Digital printing was a process that incorporates on-demand, high-quality print and
represents a modern technique of production that enables printing from electronic files.
Professional printing where small-run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources
are printed using large-format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers. Although analog
printing of packaging will likely be around for a long time, digital print is filling a niche that
is more difficult for analog-only producers to handle. Short-run job volumes continue to
grow, and some of the work that was once produced on analog devices has already moved to
digital. The options are increasing, variable imaging is becoming more prevalent, and
customers are demanding shorter turnaround times. All these factors, combined with
advancements in digital print technology that increase productivity and lower costs, have
enabled digital’s role within the packaging market to expand. Every business organization’s
success depends on the satisfaction of the customers. Whenever a business was about to
start, customers always come “first and then the profit. The main topic was about, Customers
Satisfaction and Challenges encountered on PROJECT SPEED DECALS. One of the
important aspects is to ensure to provide the customer the best quality of design and digital
printing services at this competing market.
Meanwhile mentioned by Laura Wood (2020), the United States maintained a 5.5%
growth momentum. Within Europe, which continues to remain an important element in the
world economy, Germany will add over US$434.1 Million to the region's size and clout in
the next 5 to 6 years. Increased demand for promotional materials from the retail, food, and
beverage industries is driving the market. The commercial printing market is being driven
majorly by several promotional activities such as print advertising. Retail businesses that
understand their target markets are including print advertising as part of an overall marketing
strategy. In addition, the "Food & Wine" magazine is experiencing growth across its brand
with a newly enhanced print product. With the publication of its April 2020 California Wine
print issue, it attracted new advertisers in 2020, including Ford, LG Signature Series,
Silversea Cruises, Sub Zero, St. Regis, and Raymond James. It reported that print ad revenue
increased 18% year-over-year between January and April of 2020 and 2019. Over US$383.9
Million worth of projected demand in the region will come from Rest of Europe markets.

On the other hand, it was mentioned by Laura Wood (2020) The Asia-Pacific region
accounts for a significant market share due to increasing demand from critical regions,
including China, India, Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand. Factors such as the inception of
new technologies, changing lifestyles, rise in e-commerce, urbanization, etc., are driving the
growth of the printing market in the region, in Japan, Aqueous will reach a market size of
US$613.9 Million by the close of the analysis period. As the world’s second largest
economy and the new game changer in global markets. The Japanese digital printing market
is driven by various factors, such as the growing adoption of e-commerce, consumer
electronics, and packaged and processed food. China exhibits the potential to grow at 4.3%
over the next couple of years and add approximately US$1.4 Billion in terms of addressable
opportunity for the picking by aspiring businesses and their astute leaders. The Chinese
printing industry shows a high level of enthusiasm and interest toward new, data-based
business models, digital platform solutions, and end-to-end digitized value creation chains.
Furthermore Vicente, (January 2019), Data collected from the Philippine Printing
Technical Foundation (PPTF) showed that the print industry has around 3,000 printing
businesses in the Philippines, 20 of which are part of the country’s Top 1,000 corporations.
This indicates that despite the rise of digital technology today, print still proves to be a vital
component in the way we function and go about our daily lives. Total spending for printers
in the Philippines reached US$163-million in 2017 and US$78-million in the first half of
2018. Inkjet printers are increasingly becoming more attractive to home users and SMEs as
well. Also noted that among countries in Asia, the Philippines showed the highest share of
inkjets in their respective national printer markets in 2017. In 2017, inkjet printers accounted
for 94% of the total Philippine printer market shipments and showed a 14% year-on-year
growth. The improvement in the demand for inkjets was due to the affordable price of the
devices and their consumables, as well as in the ease of using these products.

Digital printing methods have developed considerably in recent years, both in terms
of quality and productivity. New products based on the variable data printing capability of
digital printing have been introduced. Digital methods have also taken market share from
mechanical printing methods in the on-demand and short-run production of traditional
products. The market share of digital printing will continue to increase in the future,
Kariniemi & Nors, (2018).
According to Minta, (2018) Customer satisfaction has been one of the essential
characters that managers should focus on. The firm’s competitive advantage was satisfying
clients better than its rivals, surpassing clients’ needs, and wants better than its competitors.
Moreover, Kotler and Keller, (2016) said that customer satisfaction was clients’
perceptions of happiness or frustration due to a comparison between the performance of a
product/service and clients’ expectations. Satisfaction is feeling happy or disappointed
someone who arises because of comparing the perceived performance of the product (or
result) to their expectations. This term is often used as a measure of how the products and
services provided by the company meet or exceed customer expectations. In the service
environment, customer satisfaction has been seen as a special form of customer attitude.
While according Njei Zephan, (2018), Customer satisfaction can be understood to be the
difference between customers’ expectation before consumption and realization after
consumption of product or service. Kotler and Armstrong, (2016) were satisfied, proud,
happy and exceeded expectations.
According to Kotler and Keller, (2018), argue that price is a sum of money or value
that is exchanged by consumers to get profits from ownership or charged for a product or
service. Price is milk for the customer and something else for the seller. For customers, this
is the cost of something. For the price seller is the income and the main source of profit.
Another opinion of price according to Kotler and Amstrong (2018) is “the amount of money
exchanged for a product and service. Furthermore, prices are a number of values that
consumers exchange for the number of benefits by owning or using an item or service”. The
indicator used in accordance with Kotler and Armstrong in Ismail, et al., (2016) suggested
that price is the amount of money charged for a product or a service; the sum of the values

that customers exchange for the benefits of having or using a product or service. Price is a
major factor behind satisfaction & product loyalty because a customer carefully perceives if
he is getting the most benefit from the product against his spending.
According to Omar, Saadan and Seman (2015), reliability is found to be one of the
important dimensions in the service quality. Company has to perform as what they had
promises in order to gain trust from their customers. It is the measure of stability of a
company performance and how can a company be dependable. That most of the empirical
studies current days found that reliability is one of the most important factors in determining
customer satisfaction and suggested that the key attributes of reliability include accurate
delivery, being truthful, keeping the promise, accurate order and availability.

This review of related literature and studies shows a connection in the present study.
The review focus on the Customer Satisfaction of Digital Printing Industry. Digital printing
methods have developed both in terms of quality and productivity. Digital methods have
also taken market share from mechanical printing methods in the on-demand and short-run
production of traditional products. Kariniemi & Nors, (2018).

resulting from the evaluation of services provided. While according to Minta, (2018)

competitors.
Ehsani (2015) emphasizes that "quality of service is the customer's perception of the
overall quality or superiority of the product or service, with respect to its intended purpose,
relative to alternatives. According to Isaza (2015), Capacity as an emergent quality of a
combination of attributes, capabilities and relationships, that enables a system to perform to
their full potential. Kotler and Armstrong (2016) the price/sum of the values that customers
exchange for the benefits of having or using a product or service. According to Omar,
Saadan and Seman (2015), Reliability is one of the most important factors in determining
customer satisfaction and suggested that the key attributes of reliability include accurate
delivery, being truthful, keeping the promise, accurate order and availability. Ngaliman
(2019), explain that responsiveness is the initial part that needs to be managed to get
satisfaction, this encourages employees of an organizational organization who are able to
serve customers. According to Alabboodi (2019), that the assurance depends on whether
fulfilled customers' needs by giving quality services which is a definitive goal of every firm
that matches with the customer needs.
From the review of the related literature and studies, the following gaps were
determined:

management. They selected business leaders based on their involvement in devising and
implementing strategies for successful customer satisfaction, customer retention, and

Project Speed Decals main challenges encountered were the limited time of
operation due to the pandemic only the essential goods and services are allowed to operate.
Increase of the business expenses due to some raw materials due to some delays of delivery
and restrictions were made by the Government that leads to increase in pricing of the
services being offered. Meeting the deadlines on time because of the days and months that
the business is non-operational, loads of works has been on hold. Limited manpower is also
the challenges they are facing so that machines are limited.
