What Is Digital Printing & Finishing Equipment?

Digital printing equipment produces printed output directly from electronic artwork and production data. Depending on the application, the system may print static, versioned, personalized, or fully variable content onto sheets, rolls, labels, envelopes, corrugated materials, packaging, or other supported media.

Finishing and converting equipment completes the process by cutting, slitting, rewinding, laminating, perforating, or otherwise preparing the printed material for its final application.

Digital printing systems may operate as standalone presses or as modular print engines mounted onto feeders, transport bases, mail systems, finishing lines, packaging equipment, or other production platforms.

Explore printing and finishing technologies based on the material, finished application, production volume, variable-data requirements, and downstream process.

Production Color Printers

Produce short-run, on-demand, and high-quality color output for brochures, booklets, documents, postcards, manuals, promotional materials, and other commercial or in-plant applications.

The appropriate system depends on media range, finished size, run length, monthly volume, image requirements, color expectations, and downstream finishing.

Production & Modular Inkjet Systems

Print variable text, addresses, barcodes, graphics, and personalized content using standalone production systems or modular print engines configured for existing transports and production lines.

Modular systems may be mounted to feeders, conveyors, mail transports, finishing equipment, packaging lines, or other compatible platforms.

Corrugated, Envelope & Specialty Printing

Print directly onto corrugated sheets, boxes, envelopes, mailers, cartons, and other supported materials using equipment selected around the substrate, dimensions, print area, ink coverage, data requirements, and production speed.

Applications may include branded corrugated packaging, prototypes, short-run boxes, personalized envelopes, postcards, self-mailers, and other specialty printed output.

Finishing & Converting Equipment

Prepare printed sheets and rolls for the finished application using cutting, slitting, rewinding, laminating, perforating, and other supported finishing processes.

Finishing equipment may operate inline with a printer, near-line as part of a coordinated workflow, or offline as an independent production process.

Standalone Press or Modular Print System?

Not every digital printing application requires a complete standalone press. Modular print engines can add variable printing, addressing, barcodes, graphics, and personalization to an existing production platform.

Standalone Digital Printing Systems

A complete printing platform manages media feeding, printing, controls, and output within one primary production system.

  • Production color printing
  • Roll-fed production printing
  • Digital label production
  • Corrugated printing
  • Short-run commercial print

Modular Inkjet Printing Systems

A modular print engine is added to a compatible feeder, transport, conveyor, mail system, finishing line, packaging machine, or other existing platform.

  • Variable addressing
  • Personalized mail
  • Barcode and numbering applications
  • Inline graphics or text
  • Printing before or after another production process

The correct approach depends on the media, required print area, data, production speed, available space, existing equipment, and where printing must occur within the workflow. Compatibility is evaluated for each application.

What Determines the Right Digital Printing Equipment?

The right system should be selected around the finished printed application and complete workflow, not only the advertised print speed or resolution.

Finished Application and Media

Define what must be printed and the materials the system must handle, including sheets, rolls, labels, envelopes, corrugated board, cartons, or other supported substrates.

Print Quality and Data

Identify color expectations, image coverage, print area, variable text, personalized graphics, barcodes, sequential numbering, and other data requirements.

Production Volume and Job Mix

Review average run length, monthly volume, number of versions, SKU count, job frequency, changeover needs, and expected growth.

Finishing and Integration

Determine whether the output must be cut, slit, rewound, laminated, perforated, transported, inserted, inspected, or connected with another production process.

ATP uses this information to help identify whether the application requires a standalone digital press, modular printing system, specialty printer, finishing system, or a connected production workflow.

Digital Printing & Finishing Equipment FAQs

What types of digital printing equipment does ATP provide?

ATP provides selected equipment across production color printing, production and modular inkjet, digital label printing, corrugated and envelope printing, and print finishing. Available equipment depends on the application, manufacturer, project requirements, and ATP's current product portfolio.

What is the difference between a digital press and a modular inkjet system?

A digital press is generally a complete production printing platform with its own media handling, print engine, controls, and output. A modular inkjet system adds printing capability to a compatible feeder, transport, mail line, finishing system, packaging line, or other existing platform.

Can modular printing equipment be added to an existing production line?

In many applications, a modular print engine can be added to existing equipment. Compatibility depends on the media, print width, line speed, controls, product presentation, available mounting space, data requirements, and surrounding equipment.

What information does ATP need to recommend digital printing equipment?

Helpful information includes printed samples, media type, dimensions, print area, run length, monthly volume, variable-data requirements, color expectations, finishing needs, current equipment, available space, and photographs or video of the workflow.
