Combine and Conquer

Digital printing in combination applications is a much more recent concept for package printing, and it bears watching in the near future. One of the issues for digital printing in general is its speed, and this comes to the forefront in combination uses also.

Rosenbaum states: "Digital printing stations for combination presses certainly offer some interesting capabilities. However, the performance of digital units has been somewhat slow in developing and their production speeds have not increased as the production speeds of the presses have during the past several years."
