Digital printing, also known as digital offset printing, refers to printing technologies that are commonly non-impact printing where an electronic output device controls the direct application of ink to paper or other print medium. Key advantages of digital printing over traditional printing methods are on-demand printing, variable information, low minimum order quantities, and automated printing processes. Digital printing allows designers to produce short print runs economically and adapt printing processes quickly based on customer needs. This technology has significantly high adoption across various industries like advertising, packaging & labeling, photography, textile printing, and commercial printing.
