"Digital Printing in China 2008" Survey

Digital Printing has been developing over 10 years in China, and we have made "Digital Printing in China" Survey since five years. During this period, the pace of digital printing technology and application development has not slowed down. Last year at drupa2008, there are totally 64 exhibitors which showed digital printing press, among them 31 exhibitors showed color digital presses, which represents an indisputable fact that digital printing technology has become the wind vane of printing technology.

Compared with digital printing industry abroad, Chinese digital printing made a large investment on purchasing equipment, most digital printing suppliers’ flagship equipments are welcomed by enterprises. At the same time, as the equipment upgrading, enterprises never stop update the original equipments. In addition, some domestic traditional printing enterprises pay more and more attention to digital printing presses, from. 2007 to 2008, the pace of purchasing productive digital printing press for traditional printing enterprises is accelerating.

However, the development of digital printing production is not as fast as the development of equipment installation. There is an embarrassing situation appearing on the market, some enterprises which owned high-end digital printing presses suffer from the development of the industrial application of digital printing. How to guide the potential market demand to actual industrial applications is the most important thing those enterprises concern about..
At the same time, digital printing users are becoming more and more sophisticated. They adopt a prudent policy on investment of equipment, concerned about the sub-areas, more focus on widening the field of business, through various channels to enhance their own competitiveness.

2008 "Digital Printing in China" Survey includes two parts: digital printing press installations and capacity and digital print users investigate. Because we have done the ink-jet printing survey on the 6th issue on Digital Printing magazine in 2008, this time we just focus on non-inkjet  digital press.
