Offset printing was dominant among the printing industry. However, it allows only single design production while requires equipment for post processing, making the overall cost relatively higher than other printing system. Offset printing has its limitation yet lacks flexibility due to its operation, digital printing has therefore become the trend within the industry. Furthermore, short-run printing is preferred nowadays, which could be largely helped by digital printing in terms of cost and stock control. In addition, variable data and secure print that inspired by the digital printing market added extra values and improved the security level of different types of printed matter, which creates infinite business opportunities for enterprises in the printing industry. Corporations can utilize digital printing on extraordinary designs and customization as well, so as to elevate the market competitiveness of printing and publishing customers.
