Blog: Why Inkjet Single-Pass Innovation Needs a New Standard
Mr. Luis Venâncio, Technology Development Leader in Industrial Inkjet Printing, Brazil
For the past 25 years, I’ve worked across visual communication, commercial printing, and metal packaging industries. Within the inkjet world specifically, I’ve operated equipment, managed color profiling, automated prepress workflows (including for offset systems), overseen production, and collaborated in the development of coatings for improved adhesion and print performance. This broad exposure allowed me to understand the entire inkjet ecosystem—not just as a set of components, but as an integrated production reality.
My conclusion is simple: what inkjet single-pass innovation needs is not another machine—it needs a new production standard.
