If you want to be rich on Digital Printing,

Topic is interesting that Everyone knows that being Rich with this digital printing market is almost impossible these days.
Because of competition and economical crysis creates incredible world.

I personally recommend that Digital Printing is niche and different market. If you make niche market and digital printing solution, I am sure you will be satisfied.

However If you make volume based production such as East of Europe or Latin America, then there is no real profit and benefit for companies.

Digital Printing on Graphic market is always high demanded ,however Digital printing on new niche markets are growing and we need to keep eye-on them.

If you want to visit any Exhibition,

If you are in Digital printing or Sign industry, you will known that we have plenty of open houses and exhibitions coming on next couple of weeks.

Most of us like to visit exhibitions. however we dont known what we aim and target.

We only hope to see New products ,new innovations, meet some supplier and get some special pricing.


Is that so ?

Why you dont aim to get more  from your visit?

Fespa Turkey

You may Target yourself below points :

• To visit all Printer resellers to see if there is any new product or campaign,
• To visit all Consumables suppliers to see if there is new pricings and products
• To listen market gossiping to understand the market trends,
• To talk min 12-15 Exhibitor daily.
• Even no interest, check all other exhibitors for future possible needs.

Without Target, it is just same to visit either Exhibitions or A Park.

If you want to change your Media Supplier,

MEDIA SUPPLIERS

Digital printing has Triangle solutions, Hardware supplier,Ink supplier,Media supplier.

Some Cases all 3 of them will be same ,and most of time Hardware and ink supplier is same but media suppliers are different.

If you are not satisfy your media supplier, due to consistent quality or pricing level, or payment terming, we advise you do following:

• Collect all other media suppliers informations
• If there is any show ,exhibition,visit and meet supplier face 2 face,
• Media suppliers have 2 groups. One is big suppliers with huge stock,big team and consistency on many years, and second one is mostly new trend small suppliers,which is more flexible on pricing and tems however product consistency and stock has serious problems.

In most of the time, best case is collect all suppliers, Brand name product suppliers of digital printing  medias.

We don't recommend anyone to limit Media supplier as 1-2 . Keep as much as possible which is geographically close to you to ship on time and fast.

If you want to buy Flag Printer,

Printing on Flag which is mostly polyester based textile, has versatile solutions of digital printing on market.

if you are looking for profitable digital printer.

i dont believe people  who may say , i never think  profit in my business but it comes.



On digital printing if signage,textile,POP stand business , you must evaluate below


questions answers before to reach right profit level.

1-Analyze your country digital printing market(which  side has big competition,low profit, which  one has low competition,low job printouts and highh demand?)

After 4  steps, you have alot of parameters on table.

Dont  copy  another business models to your company which usually  done. Every

country and every company has its own status.

If you fail to decide correct printer one time,Read this..

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!

Digital printing market is full of success and fail stories.

Most of companies would like to be first pioneer for newest machinery and technology may cause serious

losses on the market.

Examine very well!!!

If you fail in your investment of digital printing machinery before, here are some points for your next move:

1- If you new technology printer that nobody has it , Ask 30 days Demo in your site to see real production.

2-If Demo 30 days in your site is not valid, then Ask 7 days Production in printer supplier site and you will use printer. (Dont Trust Sales people words and promises)

3-If the printer has already install few people , get list of these customers, and call any day any of them and ask all details. If possible visit them.

4-Listen to rumouring of market... If you are not blind, you will see good or bad voices coming around..

I recommend not to jump in to the pool where there is no water....

Dont get me wrong, I am also sales person where I dont trust any of sales person till I test myself...

Decision yours...

If you want to buy Cheap Outdoor printer,

Time is rushed out with many problems, everyone seek around best possible solutions.


No one accepts to pay high for anything.


We also look for cheap outdoor printer , however we dont known which we should choose.


If we go Roland,Mimaki,Mutoh, quality high ,service nice but cost is also high...


If we go any Chinese printer, Faster than Japanese ,quality is acceptable in some places however service and 


support is headache.


There should be some solution on market where Cheap and acceptable quality where market seek around.


I believe  this place gonna fill out with 2 companies:


1-Mimaki coming out more powerful on market with new printers....


2-New family based printer manufacturers, like Eurotechprinters,MS.... also has interesting solutions.




Waiting for new Pioneers....

If you think to invest Eco-Solvent printer,

                              BEFORE INVEST ECO-SOLVENT PRINTER,READ THIS !

After the economical crysis reached top level at 2008, All Digital printing market approaches changed.
Today almost 5 years passed away, Still all we are struggling  financials and also price pressure on the market.
However, The demand of Digital Printing on Signage due to printer segmentation is looks like this all over the World.

Printing Segments	Ratio
Solvent Printing	37%
Eco-Solvent Printing	20%
Latex Printing	25%
Water-Based Printing	3%
Textile Soft-Signage Printing	15%

* As reference of 5 different Sign Magazine information,we collected this date. Data has variations upto more less %10 .But picture almost same.

Therefore it seems Solvent Printintg itself Declining compare to last 5 years ago which was aroun 50% however declining of Solvent printing still not fast as expected due to economical issues.

However  the List shows that Eco-Solvent(or Low Solvent) printing increased %50 percent and Latex printing with the push of HP increased from %200 percent on the market.

I will recommend below Eco -Solvent Printer on this blog,

1-Roland Eco-Solvent printer:  Leading printer manufacture from Japan, specially force market with Print and Cut printers so many years. Roland still leading company on eco-solvent printers however the speed of printers are slower than competitor, and Chinese Epson head printer will be real competitior .However Roland is high quality based printers.And Roland printer doesnt require service a lot.


Roland Printer Models are:

Eco-Solvent Printers

• SOLJET PRO III XC-540 54" printer/cutter
• SOLJET PRO III XJ Series 54"/64"/74" printers
• VersaArt RS Series 64" printer
• VersaArt RE-640 64" printer
• VersaCAMM SP-i Series 30"/54" printer/cutters
• SOLJET SJ-1045EX 104" printer

Eco-Solvent  Printers with Metallic & White

• SOLJET PRO III XC-540MT 54" printer/cutter
• VersaCAMM VS Series 30"/54"/64" printer/cutters
• VersaStudio BN-20 20" printer/cutter
• 
  

I dont recomment Eco solvent printers with Metallic&White due to quality issue and high cost of ink.

2. Mimaki Eco Solvent printer:-Another Leading Japanese company, They are very attractive on 2011-2012 . Mimaki opening New Mimaki owned companies many Emerging companies where Mimaki expect high value . Mimaki expand products much faster after they release Print and Cut printer and Mimaki JV5( which is not perfect printer).Mimaki also launched Latex based ink printer which is second printer of the world after HP and also  bring first White Latex ink from Mimaki.

I recommend Mimaki JV3(old model) and mimaki JV33 printer which highly stable .

Mimaki Printer Models are:

• 
  
CJV30 Series 

JV 3 Series

JV5 Series

3.Mutoh Eco Solvent printer- This is also Japanese company called Mutoh,
 they seem not going smooth on business where they close down Mutoh Belgium 
factory and getting smaller  size and also rumoured on market that Epson and Mutoh
 has close relations and relation may end with Mutoh will /may acquire by Epson
 on long run.(rumoured only)

Mutoh printers are not bad but complicated and not stable compare to Roland and 
Mimaki.

4.Seiko printers - Latest Eco solvent(Low Solvent compan)- Seiko Holding is huge 
,including printhead manufacturer and another company is printer manufacturer
 Seiko Infotech.

They had very famous Konica 512MH based Seiko Colorpainter printer with 
14pl printhead which is also OEMed by HP 3-4 years and finalized unsuccesfully 
where only TOYO ink  shoulduse . It was strange that  Seiko used Konica head in
 first pritnter.

Seiko new printer Seiko H series with Seiko 508gs printhead on multicolor option .
It is fast and perfect quality however printer price and ink price is not competition
 with mimaki-Mutoh and rolandwhere they use EPSON head.

5- Eurotechprinters - Mid-size Turkish printer manufacturer where they establish 
Konica 512/1024 14pl oxy -eco odorless solvent printer-Printer price is expensive than
 Roland-Mimaki and Mutoh but size is 3.2m and speed is %50 faster than them.
Ink price 2 times cheaper than others. Quality looks stabil however 

Signage price competition needs low price ink and printer.

You will find more Chinese Printers however Service and Stability is issue ,But they are king of

price .

These are all reality of Market.
