During a recent visit to label converter SixB Labels in Dallas, TX, USA, vice president Fari Bakhshian stated, “My belief has always been that if you ever get to the Star Trek days and there is any printing left, it will be a form of inkjet.

Digital inkjet printing, whether it be water-based or UV, has undergone seismic growth in recent years. The number of industry players has multiplied, and the technology continues to improve. The proliferation of single pass UV inkjet printing has also gained traction among label converters.
