Inkjet Printing Makes Personalized Books Possible

Historically, personalized books were still mass-produced using traditional analog printing techniques. Larger runs were required for the process to be cost-effective. That’s why most “personalized” printed books were just a selection of the most popular names at the time.

With the growing adoption of inkjet printing, personalized books can be made for any name. Today, far more than a name can be personalized.

These books show how evolution in inkjet technology continues to find its way into new industries and areas.
