Den ökande betydelsen av bläckstråleskrivare av Christine Cora

Continuous-feed inkjet digital printing offers blessings versus standard

offset, and conjointly versus electric photographic or toner-based systems.

And, because the technology continues to evolve, inkjet paper gaining

share from each offset and electric photography.

The presses are sensible. The substrates are sensible. The software package

is nice. And, as Cathy Cartolano, VP of sales and technical services at

Mitsubishi Imaging (MPM), says, image quality is "scary close" to offset.

thus why does not continuous-feed inkjet dominate the market?

Challenges embrace education, work flow, sales and finishing, similarly

because the limitations of the technology itself—and some have aforesaid

that each one of those challenges is being met. The technology continues

to evolve with enhancements to paper and ink, and conjointly to advance

mento software package, similarly on the presses themselves.

While a lot of of the discussion is targeted on image quality and also the

technology, it's vital to notice that digital print may be a terribly totally

different sale than standard print. the worth proposition of digital involves

a complete system answer around higher targeting, higher supply and fewer

waste, which ends in an exceedingly higher come back on the customers'

investment instead of a lower per cost. Also, the choice on inkjet versus

toner depends on image quality needed, substrate, ink coverage and run

length. the correct answer depends on the particular application, and inkjet

is gaining ground.

Image quality might not be the problem the maximum amount as political

economy. As Dave Bell, Mitsubishi director of digital paper sales, points

out: "The highest style of printing within the world for museums and

photography is inkjet. The question isn't once can inkjet quality be capable

offset,however once can production inkjet quality be capable offset."

The promise of continuous-feed inkjet is quality near offset with short and

variable knowledgecapability, and quality near or capable electric

photography with bigger productivity and lower value.
