Digital printing is the modern version of printing technique, invented in 1993. when Indigo launched E-Print 1000, the first digital-offset press.
The process of digital printing begins when the image is sent to printer machine via digital files (such as PDF, PSD, TIFF, etc.) Unlike traditional printing method, digital printing does not require production of printing plates – instead, the digital files, uploaded to the press, are directly transferred onto substrate (paper sheet, fabric, cardstock and other material).
One of the most common questions when it comes to printing services considers the Digital VS Offset dilemma. So, which one is better – digital or the offset printing? There is no universal answer as it depends on the type of your project. While the offset printing is better suited for high-volume orders, digital printing is better suited for the short run. It’s all about cutting costs! When it comes to digital printing, the price per piece is lower for the small amount of copies, but with offset printing, you’ll get the better offer for bulk orders.
