High-Potential Digital Press

For customers considering updating their colour on-demand machines to
realise even higher levels of service through both quality and speed to keep up with
dramatic increases in the volume of orders and heightened demand for quality.
The appearance of DTP has triggered the acceleration of data digitalisation.
Technologies such as on-demand printing and electronic publishing are steadily becoming a reality.
Rather than the needs for high-volume printing of standardised information, the demand for on-demand printing capable of
printing small quantity print jobs or variable data as needed, has grown dramatically.
In addition, the rapid spread of tablet PCs has spurred the unrelenting transition from paper to electronic media.
From paper to electronic media, and electronic media to paper.
The fusion of paper and electronic media has further increased the need for on-demand printing.
bizhub PRESS C1100/C1085 has stepped into the spotlight with its high productivity on-demand printing capabilities.
