Is digital printing a production technology? Or a marketing strategy? "Digital Printing: Transforming Business and Marketing Models" argues for the latter. It presents digital print not as technology in the domain of print buyers and production managers but as the foundation of a comprehensive strategy for changing the way marketers view marketing.

Section 1 looks at what digital printing is, along with its benefits and drawbacks from a marketing perspective. It examines traditional sticking points for digital printing, including binding and finishing, survivability in the U.S. mail stream, and substrates. This section also looks at how these characteristics drive key marketing applications.

Section 2 looks at how digital printing is used to "green" marketing programs, including some surprising case studies.

Section 3 looks at each of these applications in each of eight marketing classifications (short-run static, versioning, one-off personalized follow-ups, automated fulfillment, personalized URLs, 1:1/personalized printing, transactional and transpromotional, and Web-to-print), each with three best-in-class case studies.

Section 4 looks at new ways of evaluating cost that are critical to digital printing success: cost per piece, cost per lead, and ROI, among others. Hypotheticals are used to drive the points home.

Section 5 examines critical success factors that enable marketers to take maximum advantage of digital printing technology.

Section 6 draws final conclusions and provides additional resources as a next step.
