Using enhanced printing techniques offers many opportunities for creating direct mail pieces, marketing materials, and packaging that get noticed by adding texture, gloss, or extended color gamuts, all while maintaining high print quality. When combined with other digital print advantages such as short runs, quick turnarounds, personalized print, and just-in-time manufacturing, these enhanced capabilities open up an entirely new world for providers of digital printing.
