Ever wondered what the difference is between digital printing and litho printing? Digital printing is the reproduction of digital images on physical surfaces like photographic paper, film, cloth, plastic, etc. With digital printing every impression made onto the paper can be different, as opposed to making several hundred or thousand impressions of the same thing from one set of plates, as in traditional methods. But books printed on an offset press are usually better in quality than the same book printed on a digital machine like a high speed Xerox Docutech.
The Ink or Toner used in digital printing does not absorb into the paper, as does conventional Ink, but forms a layer on the surface. But the extreme heat used by the digital machines extract moisture from the paper, resulting in a slight curl to the sheet but this usually subsides after storing it for a while. It is excellent for rapid prototyping, or small print runs which means that it is more accessible to a wider range of designers. Offset printing provides higher resolution and better photo reproduction but digital printing generally requires less waste in terms of chemicals used and paper wasted in set up.
