Digital printing is developing rapidly but there are still four major misunderstandings

Myth 1: The digital printing machine is a simple digitization process. Since the digital printing process is printed directly from the computer or printed on paper Computer-to-Paper, it is required that the digital printing machine should have the automation of the entire process of imposition, correction, and binding. Features. Therefore, the software function of the system is very important.

Misunderstanding 2: Although the printing quality of digital printers is different due to the different mechanical structure and the use of consumables, the quality of digital printing is currently not completely in line with traditional printing, but overall, with the continuous improvement of imaging systems, imaging accuracy and With the improvement of output resolution and enhancement of media latitude, the digital printers introduced by various manufacturers have been able to meet the needs of high-end printing, and are still developing towards higher quality. In particular, there are more and more multi-color digital printing systems, which can be four-color or even six-color at the same time, and spot color printing can also be satisfied.

Misunderstanding 3: Costs are high, and costs usually consist of three elements: depreciation, materials, and labor. However, the high degree of automation of digital systems will reduce labor costs to a certain extent; depreciation of equipment is determined by the investment when purchasing equipment; material cost, taking toner media as an example, most current digital machines are toner Separate, and the life of most equipment drums are more than hundreds of thousands of sheets, the price of powder should be gradually reduced with the expansion of application; compared with traditional offset printing, digital printing does not require plate making, so plate making costs will be saved. It is worth mentioning that with the increase of users and the maturity of technology, the overall price level of digital printing machines has declined. This also allows the cost of digital printing to be controlled, prompting more customers to accept digital printing.

Myth # 4: The product cannot be kept for a long time. First of all, you can experiment by yourself to see the difference in the storage time of the digital printing press. Put the prints printed with traditional ink, electronic ink, and toner in the sun. After a few days, you will find that the prints printed by digital printers have better color durability than traditional inks.

Secondly, many people think that the prints of digital printers like traditional laser printers and photocopiers cannot be preserved for a long time. The actual situation is not the case. Taking dry toner as an example, as the high-resolution printing of digital printers continues to improve, the toners used in current digital printers are finer than those used in traditional copiers and laser printers, and melt at high temperatures In the process, toner can dissolve in the gaps of paper like ink droplets.
