Digital technology in the industrial printing industry has remained a buzzword, and its proliferation has been fierce, meaning those that lag in adoption will suffer real consequences in the marketplace. The rise of digital printing technology has provided advertisers and manufacturers alike with high quality, efficient results in printing, packaging, and display products. We\u2019ve outlined the value propositions consistent with digital printing technology and their impact on the packaging sector, as well as industry trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Value Proposition: Cost Reduction in Industrial Printing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The analog printing system has made progress in its usability and design, but can be cumbersome, resulting in system interruption during production to adjust print jobs. System downtime can not only cause delays, but can drive up setup cost. Digital printing has diligently reduced the setup time for jobs, offering cost reduction including the ability to produce smaller batches at high speed, consistency across production resulting in reduced waste, fewer output variations, and lower setup cost in between runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Value Proposition: Faster Response <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Digital technology allows for image setup to be swift and turnaround time to be lowered. This is a competitive advantage for printers, and a necessity for many packaging producers. Tedious analog setup would delay project starts, and if multiple imagery were a requirement, extend project time even further. Printers that can remain nimble and responsive will gain a competitive advantage and scale their business at a greater pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
