What is a primary difference between industrial prints and commercial prints?

The primary difference between industrial prints and commercial prints lies in process control. In industrial settings, there is a heightened focus on precision and consistency throughout the production processes. Industrial prints often involve complex systems that require stringent monitoring and controlling of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and material flow. This is essential to meet the specific requirements for reliability and durability that industrial applications demand. Process control ensures that each phase of production adheres to strict standards, minimizing variability and ensuring that the final product meets the necessary specifications.

In contrast, commercial prints may prioritize aesthetics and market trends, which can lead to variations in processes that are not as critically monitored. While process control is still important in commercial printing, the degree to which it is emphasized is typically less than in industrial settings, where the stakes for performance and safety are higher.
