How to Transition Your Business to Inkjet — New Business-Oriented Inkjet Reference Book
Book printing using production inkjet technology is a fast-growing application. I.T. Strategies, a custom consulting firm for digital print vendors, predicts a 29% compound annual growth rate from 2014?–?2019 for inkjet book production. And for many good reasons.
The desire to balance the needs of printing sufficient quantities to meet sales requirements while minimizing the costs of overruns and excessive book returns is causing print runs to become shorter and shorter. The speed, flexibility, production quality, and cost efficiency of production inkjet technology make it an excellent platform for short-run book production. Plus, it offers the possibility of new revenue streams from reprints, backlists, out-of-print editions, and customized books.
If you are looking to reduce inventory, reduce wastage, and improve turnaround times in your book production, you may be investigating a potential transition to production inkjet technology. Or perhaps you are in the early stages of making that transition. Wouldn’t it be helpful if you could “pick the brains” of those who have already done so, get their advice on what to expect, and find out what lessons they learned as they made their transition, all with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight? Now you can.
thINK, an independent community of Canon Solutions America production print customers, in collaboration with Canon Solutions America, has recently published The Inkjet Edge?—?How to Transition Your Business to Inkjet, a comprehensive, robust resource for those considering or preparing a transition to production inkjet technology.
Based on extensive interviews with Canon Solutions America production print customers, solution partners, and print industry experts, this book captures the experience and knowledge of those who have already made the transition to inkjet. In one concise resource, you can benefit from the advice and lessons learned by book and commercial printers about such topics as the inkjet justification process, what you should know when transitioning from offset and from toner-based printers, media and ink considerations, finishing options, workflow integration requirements, inkjet’s impact on various departments in your organization, and the power of customization and personalization.
“One of the key objectives of thINK is to provide an educational forum that enables our members to share best practices and learn from each other, industry leaders, and solution partners,” said Victor Bohnert, Director of thINK. “This book captures the knowledge and insights of some of the most successful inkjet service providers in the country. We hope it will be an excellent resource for the print industry.”
