At in-plants across the country, the digital revolution is in full swing. More than ever, managers are realizing the benefits of being able to print variable data and digital color, and many find themselves teaching their customers just how valuable this technology can be.
According to IPG research, the number of in-plants using digital printing technology has risen to over 80 percent from around 60 percent in 1999, with 34 percent more work now printed digitally than four years ago.
To help you wade through the wealth of digital products launched over the past year, IPG has assembled a directory of the major vendors and their flagship products. The full directory appears in the printed edition of IPG. Below is just a sample of what we have compiled.
