How Digital Are YOU?

The Wide Side

Another aspect of digital printing in packaging environments is wide format which may be used in conjunction with packaging for proofing, as well as related signage and point of purchase displays. Wide format product lines such as Epson Stylus, HP DesignJet, and Roland VersaUV, and others are common in converting, especially for proofing. Monochrome thermal barcode label printers are also common (26 percent) as are tabletop color label printers (23 percent). While such devices once were mainly used by manufacturers, retailers and smaller converters, the fastest models are now often placed with small label converters and print service providers such as commercial printers and others that engage in label printing as a side business.
