Andreas Tietz Editor Der Druckspiegel / PrintMirror |
Dear reader,
that a digital press was awarded an innovation prize should not really surprise you - but in the still quite tradition-oriented printing industry, the news is worth at least a raised eyebrow. This is actually also a sign that digital printing is gradually becoming mainstream. The same applies to InfoTrends Western European Digital Production Printing Application Forecast, which sees a clear shift away from traditional applications in digital production printing. The industry is renewing itself - this idea permeates the stream of news in recent days. Read them in our latest newsletter! Sincerely, PS: The next English issue of PrintMirror (Druckspiegel) will appear on February 10th. The advertising deadline is on January 6th and the issue will be distributed at China Print and Printtek, Fespa and Print! Contact us now: jpf@druckspiegel.de |
