For printers and publishers, on-demand printing is no longer a fresh concept. The changes brought by on-demand printing to the publishing industry, such as reducing inventory, minimizing waste, and achieving short board book printing, are well-known to people. However, as people's understanding of on-demand printing technology deepens and this technology is increasingly being applied in the publishing field, publishers are no longer satisfied with conceptual explanations. They urgently need to see the emergence of truly feasible application cases that can answer their doubts.
The "Embracing the Digital Age, Jointly Building the Future of Publishing" summit forum has answered the questions that have troubled publishers. As a result, representatives from publishers, digital printing equipment manufacturers, and printing companies in the publishing industry chain have conducted in-depth discussions on copyright protection, profit issues, and industry chain integration issues that are highly concerned in on-demand publishing.
