IMIA Lightning Talk 2016

It's an exciting time to print
maps because printing is
changing at lightning speed.
www.whmap.com
Printers are at the forefront of
digital and electronic innovations
www.whmap.com
We are uniquely positioned to
share the benefits of these new
technologies.
www.whmap.com
The industry is continually
evolving to meet the needs of its
consumers, communities, and the
environment.
www.whmap.com
Innovations provide us with the
way to fill market needs for map
printing in ways that we never
could before.
www.whmap.com
We use Ink Jet for
personalization
www.whmap.com
We can do 1, 2 or 20 maps
economically.
www.whmap.com
Digital technologies: one side now
approaching two sides and folded.
www.whmap.com
The most exciting innovation is
the diversity of stocks that we can
run on ink jet now. In the past, the
selection of paper was narrow
and not suited for maps.
www.whmap.com
We have learned to take traditional
map stocks like nautical chart paper,
high wet strength, vinyl, and paper
tiger and get good results with inkjet.
www.whmap.com
The old paradigm: there are three
aspects to every printing job, price
quality and service, (emphasis on
speed) under the old paradigm,
You could have any two.
www.whmap.com
Lots of improvements in
technology that have improved
the quality and speed of
turnaround times (service).
www.whmap.com
As manufacturing picks up in
North America, it is increasing
demand on the printing industry.
www.whmap.com
As the economy steadily improves
there is more advertising which is
good for the printing industry.
www.whmap.com
Don’t be surprised if the cost of
printing goes up: if we get
protectionist trade policies and
tariffs, the cost of materials will
increase. This will be especially
Significant in long term contracts.
www.whmap.com
There is a trend for increased
hard copy product, driven by
some of the players that led the
charge for all digital product.
www.whmap.com
Map publishers are coming to
realize that there is a need for
hard copy product as a result of
recognizing the vulnerabilities in
their IT network.
www.whmap.com
As some cartographic product
transition from a wholly digital
environment to a dual digital/hard
copy, printing becomes more than
just an expense, it is now value
added.
www.whmap.com
The best things about printing is
you, the customer: You are
interesting and creative people
with great ideas. It is always
exciting help you meet your goals!
