How to define the difference between digital printing machine and traditional printing machine? Short Answer Questions

Difference between Digital Printing and Traditional Printing

(1) Convenient and quick:

Digital printing has an absolute advantage in a small amount of printing and urgent work because it omits complex processes such as film, imposition and printing. All electronic documents generated by typesetting, design software and office application software can be directly output to the digital printing machine.

(2) Flexible and efficient:

The overall digitalization of digital printing can provide a more flexible printing method, that is, printing while changing and printing while changing, so as to realize zero inventory in the true sense. This flexible and fast printing method enhances the advantage of customers in the competitive environment.

(3) No printing operation:

Because the working principle of digital printing is different from traditional printing, there is no concept of "starting quantity". Digital printing can completely meet the ideal requirements of initial printing and vertical printing.

For the printing quantity of 500 copies, my personal opinion is that digital printing is more suitable. Because it can be produced according to the order quantity, and even if someone misses the subscription work, they can solve or organize the second batch of printing by themselves, and the cost is very low.

In addition, they all support thick paper printing, even if you want to make a strong front and back cover.

Advantages of digital printing market:

1, printing on demand market:

POD means printing on demand, which is called "Print on-Demand" in English. Publications that are frequently revised and need to be updated, such as user manuals, documents and policy manuals, can be easily completed through this system. And it is especially suitable for publications with many printed pictures, such as scientific and technological publications including charts, photos, software and screen display.

2. Variable data input printing

In digital printing, the image or text on each page can change continuously in one printing, which is called personal printing. This demand cannot be solved by traditional printing.

3. Distribution and printing

Digital printing technology ensures that the reprinted printed matter has the same effect as the first edition, so there is no reason to require an official document to be printed at the same time and place. Every company wants to minimize the cost of storage and transportation. For example, a company can make a new product catalog at its headquarters and then send the document to its branches all over the country for local printing.
