MAN Execs Assess State of Industry

In Lapinski’s view, package printing holds opportunities for commercial printers and printing on plastics is a growth market. He also sees opportunities for printers in the capability overlap between long perfecter sheetfed and 16-page web presses, adding that MAN Roland offers both solutions.

For today’s market, in-line capabilities are an important trend in sheetfed printing technology, Lapinski added. This includes systems for quality control and finishing.
