DIGITAL PRINTING. PRINTING ON DEMAND.
From pixels to paper, digital print is a cost effective, quick turn-around printing and customisation process for short run work. We produce professional high quality digital printing using the HP Indigo digital press.
While lithographic printing is commercially economic for print runs from around 1,000 copies, digital printing comes into its own for anything from a fifty copy upwards, whether in full colour or black and white.
As digital is a print on demand process, short runs means that fewer copies need to be stored, reducing costs and keeping wastage to a minimum.
MIX AND MATCH? NOW YOU CAN
So, digital offers marketers a means of reaching customers and prospects with highly targeted personalised communications. Digital print is used to do other things too, including:
- Personalise coupons and other special offers inside catalogues – digitally prepared coupons from sophisticated database mining that tailors each coupon to its individual recipient’s preferences.
- Regulatory information, proxy documents and IPO (initial public offering) booklets produced and bound to respond to tight deadlines and limited quantity requirements.
- Personalised colour documents used by financial services, sales professionals and marketing departments.
- Covers of presentation boxes, point of sale material and photo books.
- Leaflets & Flyers, instruction manuals, price lists, catalogues and stationery.
- Fine art – archival digital printing on to photo, watercolour or other special papers using special pigment based inks.

ONE LITTLE SECRET
Not many people outside the print trade know this, but every sheet printed digitally is unique – not that you can tell if you put them side by side.
This is because unlike litho which uses metal printing plates for each colour, digital uses software to render complete digital images directly on to the press. It’s called variable data printing – which also makes it an environmentally friendly process. You can compare both printing processes here
The big benefit of using digital printing services is that if you want to, you can personalise every sheet with, for instance, your prospect’s name, an image or a special message that is unique to them.
The same applies to invitations, newsletters, product catalogues and price lists – any changes can be swiftly incorporated in the next printing ensuring a target message is delivered to your recipient.
