Though developing with a strong momentum, digital print to replace traditional printing completely takes time.
First, the cost of digital printing is still far higher than traditional printing, though its cost continues to reduce. In mass production, digital printing doesn’t have any advantage at all temporally. Furthermore, in the development process of digital printing, advanced technology is important, but not decisive. For printers, the application of digital printing changes not only the way of production, but also the marketing method and production environment. Thirdly, the installations of digital printing presses need new talents.

When the issues of cost, printing environment, and talent resource have been solved, perhaps it is the end of traditional printing, and the world of digital printing.
