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.

From Idea All digital print projects start somewhere
To RealityDigital can easily bring your idea to life
September 2011 | The Digital Rationale
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.
