Digital Printing
Digital Printing:
Digital printing doesn’t require the use of printing plates. By connecting specially designed printing machines, computers can print images directly onto the chosen media material. There are no stages between the finished digital image and the printing process, making it much quicker and easier than traditional printing methods.
How it works:
- The image is created in CMYK
- The image files are formatted to the correct file type for the machines used and sent directly to the print head. High-quality file formats are used to keep the image crisp and clear.
What it’s used for:
- Flexible printing on-demand
- Lower quantities (lowering the cost of handling / storage)
- Can be done quickly
- Useful when design needs change rapidly
Advantages:
- Cost-effectiveness for short print runs
- Fast printing (less processes)
- Minimum quantities as low as a single copy
- Customizability
- Environmentally friendly water-based inks
