Choices in printing
by Florie Lyn Masarate
The quality of digital prints is continuously
improving with the improvement of technology. With
these advancements, it is now much easier for people
to get their printing job done. No more qualms on
the kind of result that they are getting.
This is maybe the same reason why many businesses
are entering the printing industry. Besides, this is
the printing age. Everything that can be written can
be printed also. Why not make the most of what
technology has to offer and choose the kind of
printing you want?
For the people who want to get the best possible
image at all times, it is important to evaluate what
kind of printing process to use that will eventually
bring the best results.
Let us take a look at two kinds of printing
processes:
Digital Printing. If you want a sample of what
digital printing looks like, just take a look at the
pieces that you print out from your inkjet printer,
at home or in the office. Digital printing uses a
series of dots printed on top of the paper that
forms the image.
Digital printing is used most often by those who
want to print large quantities in little time. But
of course, the printed output should adhere to the
quality requirements of the people printing them.
Offset Printing. Offset printing is done on large
presses that use plates and inks. As the piece is
printed on an offset press, the ink blends with the
paper and bonds with it.
Because of the plates used and the way the ink is
absorbed by the paper, most people think that offset
provides richer and fuller color saturation than
digital printing.
These two kind of printing processes have their own
advantages and disadvantages. Some people may think
that offset is better than digital printing or vise
versa.
Even though digital printings have improved a lot
over the years, most printing experts still prefer
offset printing. It seems that the quality inherent
in digital printing still have not reached the
quality level of offset printing.
It all boils down on the printing needs of the
people. It all depends upon how they make use of the
process to bring better results for them.
Try to compare the kind of prints made from digital
and offset printing. Then decide which type suits
you best.
At least you have options to choose from. Better
than nothing at all.
