Advantages: High image quality. Works on a wide range of printing surfaces including paper, wood, cloth, metal, leather, rough paper and plastic. The unit cost goes down as the quantity goes up. Quality and cost-effectiveness in high volume jobs.
While today’s digital presses are close to the cost/benefit ratio of offset for high quality work, they are not yet able to compete with the volume an offset press can produce.
Full Lithography: Digital Printing tends to suit shorter print runs, whilst Litho Printing is more for longer runs. Digital printing involves printing a complete copy of a file at a time, whilst its lithographic counterpart produces each required number of copies from a page separately, before the pages are collated together. Litho printing requires a plate, whereas Digital prints go directly from file to machine, so each copy is printed and collated at once.
