Concern: Emerging Technologies Affecting Cold Foil For Offset Commercial Printing

Concern: Emerging technologies affecting Cold Foil For Offset commercial printing

The latest research on emerging printing technologies and applications, conducted by Pivotal Resources, describes the applicability of emerging technologies such as security printing, printed electronics, 3D printing and nanotechnology to commercial printing and related vendors.

Security printing: This particular field has changed dramatically in recent years.

Printed electronics: This market is expected to reach about $20 billion in the next 10 years.

3D printing: Due to the limitations of production speed and cost, 3D printing will remain the domain of amateurs. For many commercial printers, it represents not the use of traditional printing technology, but more products available to users.

Nanotechnology: This emerging technology has created a multi-billion dollar market in the materials manufacturing industry. Nanometer materials are characterized by high tensile strength, low weight, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and unique electronic properties.

According to the study, emerging technologies are a new way to make money for printing companies and others in the graphic and video industry. Companies should actively seek more knowledge about technology.
