Why we all love digital printing

Companies need high quality, cost-effective and fast response communication, both in house and to their customers, and digital printing provides a method of doing this efficiently and in an environmentally-friendly way.

There are many reasons why we all love digital printing for all small and large format solutions including:

COST SAVINGS
Digital printing enables companies to make financial savings due to the flexible nature of this method.

Traditional printing services rely on minimum orders or quotas, whereas digital printing companies are not restricted by these boundaries. This, in turn, provides a level of freedom for businesses and individuals to save money and get exactly the amount that they need.Additionally, this means less unwanted prints, fewer materials and a reduced environmental impact.

SUPER FAST TURNAROUND
Digital printing has a super fast response time when compared to traditional methods because of its minimal press set-up. This simplifies the print process, making traditional film and plates redundant, removing the need for press make-ready process, registration adjustments, plate mountings and ink keys. The fewer steps and people involved in the process, means a quicker delivery time, so even same day deadlines are now possible to meet!

SHORT RUNS
Digital printing offers customers an ideal method for producing short and medium-sized runs. As digital data can be easily stored and edited, it is simple to make any necessary changes before printing or in subsequent batches. Print management is also more effective when using digital printing as there is no need to produce bulk stock or get rid of out of date stock.

The short runs offered by digital printing mean that customers can tailor a specific message to a target audience. This makes sense in terms of both finance and time.

Customers can produce exactly what they need, when they need it and target a message to who they need to engage allowing the printer to get the right message, at the right time, to the right audience and thus, target a great deal more effectively.

AMAZING QUALITY
Digital printing offers a superfast solution, but don’t think that that means compromising quality.The latest digital presses include many hi -tech features that ensure consistently supreme image quality and enhanced colour matchingas standard.

AN ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION
Digital printing can boost the green credentials of any business, as the advantages above clearly indicate.It also removes the need for a lot of potentially damaging substances and parts when compared with traditional print methods including: plate making equipment, plate materials, chemicals, solvents or energy-hungry ultraviolet curing systems.

LESS WASTE
Because digital printing allows consumers to print on demand and to exact quantities, waste is minimised. Also, waste due to an incorrect press set-up, or colour variations between prints, is also avoided. Additionally, traditional printing methods require discarding printing tools and hundreds of metres of waste during SKU changeovers, whereas digital printing only generates a few metres of such scrap. Less waste is, obviously, a great boost for the environment.

ECO-FRIENDLY TECH
Inventory reduction of obsolescent stock and remnant materials is one of the greatest advantages for the environment as it reduces the amount of printing components that end up in landfill or being incinerated.

Many digital printers use eco-certified substrates as well as environmentally-friendly adhesives, primers and varnishes. They also offer slimmer constructions, reducing the quantities of material used.

Finally, digital printing's on-demand ability to eliminate redundant prints, combined with short print runs that incorporate printing closer to the point of end use, help to cut the carbon footprint of print transportation
