Digital printing guide extended to packaging

An updated of the Digital Label Printing ‘How to…’ guide has been published to provide additional information on new trends and technologies, including the growth in digital package printing.

Digital Label and Package Printing ‒ A ‘How to’ guide to terminology, technology, materials, management and performance has been written by Michael Fairley and is published by Packprint World parent Tarsus.

Digital Label and Package Printing is the latest in the series of ‘How to…’ books to be published by Tarsus Publishing, and incorporates much of the combined knowledge and expertise of many of the world’s leading digital printing experts so as to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding digital terminology, including native and apparent resolution, dpi, greyscales, digital front end, etc.

Substantially re-written and re-edited since the original Digital Label Printing book was published in 2009, this latest version has now been extended to include a chapter on digital package printing, as well as chapters on laser die-cutting and digital finishing technology.

A further chapter reviews current digital press and finishing machines on the market, comparing technical specifications for many of the leading makes and models available.

The new book, Digital Label and Package Printing – A ‘How to’ guide to terminology, technology, materials, management and performance, is published by Tarsus Publishing and can be ordered at www.labelsandlabelling.com/bookstore, priced at $99 (£59).
