The Changing Role of the Designer in Inkjet Label & Packaging Production
10:00 – 10:40
Aviation A
Summary: Packaging serves multiple functions: a physical touchpoint in the purchase decision path, a branded marketing platform, an on-ramp for production information and support. The production workflow is very complex, requiring a large number of iterations before the job is printed, and intense collaboration among stakeholders throughout. Inkjet printing is helping to shift the business and technology landscapes toward Just-in-Time manufacturing. The stakes couldn’t be higher. At the center of all this activity and change is the designer. This session will explore the challenges and opportunities they face, and the implications for Print Service Providers moving into digital package printing.
