Impact of CTP and Digital Printing on Enterprises

The printing industry is divided into prepress, printing and postpress. With the development of new technologies and the continuous improvement of user requirements, the steps between prepress and printing are gradually reduced, and the boundaries are becoming more and more blurred. The two technologies of this kind of transformation are direct plate making and digital printing. Network data transmission, digital prepress and printing technologies have opened up a whole new market for printing.

Digital technology has played a significant role in the development of the printing industry. It has drastically shortened the printing cycle, reduced manual operations, improved product quality, and increased the degree of automation. These changes have driven printers to provide their customers with a full range of services with shorter cycle times and lower prices.

Invest in new technologies, opportunities and challenges coexist. Therefore, if you want to succeed, you must understand that the technology can meet the requirements of users and the market, and can maintain the competitiveness and get the maximum return. The time for making an investment also needs to be accurate. If you invest too early, you will find yourself struggling to open up new markets. If you invest too late, you will lose your competitiveness. If you have the right time, you will be able to take advantage of your advantage.

Once new technologies are invested, it is very important how to better play their functions. What needs to be done is to train relevant departments and personnel. In any case, this kind of training should be extended to all relevant departments because the digital workflow is inevitable. It will increase the integrity and dependence between departments.

In addition to employees in the production department, internal management and logistics departments should also understand how new technologies will affect their respective work. The company’s sales staff should clearly understand that new technologies will bring more benefits to customers and open up new markets. Since many customers are very familiar with the development of printing technology, the salesperson must be able to inform the customer very professionally how each technology is used.

Early deployment of new technologies requires careful deployment. Customers who understand this new technology and understand your company's situation can give some jobs to try it out and let the operators gradually gain experience in order to fully master the new technology.
