Substrate
Film, paperboard and coated paper behave differently under ink, cure and web tension. Qualification starts here.
Use the matrix as a first pass only. Final configuration still depends on substrate qualification, finishing path, plant utilities and the color tolerance your customer actually enforces.

Short-run SKU migration favors digital; stable long-run work may still belong on analog assets.
Brand-color tolerances define whether Orange/Violet channels and inline measurement are required.
Die-cut, lamination, varnish and bindery flow can set the real ceiling before print speed does.
Send one SKU file, a substrate description and annual volume. SCREEN will point to the platform family worth deeper testing.
