“Labour and cost pressures in offset environments are accelerating the move to digital print platforms.”
This is one of the main findings from an industry forecast published by consulting firm Keypoint Intelligence for U.S. and Western European print markets. The other main insight: large production color inkjet is projected to grow, thanks to digital printing consolidation and print volume shifting from large single runs to multiple short runs.
This means print service providers need to adapt their offering to take advantage of this changing demand.
Let’s dive into potential bottlenecks commercial printers encounter using a toner commercial printer when compared to an inkjet production printer.
Inkjet printers have predictable print costs
You need a steady, transparent cost per page so you can price work with confidence.
One university print studio in Prague moved to inkjet and began delivering color textbooks at the price they once paid for black-and-white, after testing jobs and switching to a setup that cut steps and waste.
That kind of move turns the rising toner cost issue into a problem from the past: inkjet solutions provide manageable, stable economics.
Inkjet printers are reliable every day
When printers are down, people are stuck, and trust from your clients takes a hit when deadlines are not met.
One of the best examples for this is observing how our solution translates for professionals that cannot afford to run without printed materials: the educational sector.
From worksheets to posters and personalised booklets, inkjet delivers the vibrant, versatile output educators need to engage every learner.
That’s exactly what TASKalfa inkjet solution delivers for education: reliable output, every single day.
Production inkjet solutions support a wide range of modern print jobs.”
Inkjet printers allow you to do more work in-house
Saying “No” to a potential client or outsourcing is costly, both for your time and for your margins.
Inkjet solutions enable customers to say “Yes” to more applications – and ready your business to serve changing customer needs in the future.
Alblasserdam-based commercial print operator Verloop Drukkerij, who integrated the TASKalfa 15000C as part of their offering, have recently passed the 1-million-page mark, showing that this solution can seamlessly integrate into existing workflows and allow you to scale your in-house work.
The result was faster turnarounds, reduced energy use, and more control over quality – an outcome unattainable with toner.
Integrating workflows with inkjet solutions
Our inkjet solution slots seamlessly into your existing infrastructure, whether you’re running with PDF or IPDS workflows. Document integrity and security remain intact, with no disruption to the protocols you already have in place.
Thanks to our trusted partnerships with TAGG and Solimar Sytems: even the most complex transactional print environment is made possible.
In practice, this means your print shop or in-plant can integrate the TaskALFA Pro 15000c alongside your legacy devices and continue using their IPDS print jobs and job ticketing as before: integrated solutions ensure all jobs print correctly on the Kyocera device.
Smooth integrations minimise retraining or reprogramming, allowing you to leverage the speed and low operating cost of our commercial inkjet solution into your IPDS-based workflow, effortlessly. Essentially, Kyocera inkjet solutions can integrate into any existing workflow.
Inkjet renders consistent colour with more runs – faster
Customers want consistent color and often need shorter runs with quick turnarounds - all in one go.
An Australian marketing and print firm added two TASKalfa Pro 15000c devices, a commercial inkjet printer, to fill the gap between offset and short-run digital so they could personalise at scale, speed up their delivery, and reduce running costs associated with power use from offset printing.
This kind of flexibility turns “urgent and complex” into “routine and repeatable”.
