You could put in place a low-cost strategy. Or perhaps focus on a specific niche print market. You could try specializing in enhanced print finishing such as foil, embossing Crystals, holograms and more. Of course, traditionally, enhanced print has been an offline secondary embellishment processes. As a printer how do you make the decision on which direction to go\u2014and what equipment do you choose to help make it happen?<\/p>\n<p>As a print shop owner or manager, you might also be looking for some analysis of the print market to support the decisions you make for the future. As providers in the digital enhancement printing press market, Scodix tries to guide our customers toward single inline digital presses that can handle most of the above standout print finishing wants. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, we have written recently on how you can make your print sing with bling and how shops can standout with print finishing. But what data do we have to support that this will impact your business positively? Let\u2019s take a look at a recent print study and an article from one of our Scodix customers. <\/p>\n<p>A recent Keypoint Intelligence (formerly known as InfoTrends) print study, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infotrends.com\/public\/Content\/Multiclients\/BeyondCMYK.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Beyond CMYK: The Use of Special Effects in Digital Printing<\/a>, researched the sized of the digital print enhancement market. The current market is estimated to be valued at about $917 million. That value is expected to raise at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14%, which makes the value of the market in 2020 an estimated $1.3 billion. Double-digit growth rates are an opportunity to grow that you won\u2019t want to ignore. <\/p>\n<p>In this study they also interviewed print buyers about what they look at to differentiate their printed pieces and grab attention. They identified print enhancement as the special printing effects that they would leverage to make their offerings stand out. What exactly qualifies as print enhancement? White ink, spot colors, fluorescents, and spot\/flood coating. You could also extend that to capabilities to add foil, glitter, holograms and more inline with a digital print enhancement press. <\/p>\n<p>Keypoint Intelligence states that less than 10% of digital print volumes use a fifth color station. Conversely, 47% of print buyers believe that their printed materials, such as brochures, business cards, direct mail, greeting cards and invitations, could benefit spot or flood coating. The study also found this about the value associated print enhancement: <\/p>\n<p><em>Special effects printing can be a profitable endeavor. According to InfoTrends\u2019 research, print buyers will pay premiums in the range of 24% to 89% for digital print enhancements over CMYK-only work.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>These findings align with the experiences that we have had with our customers in placing digital enhancement printing press such as the Scodix Ultra Pro Digital Enhancement Press.
