What is Digital Printing?

Digital printing simply means printing done from a computer to a printer. When you print this page to your inkjet or laser printer it is digital printing. Obviously the printing equipment we have is a lot bigger, a lot faster and a zillion times more expensive than the one you have in your home or office, but they work in pretty much the same way.

Advantages of Digital Printing

There are many advantages of digital printing as opposed to offset printing. Here are the main ones:
​

• Fast turnaround time
• Less expensive for small quantities
• No expensive plates
• No additional cost for extra colours
• Possible to print different information on each print (this is called variable data)

​Have you been told that digital printing doesn't have the same quality as offset printing? This was certainly the case a few years ago, but is very rarely an issue now.

Disadvantages of Digital Printing

Digital printing is still a relatively new technology and can sometimes have some limitations such as:
​

• Colour consistency when printing large solid areas
• Problems printing on paper or card that is not reasonably smooth
• Digital printing is not economical for printing very large quantities
