Digital Printing

Digital printing is a modern printing method that uses digital files to produce prints on various materials such as paper, fabric, plastic, and more. Unlike traditional printing methods, digital printing does not require printing plates or cylinders to transfer the image onto the material. Instead, digital files are sent directly to the printer, which prints the image using inkjet or laser technology.

​

The process of digital printing involves the following steps:

• Creation of digital file: The first step in digital printing is the creation of a digital file that contains the image or design to be printed.

• Preparation of printer: The printer is then prepared by loading the appropriate ink cartridges, adjusting the print settings, and selecting the correct paper or material.

• Printing: The digital file is sent to the printer, which then prints the image onto the selected material.

• Finishing: Once the printing is complete, the material may undergo additional finishing processes such as cutting, binding, or laminating.

​

Benefits of digital printing include:

• High quality: Digital printing produces high-quality prints with sharp images and vibrant colours.

• Cost-effective: Since digital printing does not require printing plates or cylinders, it can be more cost-effective for small print runs.

• Quick turnaround: Digital printing allows for quick turnaround times, with prints produced in a matter of hours or days.

• Customisation: Digital printing allows for customisation of each print, making it ideal for personalised or variable data printing.

• Eco-friendly: Digital printing is considered more eco-friendly than traditional printing methods as it produces less waste and uses fewer chemicals.
