Don't Forget: Workflow. The impact of mobile technology is very clear here; you're detaching operators from having to stand next to the machine, so their user interface becomes their mobile device. That's interesting. Everything around workflow automation is central to the success of any kind of print service provider. When I think of what digital printing brings to the table, a lot of it is being able to have one operator perform multiple functions, to have as many tasks automated as doable and to come as close as possible to lights-out (production). Those are themes that have applied previously to transactional printing types of environments, but they've now expanded to commercial printing environments.
