The use of screen-printing equipment for P-O-P and retail graphics declines as orders for shorter runs of more customized materials continue to rise.
It’s hard to believe that it’s only been about 15 years since the first flatbed inkjet printers to use UV-curable inks hit the market. So much has changed since 2000, both for firms that started out as screen printers and their clients in retailing and brand marketing.

Any time there’s a discussion of the versatile light-emitting diode (LED), there’s sure to be a lot of acronyms thrown into the mix. And acronyms—unless you have a military background (Lima! Echo! Delta! Sierra!)—can sometimes confuse and befuddle.
