Commercial Print & Publication Services

Over the past few years publishing and printing has gone through a high degree of change. Cost pressures, a short supply of materials, declining volumes shorter lead times for print orders and staff shortages are everyday challenges facing commercial printers and publishers. They are also among the important reasons why highly automated, high quality printing is the growth driver for digital production and publishing. Whatever type of journal, publication or research document is produced a quality printed process is crucial for a high degree of success. Research underpins this. Customers know they need to rethink commercial print, offer high quality printing services and content to create new growth opportunities. So what will work in the future, what will be the process, how will it be provided and what is on offer in terms of printing services and publishing?

Research published reveals that within 10 years digital print will be worth $230.5 billion. That is a little shy of 3.0 trillion A4 prints, a 68.6% increase on the 2022 market, according to a Smithers “The Future of Digital Printing to 2032” report. The research also shows that inkjet is set to account for the lion’s share of growth in value and volumes, and toner also still has an important place in the digital space.

Increased automation creates more free time for operators – and perhaps the chance to learn new skills, possibly doing more in pre-production. And that is good news for business owners needing print solutions, many of whom face a wide range of challenges, including continuing staff shortages.
