COMMERCIAL PRINT

Benefits of using digital- No printing plates required and minimal setup time
makes economical production of short runs possible- Reduction of transportation and inventory costs

Sheet-fed and roll-fed inkjet printers are available indifferent price ranges with productivity and automation
being the major cost differentiators. Unlike analog
technology, where the same static pages are printed
and the costs go down with volume, digital printing
allows for “print what you need, when you need it,
where you need it” whether in customized versions
or personalized 1:1 documents.

- Reduction of spoilage/waste associated with multiple
print/imprint steps and product obsolescence- Faster time to market with fewer steps
Advantages of using Memjet technology- Flexible solutions using Memjet modular approach- High resolution for fine detail and color critical jobs
- Fast print speeds and high throughput- Environmentally friendly, durable aqueous inks

How is Memjet technology being used today- Transactional and transpromotional- Direct mail- PublishingPACKAGING
The traditional function of packaging was to protect the product during
shipment and on the store shelf. Marketing uses packaging to elevate
brand awareness and create an emotional connection with the customer.
Micro segmentation, promotions and marketing campaigns are driving
the need for shorter run lengths and the growth of digital printing.

Benefits of using digital- Print quality that rivals offset on coated as well as uncoated substrates- Reduction of finished goods inventory costs and waste with more
on-demand printing- Reduction of setup time and downtime resulting in short turnaroundtimes and faster time to market- Fast, easy and economical implementation of promotions andmarketing campaigns
Advantages of using Memjet technology- Flexible solutions using Memjet modular approach- High resolution for fine detail and color critical jobs
- Fast print speeds and high throughput
DuraLink Printhead- Environmentally friendly, durable aqueousTheinks
How is Memjet technology being used today- Corrugated board for primary and secondary packaging- Folding carton- Flexible packaging

LABELS
Labels are used in a variety of different ways. They are generally printed on paperor film-based substrates and affixed to a container or product. Labels are used forbranding as well as to provide nutritional or other information on the product.
Label printing has been transitioning from analog to digital for a number of years.
Inkjet label printers are available as roll-fed benchtop printers for small volumes up
to higher-volume label presses with integrated finishing equipment.

Benefits of using digital- No printing plates required. Economical production of short runs.
- Can be integrated with analog printing to create hybrid personalization- Minimal make-ready required resulting in short turnaround times and fastertime to market
Advantages of using Memjet technology- Wide availability of narrow-web and wide-web printing solutions- High resolution for fine detail and color critical jobs
- Fast print speeds and high throughput- Environmentally friendly, durable aqueous inks
How is Memjet technology being used today- Product labels- Hazard labels

WIDE FORMAT
From fine line drawings to heavy ink coverage banners, posters andtradeshow graphics. Today, inkjet printing covers a very large range
of applications on many different substrates with stunning image quality.
Single pass inkjet printing has just recently started to disrupt some of
the wide format applications by enabling highly productive inkjet printersthat can replace multiple wide format printers using the traditionalscanning printhead technology.

Benefits of using digital- High image quality- Faster turnaround times and efficient end to end digital workflows- High productivity with single pass technology
Advantages of using Memjet technology- Modularity enables design pf products with small footprint- Easy and rapid integration with availability of Memjet designed
print engines and modules- Single-pass printing for high productivity applications- Environmentally-friendly aqueous inks

MAILING AND ADDRESSING
The envelope was once an afterthought. Marketers andprinters spent significant time on the content that would
go into the envelope but often overlooked the opportunity
for content on the outside of the envelope. Digital printing
technology is changing all of that. Today, envelopes are doing
more than just holding the message. They are the message.

Benefits of using digital- Variable data capabilities for personalization, higher open
rates, and greater customer engagement- Reduced inventory costs through on-demand printing- High-quality images on envelopes
Advantages of using Memjet technology- Flexible solutions for any volume thanks to Memjet’s
modular approach- High print speeds for high productivity applications- Environmentally-friendly, durable aqueous inks
How is Memjet technology being used today- Envelope printing including padded envelopes

Three Modular Solutions 8OFFICE AND DOCUMENT
Financial institutions, universities, law offices, government
agencies and more, all have the need for printing highvolumes of documents. Single pass inkjet printers provide
the productivity, quality and cost effectiveness for printing
large volumes on demand and inhouse.
Benefits of using digital- Simple, fully digital workflow- No need for pre-printed forms. Print all content in one pass.
- Fast turnaround times
Advantages of using Memjet technology- Modularity allows the design of printers with a small footprint- Easy and rapid integration with availability of Memjet
designed print engines and modules- Single-pass inkjet provides high print speeds- Environmentally friendly aqueous inks
How is Memjet technology being used today- Flyers- Business forms- Direct mail- Letterheads
