Benefits Of Digital And Hybrid Printing
The “hybrid label printing system” was a hot topic at the recent Labelexpo Europe. Almost every traditional manufacturer offered or announced a digital module combination on or on their own traditional platforms. In addition, well-known digital system providers. Near-line finishing solutions, as well as the transformation of more traditional materials.
In a sense, hybrid printing is a single-pass process that combines numerous printing techniques and converting procedures. It attempts to combine the capabilities of traditional and digital printing technologies, such as flexo printing’s reliability, efficiency, and in-line features with digital printing’s creative potential.
Because you may combine multiple printing techniques and make use of their benefits, hybrid printing allows you to service a bigger market group. Variable data printing is not possible in flexo, and cold foil printing is not possible in digital. You can accomplish both using hybrid printing. Hybrid presses bring together a variety of innovative capabilities that allow you to personalise print runs and fulfil customer requests. What’s the benefit?
You may provide your consumers with a wide selection of applications and options. Because of the requirement for fast turnaround times, it’s critical to keep your printing process as short as feasible. A major advantage of hybrid printing is that it allows for more work to be completed in a shorter amount of time.
The majority of tasks in the printing process are automated, including printing, labelling, finishing, coating, and cutting. Hybrid presses can also process more tasks in less time. You’ll be able to print a greater number of short print runs while also lowering production costs on larger runs. Imagine how much easier it is to schedule projects when you just need one press to print an end product.
In addition, hybrid printing takes less prepress time before a project can be printed. When you’re only allowed to use one printing process, you’ll have to make additional adjustments in the prepress step to achieve the desired quality. You can choose how you want to conduct the project based on quality and cost when printing processes can be combined. This simplifies the procedure.
