In the past, printing a document such as an invitation or business card was a long and complicated process. After creating a template, you would have to take the document to a professional printing service, where it was reformatted and films were made to create the desired copies. The entire process took several days and was often very costly. Luckily, the development of digital printing has helped streamline this process, making it more affordable and efficient.

To better understand how digital printing works, continue reading as Bestype Imaging, a printing service based in New York City, explains how this type of printing is done and the benefits of using this format.

A Guide to Digital Printing

How it Works

With digital printing, a template for your job is created using a PDF or PSP file format. In this template, you can set the font, design, color, and details of your document. Once the template is complete, the file is then converted to a JPEG, GIF, or BMP format, although some printing services allow you to use the PDF format.

Because of the digital format, you can typically send your template electronically to the printing company of your choice, or bring a flash drive with the document to the print shop. There, a high-resolution format of the file is created with the order’s size requirements. For documents like brochures or business cards, this may mean scaling the image down while still retaining the original details. Once the image has been scaled, it is imposed onto the paper to ensure minimal paper waste.

Why Use It

Digital printing is ideal for creating high-resolution images in small or medium scales, such as those needed for invitations, business cards, or brochure printing. It’s also a great option for those looking to save money and the environment because of its low cost and minimal waste. This method also allows for same-day printing, and because of the digital template, small changes can easily be made to the document as needed.
