The growth of digital printing, offset printing, custom printing, silkscreen printing, and many more continued to rise till the end of 2004. All of these had already set their own places in the commercial printing marketplace. However, much is still expected from this industry in the coming years, especially in the year 2005. According to the article posted on December 6, 2004 at creativepro.com, it is believed that the print business will continue to improve or be steady in 2005. Overall, most printing markets expect that business will be about the same as it has been. Yet, we would hope that some in the industry would expect more room for improvement. On the flipside, there is a sense by some that the good times they're experiencing now are as good as they're ever going to get. This is good to hear, folks! After all, we all enjoy the services that the printing industry offers. It eliminated most of the hassles that we encountered in our printing jobs before.

In 2004, printers already realized that there’s more sales opportunity in adding printing capabilities and they’ve become one of the healthiest of the printing markets. It happened largely by providing better services, as well as new technologies such as digital printing, color copying, and non-print services such as cross-media services.

And with its large part in the development of the printing industry, to broaden the digital color variable printing jobs is an opportunity.
