Digital Printing is a fairly simple process to follow but there are a few tips that you can use to better understand this process and make sure that your digital prints are of the best quality possible. This process is quite different from lithography, letterpress or flexography and is easier on the pocket too.
Digital Printing
Digital Printing as said above is the process of reproduction of digital images on a physical surface. These physical surfaces include film, cloth, common paper, etc. The digital machine takes the digital images from the computer and prints them.
TIPS when following this process:
• If you are printing then you must always wear cotton gloves and make sure that the printing media is kept away from dust and don’t use oils or paints for this process.
• Printed copies should be laminated to protect them from the harmful UV rays and also the dust and pollution. You might require this for both indoor and outdoor functions.
• If the temperature of the print media and the laminate is same then the required minimum application is of +10C and incase of cold laminates the films on motor driven squeeze rolls will give the best results as compared to others.
• Make sure you give enough time for the prints to dry. This depends upon the media and also the environmental conditions. If they are not dry and you use them for any other process they will be of no use as the prints will surely spoil.
• For full protection and better efficiency it is advisable that you store the unprinted media in a plastic cover.
• It is very important that you choose the correct ink for the particular job. Many jobs require oil based heat inks or thermal resistant inks which will handle 400 Fahrenheit without bleeding or spreading.
• Designer; Make sure that the PDF file that you finalise is exactly as you want it. Yes the final print may have a little difference, but it is not something to worry about but being prepared for it will allow you to know what to expect. So make sure you proof the job well before. You can even ask to be present when the job is in process so that you can proof the final print on the spot.
• Choose the correct paper that you want. Some printing companies even allow you to use different papers for the same job but this can be a little expensive. If you are the printer then make sure that the client is happy with the paper choice.
• Designer; if you are setting the bleed margin in your design then let the printer know, so that he can make the necessary changes. If not then make sure that you speak with the printer and get the bleed margins set as some job require thicker margins than others.
