Among these advances, the flexibility, efficiency and economy of digital printing have made an impact on traditional printing. The confrontation between such emerging technologies and traditional technologies has always been a focus of attention, and we need to adapt to the trend and keep pace with the times in order to achieve our own transformation and breakthrough.

Pain points of traditional printing

  1. Rigid and inflexible production processes with high requirements for the environment and equipment
  2. Air pollution and water pollution accompany the production process
  3. Long production cycles, with labor and material costs continuously rising
