Production Inkjet Printing: Ready for Prime-Time for Commercial, Package Printers?

The beauty of production inkjet in comparison to its toner-based digital printing cousin is that it operates at much higher speeds, notes Pesko. The upshot of this, though, is the resulting printed output in need of finishing. Setting up in-line or near-line tools—cutters, folders, stitchers, etc.—in a configuration that keeps operator intervention to a minimum, can enhance productivity and, thus, shorten turnaround time and yield the lowest operating costs, especially when compared to traditional offset printing.
