Technological Developments — More Changes Reshaping the Industry

Some printers have been able to calibrate color digital printing output to their offset litho output, enabling digital production presses to be used to generate proofs for offset. Starting in 2005, proofs produced on digital production equipment are included in the press proofing category. The net growth in this category is a result of the growth in production digital printing as an offset proofing method less the decline in litho press proofs and press checks.
