Types of Printing Techniques
There are two main printing technique categories: traditional techniques which require printing plates, and modern digital methods which use digitized mechanisms.
Traditional Techniques
Traditional techniques include letterpress printing, offset printing, and gravure printing, which have been conveniently used for large-scale printing in commercial settings.
Modern Techniques
Modern techniques encompass digital printing, screen printing, and inkjet printing, which are more technologically advanced and efficient, offering better printing results.
Process Overview
Digital printing spans techniques like inkjet and laser, where images are sent directly to the printer using digital files, removing the need for printing plates and often saving time and money.
Variety of Application
Technological improvements allow these modern methods to be versatile across artistic, commercial, and practical applications.
Factors Influencing Choice
The choice of technique depends on factors like required quantity, product type, design complexity, and desired quality.
Matching Clients with Techniques
The range of options now available matches printers to clients based on their specialized needs.
