Seeing the Full Potential of Print Possibilities

London, UK | 27 June 2022

Despite the ubiquitous use of digital content, consumers still prize the highly tactile and creative nature of attractive and well-designed print products as part of multiple cross-media channels. To meet expectations, the print industry is evolving extremely quickly as a demand for creativity, differentiation, sustainability, and efficiency continues to grow.


By utilising the latest technologies and print production processes, print businesses have the perfect opportunity to deliver solutions that are more personalised/customised, interactive, and create more impressive, immersive, and engaging experiences than ever before. With the world looking to progress, the possibilities for print businesses to grasp the commercial opportunities in the market are limitless and this is creating a more competitive market than ever before.
 

Seizing the Professional Print opportunities
At Konica Minolta we are passionate about Professional Print and have launched a new campaign to inspire the industry and help them to ‘See the Potential’. The print industry has entered a new era, one where the changing needs of customers means helping them to understand the fresh opportunities in a fast-changing world. Our mission is to promote the considerable benefits of digital transformation within the evolving commercial print, industrial and packaging markets.

The print industry is perfectly placed to bring stories and experiences to life through colourful, creative designs and detailed textures (embellishments and finishes) – something which most definitely separates print from digital content on a screen. This is something we need to do together to succeed, with print manufacturers, print providers, print customers, and the community all in unison on the creative and environmental benefits for the future.
