Digital Production Inkjet Printing Market Analysis

The increasing availability of cut-sheet and continuous-feed inkjet presses drives the growth of the digital production inkjet printing market. It provides businesses with more flexibility and choice in their printing needs. Also, the rise of sheet-fed digital production inkjet printing is leading to the development of the printing industry. Inkjet printing offers numerous advantages over conventional printing methods, such as faster turnaround times, lower costs, and the ability to print on a variety of materials. As the technology improves, inkjet printing will likely become even more popular during the forecast period.

Digital Production Inkjet Printing Market Industry Overview

Production inkjet presses are one-pass inkjet printers. These printers use fixed arrays of industrial-grade printheads that cover the entire width of the substrate. The demand for digital on-demand production is increasing. Inkjet printing is non-contact, meaning the print head does not touch the substrate surface. The dyes to be printed are in the form of inks rather than pastes, and their viscosity is low when compared to other printing processes. Digital printing provides various advantages, such as lower lifetime costs and cost-effective printing technology. Thus, the demand for digital production inkjet printing is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Increasing Demand for Short-run Printing

Short-run printing refers to printing small quantities of printed materials, typically less than 1,000 copies. Several factors are increasing the demand for short-run printing, including the growing popularity of e-commerce. E-commerce businesses often need to print small quantities of marketing materials, such as catalogs and flyers, to promote their products. Additionally, short-run digital printing is a quick way to print items with offset printing quality without the offset price. Short-run digital printing items are small batches of printed materials that must be turned around quickly. Short-run printing has more advantages, including quick turnaround, superior quality, simple, cost-effective one-time setup, and the ability to make changes on future batches. Also, inkjet printers are well-suited for short-run printing as they can print on various substrates and offer high print quality. Therefore, the increasing demand for short-run printing is likely to create opportunities for the digital production inkjet printing market players to promote growth in the coming years.
