Digital Printing: Modern Printing Technology

What is Digital Printing?

Digital printing is a modern technique that allows creating prints directly on surfaces from digital data. This solution is fast, simple, and cost-effective.
Where is digital printing used, and why should you consider this option?

How Does Digital Printing Work?

Digital printing involves delivering project materials to the device in the form of digital data. The image is created directly in the machine at the moment the printing begins. In some cases, it is also possible to remove, add, or modify data for each subsequent print. For example, when scaling graphics printed on t-shirts of various sizes, the print maintains the same proportional size relative to the t-shirt size.
The quality of printing depends on three main factors: the type of printing, the devices used, and the applied inks.

Types of Digital Printing

The most popular methods of digital printing include:

·         - Laser Printing: Uses a laser beam to illuminate an electrostatically charged cylinder, allowing toner to transfer to the surface and bond with heat.

·         - Inkjet Printing: Applies ink to the surface using nozzles controlled by electrical impulses.

·         - Thermal Transfer Printing: Printing is done on a foil that is heat-transferred onto the surface.

·         - Sublimation: Uses dyes that penetrate the material's fibers under heat, creating a durable print.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Digital Printing

Advantages:

·         - Immediate processing of the project after transferring digital data.

·         - Ability to modify, add, or delete data.

·         - Fast printing speed and process repeatability.

·         - Flexibility in printing on various surfaces.

·         - Cost-effectiveness for small batches.

Disadvantages:

·         - Lower quality compared to offset printing.

·         - Limited formats (max. B3).

·         - For larger batches, digital printing is less cost-effective.

Applications of Digital Printing

Digital printing is an ideal choice for projects where high quality is expected, but due to small quantities, offset printing would be inefficient. It is used for business cards, posters, invitations, large-format prints, and personalized products.
