Thriving in the “and” era of print
May 28, 2024
With digital presses getting faster and better, digital print is growing rapidly and has reached the tipping point of broader adoption.
However, the buzz about digital cannot obscure the fact that traditional print is still dominant today and will be around for many years to come. In fact, digital printing still accounts for less than 5% of the total number of pages printed globally . Printers around the world have invested billions of dollars in offset presses and other analog printing technologies that they intend to use until the end of their depreciation period, and in most cases long beyond. And, investments continue to be made in offset technology, especially in highly automated sheetfed presses.
For smart printers, it is not a question of either/or. Rather, they understand that they need both traditional and digital production capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the market and achieve continued success. They understand that we are living in the “and” era of print.
