Digital Printing

Digital printing is fast, accurate, high quality, well-priced, efficient, and provides a good return on investment, among other benefits. It’s the best printing method for short runs, print-on-demand pieces, or data-driven projects. Our digital printing services are completed at our in-house production facility, where we leverage industry-leading technologies and 35+ years of problem-solving expertise. With our on-budget and on-time philosophy, our capabilities meet the highest level of performance, efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.

What is digital printing?

CMYK strip

Unlike offset printing, digital printing does not rely on metal plates to transfer an image onto a surface. Instead, a professional digital press operates like a stronger, faster, and technologically advanced version of the laser or inkjet printer you use at home or work. A digital printer uses toner to transfer digital files like a PDF or desktop publishing file directly onto paper or another flexible or rigid substrate. With our highly experienced operators at the helm, our digital printing service produces excellent quality prints using state-of-the-art equipment.

Digital printing applications

Benefits of digital printing

CMYK strip

Digital printing is an ideal printing solution for companies that want high-quality print communications, but don’t have a large order volume or need to personalize the materials for your customers. Enjoy these and other advantages of choosing our on-time and on-budget digital printing services:

  • Convenient – Use our customer portal to enjoy on-demand web-to-print services where you can upload a file and place an order in just a few minutes.
  • Speed and accuracy – Our commercial digital printing process is driven by high-end fiery raster image processors (RIP) for speed and quality control. And with minimal setup time, you can expect a relatively fast order turnaround.
  • Short-run-friendly – Because the setup and printing time is quick, digital printing is especially suited for short-run orders – you can order as few as one piece!
  • Cost-efficiency – With digital printing, there’s no need to order any more pieces than you need. You can print small runs and enjoy minimal setup costs, saving you money.
  • No more out-of-date prints – With smaller runs more accessible when you choose digital printing, you can order less and reduce the risk of having too much inventory of obsolete prints.
  • Flexible – Need to make a change to a file? Digital printing makes it easy with quick on-the-fly edits and error corrections.
  • Customizable – When you go digital, you can harness the power of Variable Data Printing (VDP) to print addresses and add other personalization enhancements to customize each piece, which can boost response rates.
  • Consistency – With digital printing, you can rest assured that the very last print that comes off the press will have the same quality and consistency as the first.

Digital printing vs. offset printing

CMYK strip

We offer both digital printing and offset printing services. Each method has unique advantages, and the best one for your company depends on the project specifications.

Digital printing uses a high-quality four-color printing process that may be better suited and more economical for smaller runs. It often has a faster set up and turnaround time than offset and performs well for print-on-demand or data-driven pieces.

Offset printing is better and more economical for larger runs. It offers exceptional printing quality and consistency and features a vast array of color and printing surfaces.

Whether you need digital or offset printing service, we have an experienced team and advanced equipment to tackle both types of print jobs. Refer to the table below or head to our blog to learn more about the difference between digital and offset printing service.
