In the early morning of March 29, 2021, the local on-demand printing project undertaken by CNPIEC digital printing, Ltd. was officially put into production, and the first batch of newspapers have been successfully delivered to customers.

Print-on-demand is a continuation of print-on-demand, and its market orientation is for those who are traveling abroad or in other places, and who want to read their hometown newspapers. It meets the needs of those customers who are accustomed to reading newspapers but cannot get them in time, and is one of the practical applications of print-on-demand.

CNPIEC digital printing adopts digital on-demand printing technology to realize real-time on-demand printing of original newspapers in different places. The printing source files of the daily newspapers are simultaneously transmitted to the CNPIEC digital printing Factory, printed in real time according to the local circulation and delivered to the readers. In this way, readers from all over the world can see the newspaper in their hometown for the first time.

The paper selected by we for on-demand printing can restore the touch of newsprint to the greatest extent. By replacing the oil-based inks used in traditional newspapers with water-based inks suitable for digital printing presses, the color reproduction and clarity of newspapers are greatly improved, and the overall visual perception of newspapers is optimized without VOCs emissions and being more environmentally friendly. and reading experience.

Traditional newspaper printing, due to the limitation of the number of prints from the start-up, cannot reduce the printing volume according to the circulation, resulting in huge waste; while the on-demand printing can be flexibly produced according to the circulation, which minimizes the loss and saves resources. On-demand printing does not require transnational and trans-regional transportation, which minimizes the number of logistics transportation, greatly reduces logistics costs, and ensures the timeliness of news information. On-demand printing not only brings changes to the way of newspaper distribution, but also is a typical "supply-side reform" in the distribution industry.
