Most important is ... paper
Paper in printing and printing is probably the most important thing next to paints. Without it, printing would not be possible. Paper as a material has been known since 105, n. E., That is for a very long time. However, it was not until the twentieth century that more and more types of paper for various applications were invented.
And now we have paper chalked, white, slippery, coated with plastics, etc. All this to achieve different results of advertising and journalistic printing. The end result of the printed item depends on the choice of paper, its durability and durability.
Low Costs
Printing labels for various types of products has grown significantly in recent times. Along with new and efficient printing machines, labels can be ordered even at very low costs without worrying about the exorbitant rate. Of course, large outlays are still cheaper, but this difference is not as big as a few years ago.
The potential market for low-cost prints is small, local companies producing small quantities of goods. Recently also a lot of home brewers begin to label their own beers, of course not for trade, but for example for contests. In addition, we have producers of honey, preserves and organic food, where the demand is rather small expenditure labels.
About printing companies
Paints, inks, paper, toners, foils and other consumables - these are things that can not be missing from printing plants. They are ordered wholesale and also consumed in bulk. For each order, the production costs are optimized, and the appropriate technique and type of printing is selected.
Graphic designers, DTP operators and printers deal with this. They are responsible for the quality of the printout and as soon as something is wrong they are the first to be targeted by the dissatisfied boss. Their work is quite hard and I have to admit that you have to really have a fuss to do it. Work after hours, maximum focus and responsibility - definitely not work for everyone.
