Collins Inkjet is an industry leader in formulating and manufacturing water-based,
solvent-based, oil-based, UV curable, LED curable, and EB inkjet inks for industrial
applications. As consumer demands evolve and product SKU's increase, brand owners
require more from their packaging, creating the ideal applications for digital inkjet
printing– an area we know very well.
Collins has a long history of creating custom inks for high-speed production printing.
When it comes to package printing, this experience, paired with our formulation exper-
tise has allowed us to hit the ground running and push the technology into new applica-
tion space.

These capabilities enable opportunities
for service providers to build a new level
of service. We are looking forward to 2015
because our install base is still ramping up,
and this is an exciting time. Our vision
indicates significant market potential into
next year, and subsequent years to follow.
Shafer: By moving the shorter run
products off of legacy offset equipment
you now can make those same jobs more
profitable and also make your operation
more efficient by being able to produce
certain products in one run with color po-
tential on every page that previously took
multiple passes to complete. Also with the
same ability to print short runs profitable,
new titles can be ran that were previously
resisted because it was not efficient to run
on offset. New niche type sections with
personalized content also can open the
door for local advertisers that declined
before because it did not make sense to
advertise in areas that you were not going
to get clientele.
Williams: As the inks are improved and
press speeds are inkjet printing gets closer
electronic collation, just-in-time manu-
facturing, workflow automation, and of
course very high speeds and productivity.
As we have seen in 2014, speed, improved
affordability, and quality mean that inkjet
can deliver on unique value propositions
for critical applications.
All of this brings about a new value
proposition because today's high-speed,
continuous- feed inkjet systems enable
true business model transformation in
terms of customer operations, targeting
& personalization, and profitability in
addition to very compelling cost-per-page
metrics. These factors have huge business
implications beyond the typical cost cross-
over curves.
Sanker: Output coming from these de-
vices is mostly new work and a combina-
tion of conventional applications that are
being modified and improved as a result
of developments due to the technology.
We see this in in terms of transpromo,
statement processing, books, book com-
ponents, custom marketing material, and
database printing of new applications that
were otherwise not possible.
