Whilst most modern printing methods utilise digital technology to some degree, the term digital printing specifically relates to digital printers that use either laser or inkjet technology. Digital printing is different from more traditional printing processes – such as litho printing – in that they do not use printing plates in the process. This significantly reduces the setup time for each individual job and therefore makes it a much more affordable option for smaller print runs. In addition to this, digital printers can also be extremely quick at printing the jobs themselves, making them ideal for work requiring a very quick turnaround.
Thanks to constant improvements in modern technology, digital printing equipment that is available is now capable of producing high-quality results and excellent levels of consistency between prints. Digital printing offers significant flexibility with regard to technological integration, and make it possible to perform advanced processes with ease – such as printing from a database and personalising mail, which can be useful in direct mailing. In addition to this, digital printers are also more eco-friendly than ever, offering better levels of power and toner efficiency, whilst reducing potential waste.
Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media. It usually refers to professional printing where small-run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large-format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers. Digital printing has a higher cost per page than more traditional offset printing methods, but this price is usually offset by avoiding the cost of all the technical steps required to make printing plates. It also allows for on-demand printing, short turnaround time, and even a modification of the image (variable data) used for each impression. The savings in labour and the ever-increasing capability of digital presses means that digital printing is reaching the point where it can match or supersede offset printing technology's ability to produce larger print runs of several thousand sheets at a low price.
