What Is Digital Printing?

08.11.2019

Digital printing is the process of making prints from an electronic file. The artwork is created on a computer and directly printed onto the material. In fact, digital printing is an alternative to traditional printing methods such as flexography, lithography, offset printing, letterpress, gravure, and others. 

 

Digital printing is convenient and highly effective compared to traditional methods and comes with numerous benefits. That is why the process is so popular in this day and age.

 

How Does Digital Printing Work?

The image needed for printing is directly sent to the printer through a digital file such as PDF, TIFF, and many other formats. The process is ideal for printing that requires smaller quantities with high amounts of detail. The process doesn’t include prepress stages between the document file and the final product – prepress stages are mandatory in most of the other traditional printing methods out there. Here are the most important stages of digital printing. In fact, your print will come out perfectly when you follow these steps in digital printing.

 

The first step is to prepare a clean, sharp image with a high resolution for printing purposes.

Crop marks and bleeds are added as per the requirement of the printing order. Crop marks are the lines on the corner of the print. Once the bleed is trimmed, crop marks will ensure that there are no unprinted edges in the final trimmed document.

The next step is imposition 

This ensures the maximum area of the paper is used for the print. This will help make the print job efficient and cut down on paper waste.

The electronic image file should be converted into a GIF, TIFF, JPEG, or BMP file

Before being sent to the printer, the files need to be formatted properly. On the other hand, PDF files are also used for printing purposes depending on the software that you use.

 

Why You Should Opt For Digital Printing?

Digital printing is the latest method of printing out there. In fact, it is the most popular method for printing small quantities of print due to the many advantages of this method. It provides more flexibility, choices, and features compared to most of the conventional printing methods out there. Your printing order will be accurate and up to date when you use a method such as digital printing.

 

Benefits Of Digital Printing

One of the most important benefits of digital printing is the high-quality finish. In fact, technology has come a long way which means you get great quality for your money even if you only have small print runs. In fact, the process is more effective for medium and shorter print runs. You can print what you want when you need it thanks to digital printing. The quick turnaround time is the most important advantage of this method.
