Digital Printing Has Started Taking The World By Storm

By Timothy Walker


Although you can execute your own prints by using your desktop printer, if you need larger amounts and better quality, you could benefit from seeking out an expert in digital printing in Syracuse, NY. You'll need to provide this expert with the media in a digital file. Some companies will even help you with the design which requires printing. Apart from laser and inkjet printing, there are four other types of prints you can do: dye sublimation, solid ink, thermal autochrome and thermal wax. Laser printing uses dry toner and inkjet printers use water-based ink.

Clothes maketh the man: A nice idea is to have customized clothing for employees. You can brand t-shirts, overalls, and button-up shirts with your company logo. The process for this digital garment processing method begins with you supplying the printer with the file containing the image that you would like to have printed onto the item of clothing.

One of the important checks that they will make will be the resulting color compared to the requested color (remember that digital doesn't have the same variety as a screen job would). Once everything has been checked and finalized, the file is sent through to the garment printer. In the meantime, the clothing itself needs to be prepared.

If you're working to a budget, doing it digitally is your best option. The offset procedure needs to use plates and is therefore more expensive than the toner or liquid ink versions of the very same process. Additionally, if you need individualized jobs done (like codes or names and addresses) it would cost less to have these printed digitally as offsetting would need multiple plates to achieve the same effect.

If you're looking for lots of detail, going it digitally is the ideal way to go. To get the high level of detail, ink will be applied thinner than that applied during screen job executions. The screen print process uses stencils and the ink is applied in separate layers with a new stencil for each color. It is also interesting to note that only four colors are used in the process! Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black can be combined to make any color you need.

When time is of the essence, this procedure beats the offset model hands down! There is less setup and maintenance needed with this approach and the method of offsetting has the added cost of the plates. Doing it digitally has another extremely handy benefit: it's far easier to create a sample of the finished product before running the whole batch - if errors are found, these can easily be corrected before continuing.

If you're going to be using a custom font and you're not embedding this into the PDF file, you should make sure that you provide the printer with this font. You should also make sure that you supply the printer with all the necessary graphics needed. A number of companies are happy to receive these files by email, size permitting.

Go big or go home: if your advertising budget pockets are fairly deep, wouldn't it be great to print something huge with your company name on it? Your options could range from wall printing (like wallpaper) to Courtwrap (for the floors) or perhaps a billboard or even a building wrap! Whatever you decide, don't delay - get looking for digital job executions in Syracuse, NY today!
