positive study, finally became a versatile, has become the good assistant of the director. As ye haifeng said, "there is no lack of sincere friends and friendly colleagues around me, so I have the courage to stick to this commitment and do the work I like."

It was their persistence that made the industry look cuter.

The growth of front-line printers.

We will also read many stories about the growth of front-line printers.

The hard work of the first line of work, in their eyes is the necessary stage of growth; And in constant insistence, they eventually grew up. Growth is an inevitable result of hard work and persistence.

For example, zhang tongzheng of the technical quality department of Beijing huaguan printing co., LTD. Has been in the position of printing for more than ten years. For more than a decade, he has worked as an apprentice printer, a printing assistant, a captain, and an engineer in charge of technical quality management.

In printing machine long career, he constantly challenge themselves and drive from responsible for Heidelberg four-color printing presses, Heidelberg five-color printing machine, and then to small, 5 + 1 printing presses, every upgrade, are all volunteered, and personal ability, also joined in this again and again, rising. Achieve individual from his printing press operators to printing engineer, shift from production to guide the production work content, and in her new job constantly consult professional personage and active learning, with industry development trends, to meet greater challenges.

One of the engineers engaged in the foreign trade Cao Guangxin, from a hardware engineer, constantly grow and learn, transition to a service engineer, and with the English study hard, become a qualified foreign trade engineer, footprint across five continents. He grew up, and he also got a lot of surprises for himself.

This kind of growth has no age. Though already into the decade, Qiu Xiangdong with modern printing of the new standard to shape them, a voracious skill learning, dry while learning, the combination of theory and application, summarizes, almost forget all about eating and sleeping. So-called god reward those who work hard, Qiu Xiangdong smoothly through the adult the university entrance exam, not only won the Beijing printing college diploma, was elected to the anhui xinhua in Russia also ratio state investment founded technical force, one of the first printing company in the new era, in exile in talent.

The responsibility of front-line printers.

Growing up means taking on more responsibility. This responsibility is a tireless pursuit of product quality and a love of work.

Mount song is such a person who has the courage to take responsibility. In production, he remembers that production is the goal, quality is life, and the quality of the product is always kept in mind, and the quality is never neglected in order to drive production. He put the error-prone inky, overprint, dirty, folding, such as unstable factors, firmly control in production process, carefully earnestly to do a good job of self-inspection, never let the unqualified products flow into the next process.

Zhang with are experienced professionals, to become a technical quality engineer, responsible for outbound calendar color control, quality follow up, the color of the internal cover up detection, flat printing and rotary printing key sign samples with color contrast, etc., the sense of responsibility has been combined with his work.

Growth means more responsibility. This responsibility is a tireless pursuit of product quality and a love of work.

Responsibility means courage, commitment, and the true meaning of life. As ye haifeng said, "if we can make work more interesting and more energetic, we will feel the true meaning and happiness of life."

This is the front-line printing workers, who are ordinary and ordinary, but use their own hands to create wealth for society and create value for customers. They are young and rich, with hard work and bold blood. They are persistent, never afraid of difficulties and shrink back. Maybe they don't have a high degree, they don't graduate from a prestigious university, but they show wisdom everywhere in their jobs. They are a group of ordinary workers, under the influence of corporate culture, strong and resolute fighters, the mission of the enterprise is silent orders, no one will compromise, to complain. When the fruits of their labor are transported to all parts of the country, their faces will naturally reveal a kind of contentment and happiness...
