Tomorrow's outlook

While most of inkjet printing today is black and white, tomorrow may hold a more colorful future for the technology. Color inkjet printing is still in the early stages, Oliver said, but there are some systems currently being used in the market for limited production runs. "Full color digital inkjet printing will play a significant role in the future of packaging," he said. "The timeline is still unknown, but UV color inkjet is found in production today, and a number of large equipment and ink developers are investing significant resources in this technology, all with a vision of changing the world of package printing," he said.
