4. Paper and cardboard

The authoritative department described the overall situation of China's paper and paperboard and paper products in 2006 and the general situation of import and export: The nation's pulp, paper and paper products manufacturers have achieved simultaneous growth in efficiency and speed, but they should see an increase in the production of paper and paper products. At the same time, the increase in finished goods inventories, the increase in the loss of loss-making enterprises, and the increase in the net amount of accounts receivable should also be given full attention; in terms of imports and exports, the overall situation is: the growth rate of waste paper imports has slowed down. The price dropped slightly (down 2.9% year-on-year); the import volume of pulp continued to increase steadily and the price rose (up 12.5% ​​year-on-year); the export volume of various types of paper products went down, and the import volume declined.

The table below shows the production, reference prices, and output values ​​of paper and paperboard that have a close relationship with the printing industry in 2006.

Third, several issues related to statistics

To say a few words outside the sentence, limited by space limitations can only be generalized.

1. Sub-items of production value statistics in the printing industry should be more in line with reality

This year, there have been some improvements in the classification of the printing industry, with the addition of two sub-items, namely printing of this volume and printing of commercial paper. However, there is still a gap between the more popular classifications in the world, such as the printing of advertisements and the classification of Label printing. These two fields are now developing rapidly, but now exist in other sub-items, or are not included. It seems that There is still a lot of work to do in classification and statistics.

2. Classification of tariff lines should be more accurate

It is impossible to do a full "seat" in many categories of products, but can we be more accurate than now? The current problem is that the same product may have two or more than two tax numbers, and the product varieties included in the same tariff number are quite different in terms of grades and uses, which brings about greater difficulties in classification statistics. , despite the fact that the project has changed greatly, we still hope to see improvement.

3. The widening of the export printing equipment field should draw attention

We are accustomed to dividing printing equipment into prepress, printing and postpress. Printing actually refers to the printing press. Traditionally, we have divided the printing press into offset printing presses, gravure printing presses, screen printing presses and so on. However, in recent years, inkjet printers can be said to have emerged suddenly. The above statistics show that: In 2006, the number of exports was ranked first in inkjet printers, the number of exports was 16,147 units, and the total amount was US$106 million, accounting for 26.37 of the total export amount of the year. %.

4. Inaccurate import CTP plate statistics

Offset plates can be divided into two major categories: conventional PS plates and CTP plates for direct platemaking. In terms of quantity, we are already a large producer and consumer of conventional plates, but the proportion of CTP plates in the entire plate is still relatively low. Judging from the number of statistics, 2006 has made great progress. According to statistics from the Print Technology Magazine, as of September 2006, China installed 726 CTP platesetters; according to statistics from the China Textile and Equipment Equipment Industry Association’s equipment branch, the domestic (including foreign-funded) CTP production volume has reached 18 million square meters (of which the thermal plate is about 10 million square meters, and the photosensitive plate is about 8 million square meters), and imported thermal CTP plate material was 4.3 million square meters. Since there is no tax code for non-thermosensitive CTP plate (in 2006, The 600,000-square-meter plate material imported under the PS royalty number is worth 7.12 million U.S. dollars and the average price is 11.9 U.S. dollars per square meter. There is reason to suspect that it is not a regular PS plate but a non-thermosensitive CTP plate. It can be said that the actual import of the domestic CTP plate Material and published statistics are inconsistent.
