Digital Printing
No plates. Electronic transfer. Cost-effective for short runs, personalization and fast proofs.
- No plate cost
- Short runs / personalization
- Fast proof and turnaround
Overview
Digital printing transfers ink or toner from file to substrate without plate setup. Short runs are economical; variable data, limited editions and quick samples shine. Gamut and Pantone matching depend on the press. Critical brand colors need a proof. Compatible with soft-touch and film finishes; at very high volumes offset becomes cheaper.
