The figures suggest that investment is now focusing on innovation, leveraging the quality and productivity of existing solutions. Mimaki sees this change as an opportunity to provide optimized solutions, especially for the 63% of respondents who expect large-format digital printing to deliver a greater financial return within two years.
The diversity and versatility of large format printers and cutting plotters expand the range of applications through UV LED, textile, solvent, labeling & packaging, and 3D printers. Valuable advantages for entrepreneurship and competitiveness. Because being an entrepreneur does not mean changing everything to get results, but rather using the right means to do more while investing less. That is an innovative idea.
Whether in the United Kingdom and Ireland or anywhere else in the world, innovative ideas are just a click away.
