Printing Industry: observations

● Total printing industry: 600 Bn $● declining ‐/‐ 5% per year● but .. still only 5‐10% is digital !

● Traditional analog printing challenged by digital printing● Electrophotography● Inkjet

● Transformation: ‘printing of things’● Technology leverage from graphical 

printing● Paradigm shifts in manufacturing

Inkjet technology advancements over 25 yrs…

● Print quality

● low quality  surpassing offset / flexo …

● Speed

● approaching speeds of offset

● page wide inkjet printhead arrays

● Reliability

● potentially very high

● Substrate range

● depending on technology (ink)

● wide range of substrates

Everything at once … is the challenge !

Quality  + Speed  +  Reliability  +  Wide substrate range

(+ reasonable cost …)

● Global race● Not if.. but when?

Graphical  Industrial Printing

● Printing on paper  printing on ‘everything’● Still graphical information (text & images)

I d t i l hi h li bilit !

The future of Print: towards Digital Fabrication

● Industrial process  high reliability!

Industrial Printing Manufacturing

● Jetting of ‘inks’  Jetting of ‘anything’● Functional inks: materials, patterns, structures● Coatings, displays, solar cells, printed circuit boards, 

biosensors, human tissue …

Benefits of Digital

● Digital design  End‐product ● Benefits: short runs, on‐demand, zero‐waste, no 

stock, decentralised, fast turnaround, distribute & print (instead of print & distribute), clean & green, ease of use
