Summary
Specialized worker in the printing plate-making process who attaches carbon tissue to plate material and fixes the photosensitive layer using a burn-in machine.
Description
The carbon tissue burn-in worker is a profession that accurately attaches photosensitive carbon tissue, used in the pre-process of printing plate-making, to the plate material and performs fixing treatment by managing temperature and time with a burn-in machine. Key tasks include adjusting the position of the plate surface and ensuring even heating without unevenness. After burn-in, the support paper is peeled off, and the image uniformity and contrast are inspected. Additionally, maintenance, inspection, cleaning of the burn-in machine, and safety and hygiene management are performed to maintain stable plate-making quality.
Future Outlook
With the spread of digital plate-making technology and the digitization of printed materials, the number of practitioners is on a decreasing trend. However, there remains a possibility of steady demand due to needs for traditional printing and high-value-added printing.
