Continuous-feed Inkjet: The Web Paper Challenge
Business Transformations
HP leads the field in pigment-based inkjet, with more than 80 HP inkjet digital web presses (T200, T300, T350 and T400) installed worldwide since 2008. John Meiling, director of large-format printing materials, advises that the initial focus was publishing and direct mail, and that general commercial printing will come next. According to Meiling, "the majority of installs are with offset printers that are looking to augment current printing capacity with digital capability and trying to transform their business."
