In digital printing, an image is sent directly from a computer to the printer using a digital file, which is made up of a matrix of dots called pixels.
The digitised picture is then used to control the layering of ink and toner to produce the image.
The easy creation of an image onto a print material without the need for a printing plate, which is used in offset printing, can save money and time. Instead of having to print large runs, requests can be made for as little as one print.
