Digital Printing Equipment

Color digital printing equipment has evolved to the point that the quality can be equal to and sometimes better than traditional offset printing. Digital printing presses afford better overall color control by giving the pressman control of not just color density but also dot gain. Digital printing presses also produce work with less color variance through out the run. Indigo digital printing uses real liquid ink, not toner like most other digital printing.

Digital Printing Papers

Digital printing can be done on a wide variety of paper stocks. Years ago the paper choices for digital printing was very limited and the paper had to be specially treated. Today Indigo digital printing can print on any paper with a low to no acid content. Thanks in part to the major paper companies making the transition to low acidic papers. They see the strong future for color digital printing.

What items are a good fit for digital printing?
Items such as Brochures, Catalogs, Postcards, Business Cards are but some examples. If your quantity is low to medium and you need it fast, then color digital printing is the solution. Variables such as quantity and finished size determine when digital printing makes sense.

Variable Data Digital Printing

Another benefit that color digital printing affords is the ability to run variable data work. This means that each sheet that comes out of the digital printing press can have different copy or images on it. The content that changes from card to card is up to you. The cost for Variable Data Digital Printing is not much more than producing a static color printing job. If you really want your next mailing or presentation to get noticed then variable data digital printing is just the ticket.

Why is digital printing faster than offset printing?
The Indigo digital printing press can print on both sides of the press sheet in one pass. The press sheets come out dry and ready to move on to the next step. This is a big advantage since traditional offset printing can sometimes take 24 hours before it can be handled.
