Viewed separately, the production process of skis may seem simple, but in fact, it is quite complicated. If there is a problem in each step, it will affect the overall quality of the ski. Today, the snowboard manufacturers will talk to you about the problems that are easy to occur during the production and processing of snowboards, and help you buy snowboards with more evidence.
We have talked about the production steps of skis before, so I won't talk about it here. There are relatively few problems with abrasives and board cores when making skis, but they will not always be without problems. There may be insufficient polishing thickness or insufficient height of the board head or tail. Next, the dry edge strips will affect the adhesion of the snowboard if the camber is not enough. However, there are generally no problems with these two parts.
The most problematic part is the panel printing part. The printing methods of snowboard panels are roughly divided into three types: thermal transfer, digital printing, and screen printing. When using thermal transfer printing, because of the temperature change, the color will sometimes change, and the color will be different in mass production. It is not necessary to use it as a sample or small batch production. The printing speed of digital printing is slightly slower, suitable for making a model, and the color is more accurate. As long as the screen printing is correct for the color number, the problem of color difference will generally not occur. When the panel is printed, it needs to be in a clean and closed space to prevent dust from affecting the printing quality. Every step of the printing staff will check to prevent the pattern from appearing particles. However, after the printing is completed, the panel will be pasted with protective paper to the bonding part. If there is a problem at this time, it can only be found at the end.
There are also fewer problems with the bonding part of the snowboard, but there will also be problems with larger bonding gaps or leakage of dry edge strips. Finally, the degree of operation can be seen intuitively in the polished part of the snowboard, so there is generally no problem.
The above problems are all problems that may be encountered in the production and processing of skis. Therefore, when purchasing skis in large quantities, you need to choose a more powerful ski manufacturer. Professional quality control and quality inspection can avoid many quality problems of skis.
