Digital
printing
Adapted from
Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_printing
Digital printing
is the reproduction of digital images on physical surface, such as
common or photographic paper, film, cloth, plastic, etc.
It can be
differentiated from litho printing in many ways, some of which are;
-
Every impression made onto the paper can be different, as opposed
to making several hundred or thousand impressions of the same
thing from one set of plates, as in traditional methods.
-
The Ink or Toner does not absorb into the paper, as does
conventional Ink, but forms a layer on the surface.
-
It generally requires less waste in terms of chemicals used and
paper wasted in set up.
-
It is excellent for rapid prototyping, or small print runs which
means that it is more accessible to a wider range of designers.
