Overview
Digital printing is a straightforward process where ink is applied directly to the substrate, completely avoiding the use of printing plates. Utilizing the CMYK color process, digital printing relies on electronic files to determine ink placement, creating precise prints and designs. With technological advancements, digital printing offers high-quality output, making low volume runs more cost-effective and time-efficient.
Two technologies dominate the industry:
Inkjet
Images are printed by small droplets of ink released from the nozzles of one or more printer heads that use the CMYK color system. This method ensures precise color application and high-quality prints.
Xerography / laser printers
Images are printed using a metal cylinder known as a drum. Color is applied to the drum, which then transfers the images onto the substrate, ensuring precise and high-quality prints.
