Guidelines to help you make decisions between Digital Printing and Press Printing

When you reached the step of printing your brand identity materials, you are basically facing with one overall question to contemplate-whether to print the material on a digital printer, or traditional printing press. So we’ve created guidelines for to follow and help make your resolutions muck easier.

Digital Printing:
Digital printing is less expensive-often half the price of press printing. It can produce a wide range of different color results, causing you not to be certain what you’ll get. It also has limitations with the brightness and saturations.
Limited paper choice and limited finishing touches are another two features of Digital printing. It also proposes limited choice of materials, sizes, styles, and formats. If you wish to create innovative marketing materials, such as brochure business style that we create at elf design then digital printing is not the right choice for this. Also keep in mind that the largest paper size they can accommodate is 11”x17”.
You get much faster service by selecting digital printing. Sometimes offers even include same day service.

Press Printing:
Press printing is more costly-usually double the price than digital printing mainly due to set up costs. There are also more overruns from traditional printing, since you can’t program in a specific number of pages to be printed as you can with a digital printer.
Press printing provides super color accuracy as well as bright colors. So if these are important to you, press printing may be the right step. In press printing, many types of paper are available; moreover, it also supplies a wide range of thicknesses and textures to choose from, including specialty papers such as vellum and metallic papers. Traditionally, press printing can accommodate for your convenience, a wide range of paper sizes and can result innovative and creative finished projects. After thoughtfully reading this guide, we believe that you will understand the pros and cons and be able to decide which to choose to produce your material.
Good Luck!
