According to the U.S. printing market research and information agency PRIMIR released data show that until 2014 , the global printing industry output value will reach $ 725 billion , more than previously expected , breaking the $ 720 billion mark in 2011 , a full three-year delay . Over the past decade , digital printing technology and related industries , riding the winds of technological innovation , rapid development in the world at an alarming rate into all sectors of the community, meet people print personalized, diversity , flexibility needs. To 2014 , the global market share of digital printing will be doubled , to 27.4% of the total market . 2008 total global inkjet printer market was only $ 1.9 billion , is expected in 2014 will jump to nearly $ 4.8 billion , with the rapid growth rate of 160% , almost on par with the sheetfed market .
Digital printing is digital printing technology . Refers to part or all of the entire process of digitization . For example: laser typesetting , remote transmission version , digital proofing, CTP , digital workflow , printing plant ERP belong to the scope of digital printing .
Digital printing is the computer files directly printed on paper , a new printing method is different from the traditional printing process is cumbersome . It features: one from India, no plate , instant , real-time error correction , variable printing , on-demand printing. Digital printing is a printing technique developed on the basis of an integrated technology to electronic text as a carrier , passed through the network to the digital printing equipment , direct printing. Print production workflow and information free version features variable is the largest , covering a variety of technical areas of print, electronic , computer, network , communications and so on.
1 Digital printing is digital information transmission , eliminating the need for film and printing plates in the mechanism edition.
2 digital print information to achieve 100% variable .
3 is the use of digital printing digital printing system will process digital information directly into print . Digital originals can be a good deal of digital prepress systems digital files can also be the source of the network , digital media.
4 digital printing can be anywhere , remotely print output , there is no time and space limitations .
5 worth of digital printing services produced in the customers, rather than the manufacturer inherent costs. The imaging mechanism , static imaging modalities into digital printing , inkjet imaging modalities , electro-coagulation imaging modalities , thermal transfer imaging modalities , such as magnetic imaging modalities . On the market in electrostatic imaging modality imaging modalities and inkjet digital presses for the mainstream .
Because without the traditional offset printing digital printing complicated process , just the computer that is sent to the printer out of the finished product , so urgent printing, variable printing, on-demand printing , traditional printing is unattainable . Therefore , the digital printing industry truly meet the changing needs of business printing fast printing , developing very fast , very big space for development .
For the development trend of digital printing , digital printing as offset printing, screen printing and flexo supplement , and compete ; networked laser printer will challenge copiers, copiers challenge digital printing , digital printing, offset printing challenges , and inkjet will will challenge all ; quality digital printing will no longer be a problem, but its production capacity, reliability, and size of the problem will remain to be resolved ; offset being improved to provide a more economical and competitive products , but the market will continue its digital printing has been eroded ; digital printing will affect all aspects of the printing industry , will be widely used in the artwork , packaging, label printing , textiles, books , advertising and other printed matter.
With the change in the public's consumption concept, the demand trend print diversification , bulk printing business from a small cost to pursue the direction of targeted small -volume, multi-species , such as the development of personalization . In China , labor costs are increasing , as opposed to traditional print , the less the need for manual labor costs in digital printing have a lot of savings. The forward part of the traditional printing business digital printing transfer. Network personalized printing after years of development , has been more mature, also contributed to the development of digital printing .
In China , at present, in the field of digital printing applications , in addition to graphic-print , on-demand publishing and printing, image printing, personalized direct mail printing , large enterprises stationed in services , the development of a new hot spot with four new opportunities.
