DIGITIZING PRINT

Digital printing is the reproduction of digital images on a physical surface. It is generally used for short print runs, and for the customization of print media. The process differs from lithography, flexography, gravure, and letterpress printing in several ways:

* Every print can be different, because printing plates are not required, as in traditional methods.
* There is less wasted chemical and paper, because there is no need to bring the image "up to colour" and check for registration and position.
* The ink or toner does not permeate the substrate, as does conventional ink, but forms a thin layer on the surface and may in some systems be additionally adhered to the substrate by using a fuser fluid with heat process (toner) or UV curing process (ink).
