Digital Printing

What is Digital Printing?

Digital printing is a technique that produces prints directly from a computer file rather than a slide or a photograph, without going through some intermediate medium such as a film negative, colour proof or plate. The benefits of digital printing include faster turnaround times, lower production costs and the ability to customise documents. The printed information is encoded in discrete, digital dots at various resolutions thus providing versatility and enabling scanning into storage and manipulation of data.

Main advantages of Digital Printing

Digital printing has many advantages, the main ones being faster turnaround and lower production cost so it is frequently used for on-demand or short-run colour printing. It is very cost-effective on short print runs owing to the low set up costs and the fact that there are no minimum volume restrictions. Other advantages include:

• Suitable for printing materials for interior or outdoor use
• Printing can be done on many different substrates
• Waterproof and fade resistant inks can be used
• Any size can be printed including large format and extra wide format

Substrates for Digital Printing

Digital printing produces very high definition images on a wide range of materials of different thicknesses, weights and finishes including photo paper, vinyl, film, mesh, canvas, and various textiles. Digital flatbed printers can also print directly onto most flat surfaced rigid or flexible substrates including: PVC Foamex, ACM (aluminium composite material), acrylic, corrugated board, polycarbonate, polyboard and card.N This website highlights the projects we have done and the wide range of digital printing services we offer.
