Offerings for print industry

Home

Overview

From Gutenberg’s first press in 1440 to 3D Printing, the print industry continues to evolve. Digital technologies are now growing in industrial print segments such as labels, flexible packaging, corrugated, folding cartons, and specialty. 3D printing enables applications that were not yet possible with traditional manufacturing.  Strategies to leverage 3D printing cost-effectively are gaining ground. COVID-19 is accelerating these changes in the print industry. The near-universal shift to work-from-anywhere has disrupted well-established revenue streams for the established print OEMs. It has also accelerated the move from paper-based document processing to digital data and information flows.

The print OEMs are rushing to establish new revenue streams to capture market share in the shift to an increasingly digital environment. On one hand, they are increasing their offerings for next-gen digital data capture and document workflows to embed themselves in the enterprise functional flows. On the other hand, they are leveraging their tech prowess to extend print technology to special-use production printers and 3D printers. Reduced topline due to COVID-19 is putting pressure on their product development pipeline, while there is also a need to direct more investment into next-gen products and solutions. This is the time to consider collaboration with a technology and services partner to augment their internal tech capability and significantly improve their time to profit.

HCLTech’s Digital and Print Technology practice of over 2,500 engineers has extensive experience and deep expertise, working on a vast array of print devices, apps, and workflow software. Products range from home, office to production, offset, finishing, industrial, and 3D printers. Software expertise cuts across embedded controllers and DFEs, drivers, mobile, apps, cloud, and workflow solutions. Hardware includes mechanical, PWB, ASIC, VLSI, power supply, ink and toner technology, and paper path.

HCLTech works on new product development, sustaining / VAVE, digital product support, V&V, digital solutions development, program management, and more. For our partners, HCLTech collaborates to deliver one-off features or end-to-end design and development of print devices and solutions.
