Whats your opinion on the pros and cons of each. Hydro printing is new and cool but it is very labor intensive and seems expensive?

RE: In mold decoration versus hydroprinting?
The down side for me was the need for a clear overcoat of paint. I was trying to find a replacement for paint. Also you can not do registered graphics with it only patterns. However, it does things like woodgrains and camo very well. It can be cheap (cell phone cases, auto parts). Mass production is done with automation like any decorating process.
In mold decoration is also expensive. There are variations like in mold label that are cheaper but lower performance.
