On-demand printing

Your customer can now have the

exact amount of printed pieces, no

more “overs or unders.” More often

than not, you print 5% “overs” and

either throw them in your recycle bin,

or give them to the customer for free.

How many of your customers have

actually paid for “overs” on your

invoice?

Digital is easier to up-sell than offset

If you want to cross sell an offset job,

you have an entirely new press run.

With digital, you can output the same

job on a number of specialty

substrates and have a completely

different application.

Digital gets you off and running

Shorter Learning Curve

Digital presses commonly come packaged with a

hardware service plan from the manufacturer. This means

less time holding a wrench and more time for your

operator to be quality checking sellable jobs for your

customers.
