HYBRID
PRINTING
The personalization of documents by adding variable texts or images includes information that requires verification in order to achieve their objective (one to one direct marketing, addressing, transpromotional documents, value coupons, etc.) .
Today, this concerns, for example, supermarkets associating part of local promotions with national advertisements, the press with targeted additions of articles according to the tastes of each reader, etc.
​
Given the printing speeds of offset presses, Axode has set up with partners an innovative customization and variable data control solution allowing offset printers to access personalized printing at a lower cost, without investing in a press. digital. In particular, the maintenance of color alignment, colorimetry and print quality are managed automatically in real time and in a closed loop with the printer.
Hybrid printing is characterized by the combination of two technologies, offset printing and digital printing. This involves integrating inkjet print heads into an offset press in order to add personalization to the flow of still images and data.
