Five Key Benefits of Inkjet Printing

Inkjet printing introduces endless opportunities for innovation, creativity and customization. Colordyne’s blog: Five Key Benefits of Inkjet Printing, explores the advantages inkjet technology brings to print production. Inkjet printing can not only improve current applications but can also play a key role in developing new ones. The impact this technology has had on the printing industry is undeniable. With inkjet printing, the opportunities for innovation, creativity and customization are endless. As markets and consumers continue to evolve at a fast pace, more label converters and brand owners are realizing inkjet printing is the best option to keep up with modern trends like rapid availability and personalization. Below we explore five key benefits this technology brings to print production. #5 Versatility Digital inkjet printing offers greater potential and flexibility. Inkjet printers can be engineered to handle a wide range of substrates, like label stocks, corrugated boxes, commercial paper stocks, among others, to fit unique application needs. They can also be designed to fit a variety of markets including label converting, commercial print, flexible packaging and more. This means that inkjet technology can serve the production needs of more print providers and brand owners than ever before. #4 Quality Inkjet printing produces extremely fine droplets of ink. This allows users to create printed products with resolution up to 1600 dpi, which can achieve sharper and smoother design details. In addition to high resolution, aqueous pigment inkjet and UV inkjet also offer print durability, like water fastness and rub resistance. These features improve the overall quality of the final printed product. #3 Efficiency Inkjet printing can help converters and print providers reduce setup and changeover times. In contrast with conventional printing techniques, inkjet is a non-impact printing technology. This means that it does not require a master or a plate to carry the design or deliver the ink onto the substrate. This process reduces press downtime between jobs and during setup generating greater productivity. #2 Affordability Inkjet technology can look like a large investment at first glance, but closely evaluating its advantages tell a different story. Users can experience a positive impact on daily operations and see a quick ROI when using inkjet print technology in their production. Faster speeds, higher productivity and more market opportunities are just a few of the considerations that make inkjet printing cost-effective. This is the ideal technology for modern print production where personalization, customization, quick turnarounds and speed are key factors for success. Printing high-mix low-volume and short-runs jobs is more affordable with a digital inkjet printer.

  PRESS RELEASE  HYBRID SOFTWARE GROUP ACQUIRES COLORLOGIC GMBH  Cambridge (UK), 28 October 2021 (17:45 CEST): Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) (the “Company”) announces today that on 27 October 2021 it acquired the entire issued share capital of ColorLogic GmbH (“ColorLogic”), a company with its registered office in Rheine, Germany.

Hybrid Software Group CEO Mike Rottenborn comments, “Our Harlequin RIP is the market leader in speed and quality for digital printing and is used by many industry-leading OEMs.  But its color management has historically been built around the 4-color CMYK process.  As the production of labels and packaging shifts to digital printing, more capable 7-color printing devices are required to provide color-accurate matching of brand colors.  ColorLogic has long been respected as an industry leader in extended gamut color management, and their tools provide the perfect combination of speed and quality for these demanding applications.  ColorLogic will become the fifth operating company in Hybrid Software Group, joining Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, Meteor Inkjet, and Xitron, and its products and technology will enhance the offerings of all of these companies.” Barbara Braun-Metz, ColorLogic’s Founder and CEO, adds, “I founded ColorLogic almost 20 years ago and together with the help of my great team we are proud to say that we are the leading developers of high-end color management technologies.

Supply chain problems hits UK factories

fuel crisis enters second week Motorists could face another week of long queues at the filling stations as demand for petrol remains strong, a Government minister has suggested. Policing minister Kit Malthouse told the Today Programme that the “return to normality” could take a “week or so”. Malthouse said:“We are still seeing strong demand in parts of the country around fuel. The distribution mechanism is trying to respond to this unprecedented demand. “I think if things started to deteriorate further, obviously the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Energy, whose responsibility this is, will have to review the situation.” One option is to deploy the army drivers who are on standby, and have been receiving specialist training to learn how to drive fuel tankers.
