Abstract
The trends and viewpoints of new technology in digital printing at drupa 2016 are explained, which gave one the feeling that the wave of digitization is finally going into full swing. The fusing of digital printing with the offset press manufacturer is now becoming apparent. The evolution of digital post processing with 3D computer aided programming is remarkable. A novel design combined with a high quality development process, which was impossible before, can now be realized in the digital world. This increases the hope that it will be possible to provide more value in the future. Moreover, digital printing is being extensively applied in the fields of commercial and label printing, and in corrugated cardboard printing and flexible packaging as well. Once SCREEN and BHS integrate an inkjet head into the corrugator machine, mass production and small lot multi-type design production of corrugated boards on the same machine will become possible. This shows the shift from mass production to mass customization. Thus, the evolution of print still continues.
