What is the difference between digital printing and traditional printing?

According to the process, printing is divided into two types:

1. Traditional printing

2. Digital printing

Traditional printing is divided into many branches, and its heat transfer (gravure printing) belongs to its small branch process.

Traditional thermal transfer printing is mainly used for fabric, chemical fiber and polyester. Disperse inks and thermal transfer inks are also used for printing. Transfer paper adopts Heidelberg, electro-engraving and other processes for high-temperature printing, which is suitable for printing with large amount of color registration and few colors.

Its advantages are bright colors, high speed and low cost.

Disadvantages: color matching is troublesome, and opening the board is troublesome.

Digital printing is a new printing technology. Using inkjet printer to realize printing technology is suitable for the needs of various industries, and can produce a large number of colors and achieve perfect gradient effect.

Digital printing is divided into several categories according to its fabrics and inks:

A. thermal transfer printing

B. Active direct injection

Direct injection of C acid

D. Direct spraying of paint

At present, the main digital printing process on the market belongs to thermal transfer printing, which is similar to gravure printing, mainly using printers for printing and transfer paper for high-temperature transfer printing.

Suitable for smallpox, polyester, chemical fiber, ribbon and other industries.
