Inkjet Myths Exposed
Inkjet has been a part of the printing world for more than a few decades, but some people perceive it as not only new, but risky. The naysayers will tell you that inkjet is not up to the color and image quality demands of the brand owners and agencies that control the commercial printing world.
It just isn't true! From the early days of low-resolution line printing through the many evolutions that brought us inkjet imprinting technologies and, finally, the full-color production workhorses of today, inkjet is a highly developed and reliable technology. But somewhere along the way, strong mythology developed that tries to pigeon-hole high-speed production inkjet. Believe the myths and you may miss an opportunity.
