What’s Digital Printing?
Digital inkjet printing is a technology that prints directly on objects through computer output. It is the process of applying pressure to the ink by a printer, spraying directly on the surface of the object through a nozzle to form a color point. It is more instant because the process does not need film output, color registration or screen drying.
Digital printing is often used for advertising, like outdoor banner and event signage at the point of sales. You can see that in food & beverage promotions, digital printing stickers are used as a branding tool on beverage coolers and ice cream freezers.
How Digital Printing Works?
What are the Advantages of Our Digital Printing for Your Display & Promotion?
Detailed Graphic Presentation
“Excellence is in the details. Give attention to the details and excellence will come.” Digital printing equipment can print up to 1200 DPI which can manage more detailed designs such as small touches or letters. If you want consumers to see sharper images of your food or beverage on the stickers with more clarity, digital printing is no doubt a better choice than traditional screen printing.
Lower Cost for Small Volume Printing
Although digital printing has a higher cost for a single page, it avoids any process of making stencils. So, it is more cost-effective if your order is a small volume like less than 300 pcs.
No Minimum Order Quantity Required
Suppliers usually require a minimum quantity for screen printing or offset printing to cover the cost of printing plates. You don ‘t have to concern about this problem when choosing digital printing, which is perfect for on-demand orders.
Flexible Data Revision
There’s no need for wasting time and money to make new printing plates or screens when changing the printing content. Sometimes you find a spelling or design error on a printed proof, you can modify the file immediately before the mass production.
