What is NFC Printing?
NFC Printing, which is short for Near Field Communication Printing, is a
short-range wireless technology that allows data to pass from one device to
another by simply touching them or holding them close together. The most common
application for NFC technology is contactless payment in bank cards, bus passes
and mobile phones.
How is NFC technology used in printing?
The latest smartphones and tablets have embraced NFC technology – and this
development has seen NFC Printing become much more popular, with many seeing it
as a quick, simple and fun way to connect from a physical piece of marketing
(such as a business card or point-of-sale) to a digital piece of marketing -
you can embed a link to a website, app, portfolio, event invite, customer
feedback form, music playlist, or your favourite cat video. If it has a URL,
you can link it.
