Digital Printing Options

Ring: Overall, what we're seeing across all digital printing technologies is the expansion of that break-even point where it becomes more cost-effective to go with digital printing to achieve greater efficiency and savings for a certain job size. The major differences you will see in digital printing technologies are the types of substrates you can print on. We're seeing a determined effort in our industry space to constantly innovate to make our technology safer. As an example, we at Xeikon made an announcement this year that our dry toner is safe for indirect food contact under certain conditions, and direct contact with dry food containing no surface oil or fat. That is a big advantage for converters using our technology compared to UV-inkjet.
