Inkjet Summit Reaches Peak in Debut

Another frequent refrain at the sessions was the message that the quality of today's inkjet equipment may not yet match offset, but there are plenty of applications where it is more than good enough, and the technology will continue to develop. Discussions on cost of operation of inkjet seemed to all come back to the idea that it was hard to get a handle on costs, which will differ for each user, depending on factors like ink coverage and type of paper used. Another key takeaway was to also pay strong consideration to workflow and postpress production when installing an inkjet device, and not just on the digital engine itself.
