There are many types of printers serving a multitude of markets, some are converging but all are extending into further stages of automation to speed up efficiency and handle altered buying preferences.

As an exclusive member benefit, the Club FESPA Online articles are commissioned and focused around four themes including How To Guides, Business Advice, People In Print and Tomorrow’s World.
The How To Guides cover technical and process related material and aim to demystify complex topics and understand where the latest technological advancements can improve their businesses. For example, how to achieve perfect colour management on multiple substrates or how to count your carbon emissions, these are amongst a broad selection of topics.
The Business Advice articles offer insight on how to run a successful SME print business dealing with the many challenges from sustainability, software automation and cost reduction. For example, why automation software makes sense and confronting the COVID-19 crisis.
People In Print focuses on industry leaders and their shared experience across speciality print. These professionals discuss their successes and the challenges they face. For example, strawberry-scented graphics on the London Underground and an interview with Michel Caza, founding father and former President of FESPA.
Finally, Tomorrow’s World shows us what lies ahead and what we can expect in the future, whether its sustainability, the IoT or the latest print technologies. It provides a sense of what may become important in the next decade. For example, how will COVID-19 affect the industry’s future? and textiles and sustainability.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?

Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
