Advantages of digital printing and printing of instructions for use
Why is digital printing so popular? First, it is easy to prepare a ready-made design, for instance a leaflet, for printing. In most cases, the file prepared by a professional graphic designer is all that is needed to start production. Thus, you eliminate a complicated, time-consuming, and frequently expensive process of assembling the right tools which pay off only when the number of ordered copies is high. The print commonly referred to as “digital” is a perfect candidate when seeking prints, such as personalized invitations or business cards. Personalization and no matrices indispensable for starting printing are great advantages. However, there are a few more advantages of digital printing:
- No tools mean not only lower cost but also shorter lead time
- High quality and copy repeatability which is similar to offset printing
- High print speed which is second only to offset printing
- Flexible selection of paper weight depending on your needs
- The digital print file not only makes fast personalization without additional costs possible, but also allows changes to be made without the need to produce new matrices.
Therefore, digital printing seems to be a technology without disadvantages, which is not far from becoming a leading technique that will soon displace, for instance, the previously mentioned offset printing. But why is this not happening? Unfortunately, due to my professional duty, I have to say that there is a fly in the ointment and look at some of the noticeable drawbacks of this technique.
- Despite high print quality, it is inferior to offset printing, which is most noticeable during full color coverage of the sheet
- Digital printing pays off when there is one to several hundred copies per print run, for larger runs the cost per print remains the same regardless of the run
- Despite the flexibility in terms of weight, the format in most digital printers is limited to B3.
Offset printing when digital printing is not profitable anymore
What if our demand for a given workpiece is higher than the few hundred copies that are profitable in digital printing? The “older brother,” i.e., offset printing, comes to the rescue. This technology, commonly referred to as offset, has settled in for good. Despite the efforts of its competitors, it is still the undisputed champion of high print runs. The ideal solution appears to be a balance between different techniques to sensibly manage production costs, which in many cases depend on the print run.
