Jean-François Lyet on How Hachette Livre Is Capitalizing on Digital Book Printing
Jean-François Lyet, Technical Director, Hachette Livre
In March, I attended the Ricoh Publishing Executive Symposium to learn about digital book printing and its evolving role within the book industry. The event gathered a number of book manufacturers and publishers in order to discuss the latest innovations in digital printing technology and how those innovations are reshaping the business.
According to printing consultant Sean Smyth, who spoke at the Symposium, inkjet and print-on-demand are reshaping how we distribute books and driving greater profits for the entire book supply chain.
During the Symposium, I spoke with a number of book publishing leaders in attendance about the challenges and opportunities of digital print. One of the executives I spoke with was Jean-François Lyet, technical director at Hachette Livre in Paris.
