2. Introduction Digital printing has changed the graphic arts industry and continue to change it. Both page/document and wide format digital printing have caused an upheaval in the workforce, skillsets, technologies, and marketing of print-based communication. Just as letterpress printing services once had to re-invent themselves when offset lithography entered the industry, printers have had to adapt to new printing technology, workflows, print products, and value added services.
3.
4. Trends In Printing Industry 1 Print volumes are down in industrialised nations, but up in other nations, based on labour rates. 2 Print costs are rising faster than prices charged for print products and services. 3 A new breed of copy shop with digital printing is evolving – fostering the re-birth of the small printer. 4 Digital printing is making significant inroads at the expense of offset and screen printing volumes. Variable Data Printing in all its forms is gaining traction. 5 New value added services and increased efficiency to control costs are important trends in the maintenance of profitability levels. 6 The transaction and direct mail markets are converging, and cross channel marketing is growing. The modern printer is becoming a digital marketer. 7 Offset printers with digital printing are exhibiting higher profits than those without it!
5. There have been severe shifts in print production schedules and this is projected to continue into the future. In 2000, 15 % of jobs were produced in a day or less; this will reach 20 % by 2015. This means that reproduction technology and its related processes must become faster and more efficient. Trends In Printing Industry
6. Trends In Digital Printing Industry There are seven major applications that will fed the growth of digital printing : 1 Short run marketing collateral (brochures, flyers, and booklets) is a leading application for colour digital printing. 2 Direct mail has the highest growth potential. Target marketing fits perfectly with digital printing’s VDP capabilities. 3 One-off and very short-run books and manuals can only be produced effectively with digital printing. 4 Catalogue printing will grow by integrating static and dynamic content. 5 Business identity, which includes business cards and letterheads, will continue to grow. 6 Transpromo materials will integrate bills and statements with promotional content. 7 Colour tags and labels with versioned content are evolving rapidly. Digital printing equipment sales are growing at about 10% worldwide and 11% in Europe!
7. Digital printing enabled and reacted to changes in job run lengths. Printers worldwide report that the long runs of the past are disappearing. Today, such runs are few in number. The major shift in run length trends has been the run length of one. This has grown because of copier volumes, one-off books, and personalised direct mail. TABLE – Run length trends based print and copier volumes, worldwide : Trends In Digital Printing Industry
8. Trends In Digital Printing Industry There are three devices that are involved in the replication of information on paper – the copier , printer, and press. TABLE – Runs on digital printers, total worldwide, 2008
9. By the year 2010 copier volumes will decline and then disappear by 2020. The copier is metamorphosing into a digital printer. This means that users of copiers will become users of digital printers! By 2020, the digital printer will be the dominant printing device. Offset will still be a viable process until 2020, but will decline significantly after 2020. Copier volumes were high because hard-copy workflows print the pages on a digital printer and then copy them. But now most of these original pages are in digital form. Thus the market is changing and more files are being sent directly to MFPs and digital printers. Trends In Digital Printing Industry

12. Digital printing involves any reproduction process that does not use a static image carrier (such as a plate). Every page impression is re-generated, even if they are the same. Digital printing can use any method that places spots of coloured particles on substrates, with toner and inkjet being most common. Static vs. dynamic printing
13. Direct Mail, some Packaging, and Financial/Legal (the letter includes transactional) apply hybrid approaches where static print is combined with dynamic print – about 11 per cent of all printing worldwide is hybrid. The advantage of dynamic printing is that the re-imaging for each sheet lets you do things you cannot do with a static printing press: • Print immediately because there is no significant set-up time ( time advantage ) • Each sheet can be personalised to a person or company ( personalisation advantage ) • Material can be versioned with different copy, such as branch locations ( versioning advantage ) • One multi-page document (book) at a time can be produced using electronic collation ( publication advantage ) • Faster setup with virtually no chemicals or waste ( environmental advantage ) You can only do all of these things on a digital printer! Static vs. dynamic printing
14. Colour trends The movement to full-colour reproduction continues. Monochrome volumes continue to drop. The rate of page volume growth in digital colour printing is now about 51 per cent annually worldwide (51 % in Europe). The use of charts and graphs, imagery, and photos will grow because of the prevalence of spreadsheet software, digital cameras, and graphical programs.
15. Personalised, customised, or variable data printing offers a new value added proposition that has been proven to improve response rates, provide improved customer service, decrease overall costs, reduce time to market, and enhance productivity. Personalisation – and colour – can yield significant improvements in direct marketing promotional programmes. Variable Data Printing From a creative and production point of view, VDP projects are originated by designers, print providers (with their own designers), and enterprises (as in the case of transactional and transpromo). TABLE – Origination of VDP direct marketing, by units produced, worldwide:
16. Variable Data Printing The terms personalised printing, versioned printing, and variable data printing are used synonymously, but there is a slight difference between each. There are four major categories and seven sub-categories:
17. The demands of digital printing from print buyers Quality Except for reproducing a limited number of brand colours, digital printing quality is no longer an issue. New digital colour printers have quality levels that print buyers find so close to offset as to be inconsequential. Cost The key to success in the printing industry has long been cost control. Printers cannot control their market or the pricing of their service, these are subject to competitive forces – but they can control cost.
18. Colour accuracy Colour quality is based on: • Calibration – Adjustment of a device to conformance with specification • Characterisation – Determining the colour gamut of a (calibrated) device • Conversion – Transforming colour to optimise colour reproduction between one (calibrated, characterised) device and another • Constant feedback – Monitoring colour test patches for real time adjustment Digital printing quality can be more accurate than most offset presses because of continuing real-time feedback and adjustment. New resolution of XEROX digital presses of 2400 dpi equate to CTP and offset levels and are optimum for fine halftones, clean and precise lines and type, and smooth gradients and solids. New toners have the ability to replicate gloss or matte paper printing in the same manner as offset.
19. Paper and Media In digital printing with particle-based toner, the substrate is an integral part of the process, requiring the holding or transference of an electrical charge. Over the last few years, paper and equipment manufacturers have collaborated to expand the range of substrates for digital printing substantially, from coated to non-coated, and light weight to heavy weight. TABLE – Media usage and trends, by volume:
Note: Test patterns may be printed and sensors read the patches. Calibration software monitors any shifts in colour and when an unacceptable hue shift is detected, the printer automatically resets itself to instantly produce the correct colour. This capability ensures that the colour is accurate from page-to-page.
