Unlock the Benefits of Digital Printing vs Standard Production

Digital printing and standard production have long been the two primary printing methods in the industry. While both methods have their pros and cons, businesses must choose the right printing method based on their unique needs and budget.

 

Let's dive into the differences between digital print and standard production.

 

Digital Printing

Digital printing, as the name suggests, involves printing an image directly onto paper or other media from a digital file. Digital printing uses toners, inkjets, and lasers to transfer the image onto the media.

The primary benefit of digital printing is that it's ideal for short print runs. Unlike standard production, which has a much higher minimum print quantity, digital printing allows you to print a small quantity of prints cost-effectively. This makes digital printing ideal for small businesses, startups, and companies that need to print a small number of items for a one-time event.

Another advantage of digital printing is that it allows you to print on demand. You don't have to print a large quantity of items in advance and store them until you need them. Instead, you can print a small batch of items whenever you need them, which saves you money on storage and waste.

Additionally, digital printing allows you to personalize your prints. You can print different names, addresses, or images on each print without the need for plates or other expensive printing equipment.

Standard Production

Standard production, also known as offset printing, involves the creation of printing plates that are used to transfer the image onto the printing surface. Standard production is ideal for large print runs, typically over 500 units.

One of the main advantages of standard production is that it produces high-quality prints. The prints produced by standard production are sharp, vibrant, and long-lasting. This is because standard production uses a much wider range of ink and color options than digital printing.

Another benefit of standard production is that it's cost-effective for large print runs. The more you print, the lower the cost per unit, making it the ideal choice for businesses that need to print a large quantity of items on a regular basis.

Standard production also allows for a wider range of materials to be printed on. It can print on a wide variety of media, including glossy paper, vinyl, and cardstock, among others.

Which One to Choose?

Choosing between digital printing and standard production depends on several factors, including the number of prints required, budget, time, and quality requirements.

If you need a small number of prints and require personalized prints, digital printing is the best choice. It's also ideal if you want to print on demand, reducing the need for storage and waste.

If you need a large number of prints, standard production is the way to go. It's more cost-effective for large print runs, and it produces high-quality prints.

Both digital printing and standard production have their advantages and disadvantages. The choice of printing method will depend on your unique needs and budget. Consider your requirements before making a decision, and don't hesitate to consult with a printing professional to help you make an informed decision.
