What is the difference between digital and conventional or offset printing?
|
|
| |
Digital: printing in which an image is applied to paper or another substrate directly from a digital file rather than using film and/or plates. The benefits of digital printing include: faster turnaround times, lowered production costs, and the ability to personalize documents. It is frequently used for on-demand or short-run color printing.
Conventional or Offset: A widely used printing technique where the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate first to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (Plano graphic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a film of water, keeping the nonprinting areas ink-free. The benefits of offset printing include consistent high image quality and usability on a wide range of printing surfaces in addition to smooth paper (e.g., wood, cloth, metal, leather, rough paper)
