DIGITAL PRINTING

Embracing the digital evolution

What is DIGITAL PRINTING?

Digital Printing refers to the methods of printing from a digital-based image directly onto a variety of media (e.g. paper). It usually refers to professional printing where small runs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers.

DIGITAL PRINTING

Benefits
of Digital Printing

It allows on-demand printing, short turnaround (quicker and less expensive) and variable data printing.
Despite having a higher cost per printed page than more traditional offset printing methods, it saves costs by avoiding the need for printing plates, thus becoming especially competitive in small-run jobs.
The increased technological capabilities of digital presses also means savings in labour and cost-efficient larger print runs.

OVERVIEW OF FEATURES

BEST PERFORMANCE

Ideal thickness-stiffness ratio To reduce printing waste such as paper jams, misfeeds and multi-sheet feeding.
Controlled humidity values To provide good post-printing flatness.
Optimised stiffness Suited to both frontal and lateral machine feeding and to minimise post-printing curl.
Minimal dust levels To avoid wear on machine parts and subsequent runnability issues.
Good cutting quality For stable, trouble-free larger print runs.
Engineered smoothness To minimise runnability issues, as well as providing a high-quality tactile sensation.

SUPERIOR PRINTING QUALITY

Even sheet formation and porosity To guarantee uniform ink/toner application onto the paper surface.
High whiteness To increase printing contrast.
Excellent opacity To avoid show-through and print-through in duplex printing applications.
Specially treated surface To ensure adequate ink-paper interaction and better toner adhesion.
