Future Publishing and Printing (4)

1. By 2020 or even after that, the number of prints for advertising and promotional materials will continue to grow.
2. Advertising brochures, leaflets and advertising catalogs are the most typical advertising printing materials, but posters, advertising cards and other advertising materials also occupy a large market, and many advertising printed materials do not have electronic competitors.
3. PDF brochures are still available, but many advertising materials are placed at retail outlets or other sales outlets for consumers to access. The location-fixing characteristics of advertising materials make it difficult for electronic forms of materials to spread widely. It is likely that customers with wirelessly received PDAs will receive these product advertisements as they walk through the exhibition venue.
4. The main competitors for offset printing will be high-quality color presses that are constantly being improved. This allows stores and other points of sale to print advertising products as needed.
5. The requirements of creative design companies for six-color printing and other high-fidelity color printing methods, as well as delustering and laminating gluing processes, will increase. The high-quality color printing industry continues to develop needles in this century.
6. Post-processing technology is a major problem for local printing sites. Moreover, the production of folded stapled printing products is already very convenient.
Internal communication and its forms
The form of paper media exchange will be greatly reduced because it will eventually be replaced by electronic forms. Paper media file backups will be retained for some time, but ultimately an increase in the degree of trust in this form of communication will reduce the demand for paper. Now that we have moved financial transaction documents to finance and law, we will not discuss it here. Internal memos and other intra-office and intra-company communication documents will be replaced by e-mail and email attachments in Word, Exeel, and PDF formats.
1. In the next 20 years, almost all paper media exchange methods will be replaced by electronic means.
2. At present and in the future, many documents will be published in PDF or XML format so that they can be used by electronic users. Users can also print on local printers.
3. Flat files as inventory and storage items will gradually disappear and will only be printed when needed.
4. Most of the materials used as internal office and even internal organization communication will be distributed through local area networks and the Internet. Printing will be conducted only when users need them.
5. The number of contract documents will be reduced. Electronic signatures make the electronic version of the contract text as valid.
other
Products such as greeting cards, wrapping paper, and wallpaper belong to this category. The full-wall electronic wallpaper allows the wall decoration to change constantly, but you always have to wrap the gift (unless you use electronic wrapping paper). You have to send a greeting card to your grandmother instead of using a greeting e-mail, even if the grandmother It is very likely that you will chat with other grandmothers online and you should not do that at all.
1. Most of these products are special printed products, and there are few competitors in the electronics field.
2. We can already see some of the shortcomings of greeting cards: e-cards are now common but they lack enthusiasm and aesthetics; but future computer users will not display their greeting cards on a mantelpiece or bookcase.
3. By 2020, card collection will also be a big problem, and Pokemon may still be very popular. Unless someone implements a CD-ROM-collected project, printed cards have value.
4. The calendar and calendar book will be located on the PDA and the electronic system but the paper version will be saved. After all, looking at the wall calendar to calculate time is much easier.
Cultural and educational supplies
Handwritten letters are gradually being replaced by e-mail, and electronic means of communication between PDA users will increase and affect the production of business cards. Ultimately, digital photo, audio, and video information exchanges will replace what we currently know about text messaging. People will be able to communicate by sending audio and video messages via email. It can be seen that the number of envelopes will decrease in the next 20 years.
1. After 2020, further e-mail development will affect the number of letterhead envelopes.
2. After 2010, digital information will become very common. Ultimately, every mobile phone and PDA can receive electronic information from other mobile phones and PDAs.
3. The printing business for special stationery will slowly decline because it is part of the company's image, and it is still indispensable for communication on some occasions.
4. Electronic media, including sound, are becoming more and more popular. This will affect the traditional way of business communication. Future e-mails will incorporate photo, image, and sound information into regular programs.
5. The sales volume of cut blank papers will increase significantly as more and more printing industries are carried out in homes and offices, and the printing companies will undertake more short-run business.
in conclusion
The printing industry will not die out. In the long run, the printing industry will not slow its growth until 2040-2050 and then decline. However, the printing industry will not die. During this time, toners and ink jets will partially replace inks, as digital presses are squeezing the market for analog printers. This will lead to an increase in on-demand printing and short-run printing.
In the next 20-50 years, disseminating information to the general public in non-paper format will be an inevitable trend in the development of the printing industry. (End of the article)
