Advanced Software Adoption Accelerates for Printers and Converters
Printers and converters continue to add advanced software for prepress functions while also evaluating new platforms to optimize quality control during print runs and reduce overall ink consumption.
Advanced software and integrated digital prepress platforms are helping printers optimize operations by automating processes, reducing ink consumption, enhancing inline print inspection and assimilate new technology applications, such as digital watermarking, into current workflows.
The idea of adding large automation solutions 20 years ago produced waves of anxiety for purchasing managers due to price, commitment and return-on-investment (ROI) unknowns. In today’s world, advanced software solutions for the printing and converting industry are still a sizable commitment, but upfront costs are lower and ROI is easier to understand due to data analytics.
