What is Digital Printing

 Digital printing is a process that consists of direct printing of a

This graphic arts sector is experiencing great growth, which has led the different manufacturers and suppliers to launch digital equipment with increasing features, prepared to meet the new requirements imposed by the market.

Digital Printing Aspects

Digital printing has two aspects: the small and the large format. The first still suffers from a lack of certain reliability and has some shortcomings (among them, not having a 50 × 70 format). The large format, for its part, offers certain ecological and cost problems. This means that digital printing has to be further developed.

Advantages

Nowadays, digital printing with home or office equipment has forked its course as ink jet printers are being used in the textile industry, more precisely for sublimation of fabrics or various objects. Also some laser printers to stamp transfer on fabrics.


Regarding large format prints known as Gigantographies, today we can find printing equipment with latex inks that are less environmentally harmful than the previous ones with solvent inks

The second cylinder is made of a layer of rubber gum to accommodate the image to be printed on the paper. Finally, the last cylinder reproduces the printing with great precision and in high quality. The paper is thus pressed on the rubber cylinder to make the visual appear on the support. THE ADVANTAGES OF OFFSET PRINTING Offset printing is a...
