II. Abstract In the industrial printing market, there's been an active shift to digital printing to partly replace conventional analog printing methods known as offset, screen, and flexographic printing. A digital printing method has made variable and high-mix low-volume printing jobs possible and marketing approaches built upon it available to best suit detailed individual printing needs. Some of such best known examples are DM and advertisements based on customer database, whereas personal photo albums and locally available product packages are also works of digital printing. In addition, digital printing technology is advantageous to large outdoor signage that is practically high-mix and low-volume in most cases. Among digital printing methods, inkjet methods especially carry high expectations because

they support non-paper media without contacting them. As for wide-format printing, inkjet printing technology is also mainly used for ceramic tiles, in addition to traditional poster printing and sign graphics. The textile industry is no exception. Inkjet technology is used to produce more than half of clothing products in Italy, home to high-end fashion labels, and Turkey and China that host huge apparel production bases are beginning to follow the move. The digital printing technology is expected to advance to the wall coverings and home textiles (bed sheets, cushions, and other items) industries. In contrast, the electrophotographic printing technology with dry toner was leading the market for high-speed printing devices, but inkjet devices are making inroads into various markets in recent years. Specifically, a market of variable, as well as high-mix and low-volume printing that usually come with several hundreds of small orders was originally cultivated by the electrophotographic printing technology but is now being taken over by inkjet printing technology, which is also advancing into mainstay markets of printing and publishing, commercial printing, as well as packaging and labels printing. And yet, the industrial inkjet market is still at a growing stage. In the wide-format printing

market, the open system that allows use of after-market inks competes fiercely against the closed system that only advocates for use of genuine inks. Even in the high-speed printing market, various companies are rushing to improve their water-based inks used for packaging printing but their research is only halfway done. Amid this, a major market disruptor, Amazon filed a patent application for a robotic system that uses inks as guides to cut fabric. The cutting guides can also be used for custom printing. As exemplified by this, many sorts of industries will need to be able to provide customized products moving forward, and inkjet printing is one of such product-customization technologies that will play a major role in the digital printing market. Data Supply Inc.'s "2018 Inkjet Printing Market Forecast" will be a second publication

continued from last year. We visited Italy this time, home to textiles products, and interviewed local makers to look into the industrial landscape so we can provide very intensive and updated market analysis. We truly hope the report serves as many professionals engaged in the inkjet industry as possible.
