Digital printing

Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIG : Digital printing

Digital printing is the reproduction of digital images on physical surface, such as common or photographic paper, film, cloth, plastic, etc.

Commercial Digital Printing

Since the early nineties, a growing sector of global print production has been Digital, as distinguished from Litho print. Digital Print is used by those requiring the following:

Short to medium run colour and mono work
Fast turnaround
Personalisation (As the image is reproduced each time, variations can be easily introduced)
Print on Demand (ie. with an automated ordering system)

The advantage over Litho for short run work is that no plates are needed therefore reducing the initial set-up costs substantially.
