DIGITAL bytes

HANOVER, MA—Based on its recent findings, research and consulting firm I.T. Strategies is projecting the impact of ink-jet technology on general commercial printing to be minimal over the next five years. Within that time frame, ink-jet printing is not expected to match the speed, quality and cost of offset lithography. However, it says ink-jet technology does have the potential of being the foundation for a high-speed, high-quality press, but that won't happen in the next five years.
