What is the difference between printing and printing?

The difference between printing and printing lies in their different technological processes and application scenarios.

Printing refers to a method of printing patterns and characters on the surface of paper, cloth and metal plate. This method is mainly to apply pigments such as ink, paint and powder on the printing plate, and then let the printing plate contact with the printing material and exert force for printing. In the process of printing, it is necessary to use a printing plate to write each page, and then overprint each color in the printing machine to produce high-quality finished products.

Printing refers to the use of computers or other digital devices to generate images or documents, and then output these images or documents to paper, plastic foil or other materials through a printer. It can be said that printing is a digital mode of production, which is faster and more convenient. Printing methods are also varied, such as traditional film photosensitive printing, inkjet printing, laser printing and so on.

In a word, printing focuses on manufacturing high-quality batch products, which is suitable for large-scale commercial operation; Printing pays more attention to production efficiency and production cost, which is suitable for flexible production with low cost and small batch operation requirements.
