The key factors driving developments in all of these print processes are centered around reducing production costs through faster press set-up, and increased use of computer-controlled automation at all stages of the process, from taking the initial order to despatch to the customer when completed. With inkjet taking the largest share of the printed area within the signage industry, this process is the focus of the majority of development activity, particularly for wide-format presses.
  • Web-to-print platforms for inkjet: Web-to-print platforms are changing the way that printers take and process orders, for inkjet enabling customers to place orders via the Internet that will flow directly to production and on to the despatch department on completion. The process is ideally aligned with digital print processes that print from a computer-generated image, saving time and costs for both the customer and the printer over the traditional process of initial briefings, artwork modification, and final approval.
