When you read the glossies have you ever wondered how these real-life effects are produced? It is the result of technology, digital printing to be precise. Digital printing is a process which uses electronic files to create prints with laser or inkjet printers.
Digital printing is the new-generation process which requires a minimal press setup. The print proofing, processes, and so on are cost-effective, and you can even do “short runs” or small print orders. Digital printing has many advantages. It produces less waste, uses fewer hazardous chemicals, and is comparatively environmentally friendly.
By using digital printing you have no limits –your document can have paper-thin images or huge panoramas, with sophisticated color reproduction and clarity. The printing industry has adopted digital printing in order to keep up with developments where designers, artists, architects, and draftsmen are all creating and reproducing their work digitally. Page compositions, type setting, and graphic design are all executed using digital technology. Digital files are easy to transmit, and files can be sent electronically to any digital printer at any corner of the world within seconds.
Digital printing opens up many new vistas. It is used for printing textiles, signage, photographic images, portraits and other paintings on canvas, brochures, letterheads, envelopes, flyer, annual reports, business documents, creation of pop art, and the reproduction of images on transparent films.
One must maximize digital printing effects by creating a perfect design. Remember: what you see on the computer screen is what you will get when printed. Choose a paper taking into consideration its weight, absorbent surface, opacity, graininess, and color. Choose the right kind of font, and think about aspects like the size and color of the font versus the color of the background. Consider carefully the overall balance in the layout of the page, use of margins and spaces, and other aspects that go into the creation of a professional and perfect design.
Digital gives the same result as offset printing, at a lower cost. The turnaround time is quick and one can print any number of copies.
