Digital Printing 844
Broadened Horizons
Production inkjet breaks barriers in terms of impressions per minute (ipm) and maximum monthly output. These devices continue to move closer to the speed and price of traditional offset. However, it’s improved print quality, uptime, and color gamut that attract new users.
All Jazzed Up
Print enhancements and embellishments alter the look of a printed piece, sometimes adding a tactile effect. Depending on the desired finish, these effects stand out from the pack and can even elicit an emotional response from the recipient or viewer.
Meeting New Demands
Print service providers (PSPs) are an essential aspect of every community. As businesses adapt to new needs brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, they rely on printed communications to share updated processes and feature new products or services.
Election Time
In election years, print providers are called upon for many related applications, from lawn signs to “I Voted” stickers. However, ballots—printed for both in-person and by-mail voting—represent a critical element of the nation’s democratic process.
Maintaining Product Integrity
Product integrity is one of the most important considerations for brand owners. Counterfeiting is a large—and growing—concern and security features prevent and deter it in the label print process.
