Today’s production print environment has seen a kind of war between production inkjet and offset, as users of the latter have long been encouraged to switch to the former. But is offset and inkjet an either/or proposition? Can the two processes work together?

Installing inkjet systems inline on offset press equipment is not a new technique, but it still stands out as the opportunity to meld digital non-impact printing with analog impact printing in a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Offset shops looking for opportunities in inkjet can get a good look at the promise it holds by hybridizing their existing presses with the digital process. It’s a step up in function that demonstrates how inkjet can add value in offset shops that have not yet committed to investing in full-scale production inkjet equipment.

Join us for WhatTheyThink’s LunchNLearn webinar “Offset and Inkjet: A Marriage Made in Heaven or Strange Bedfellows?,” to be held Wednesday, February 12, at 1 pm ET, when we will look at these options. This discussion, moderated by WhatTheyThink’s Offset section editor Patrick Henry, will take a look at the options available to offset shops. Panelists have yet to be determined, but will comprise representatives from inkjet and offset equipment vendors.  

In this session, sponsored by Canon, you’ll learn:

  • What are the equipment options for combining inkjet with offset?
  • What are the advantages and benefits of offset/inkjet hybrid workflows?
  • What are the top applications for offset/inkjet implementations?
  • What should potential implementers look for at upcoming trade events, such as Hunkeler Innovationdays ?
