Eastman Kodak has projected that digital printing is approaching a critical tipping point, driven largely by the rapid advancement of continuous inkjet technology.
This shift marks a significant transformation in the global printing landscape, as businesses increasingly adopt high-speed digital solutions to meet evolving market demands.
Continuous inkjet systems are enabling printers to achieve greater efficiency, faster turnaround times, and improved cost-effectiveness, particularly in high-volume production environments. These capabilities are encouraging commercial and packaging printers to transition from conventional printing methods to more flexible and scalable digital processes.
The growing momentum of digital print also reflects broader industry trends such as customization, short-run production, and sustainability. As brands seek faster time-to-market and reduced waste, digital technologies are becoming a preferred choice across multiple segments, including packaging, labels, and industrial printing.
Kodak’s outlook highlights the increasing importance of research and development in advancing print technologies, positioning continuous inkjet as a key driver of innovation. As the industry moves closer to this tipping point, digital printing is expected to unlock new business opportunities and redefine production strategies worldwide.
