PRINTING United Expo 2025: How To Make Money as a Printer in a Digital World.

How Printers Can Profit in a Digital-First World
PRINTING United Expo 2025 made one thing clear: the future of print belongs to those who innovate. In an era dominated by screens and automation, printers and toner suppliers can still achieve strong growth by combining creativity, technology, and smart customer strategy.

1. Focus on high-value buyers.
Not every client delivers equal profit. Target customers who buy quickly, value premium quality, and reorder consistently. These relationships shorten sales cycles and increase toner and consumables volume for repeat jobs.

2. Add value with digital-ready print.
Modern print buyers expect more than flat color. Integrate textured coatings, specialty toners, and “phygital” features like QR codes and augmented reality. These enhancements transform printed pieces into interactive experiences — increasing both engagement and margin potential.

3. Bridge print and digital channels.
Today’s most successful print providers don’t compete with digital marketing — they amplify it. A personalized mailer or brochure that connects customers to online content drives measurable ROI and demonstrates print’s continued power in a digital world.

4. Stay agile and tech-driven.
Adopt short, flexible business plans — “now, next, later” — to stay responsive to supply chain shifts, customer demands, and emerging toner technologies. Agility is profitability.

Bottom line: The printing industry isn’t fading — it’s evolving. By embracing digital-ready print technologies, smarter toner applications, and customer-centric marketing, forward-thinking printers can turn innovation into income and keep print powerfully relevant in 2025 and beyond.
