Workflow Bottlenecks: The Need for Automated Finishing
Our Price: $995.00

Despite the advancements in production workflow automation, finishing operations have been left relatively alone. Many attempts towards developing solutions that assist in finishing workflow automation today have been targeted towards automating the early stages of production-specifically for job submission, automatic billing and ticketing, and preparing jobs for production. For post press procedures, due to its complexities and analog nature of many finishing processes, there have been little development to support the creation of automated finishing workflows.
Print service providers (PSPs) are continuously investing in solutions that will improve their production workflows to help with cost savings, offer more services to customers, and reduce the amount of outsourcing needed because of staffing and workflow constraints. Nevertheless, there is still a need for a complete end-to-end solution that assists in automating the post production processes-especially for jobs that require complex finishing techniques to be applied. This analysis will cover the demand for software vendors to develop solutions that will assist in automating the finishing procedures of print production workflows.

The Personalization Imperative: Building the Next Generation of Personalized Customer Experience
Our Price: $199.00

Marketers and advertisers have been working to achieve some level of personalization for the better part of two decades to support specific business objectives. While there has been a strong desire to deliver more relevant experiences to target audiences, only in the past few years has technology caught up to help lower the barriers to achieving personalization. Big data is playing an important role in helping companies enable more effective applications, especially when it comes to delivering more relevant and valuable customer experiences.

The convergence of these market forces and others are driving growing investment in and the use of personalization. As more companies are empowered with personalization, they need to consider consumers' attitudes toward it, especially regarding the collection and use of data that enables increasingly-sophisticated applications. While consumers benefit from these applications, they desire more control. Marketers, advertisers, technology providers, agencies, and other services firms should take these attitudes into consideration when developing the next generation of these applications.

Food-related Inks and Toners: An Analysis
Our Price: $199.00

In food, beverage, and other industries, brand owners are sensitive to the risk of toxic contamination in their products from packaging materials of all types. Packaging substrates, such as paper board, plastic, and laminates, are one side of the brand owners' concern. Meanwhile, inks are a separate but related concern due to the fact that inks start out as liquids with many chemical components and that they interact with the packaging media.

Inks and toners for color digital label and packaging presses get brand owners' scrutiny just as conventional inks do. For vendors of electrophotographic (EP) and inkjet presses for labels and packaging, the acceptability of their marking materials for use with foods and other consumables is a big issue because those types of products account for 40% or more of the potential market for digital printing. This report is about inks and toners for food related use, and related issues that digital press vendors should keep in mind.
