Is digital printing more cost-effective
than offset printing? |
The "warehouse" operation of the offset printing
is becoming less cost-effective for products with shorter life
cycles. Often, the waste alone drives the cost of an offset
job higher than a job that is printed real time and in smaller
quantities, but at a higher price per piece. With VDP's proven
response rate, it ultimately proves to be a more cost-effective
method. |
 |
Is there a limit to customization with
digital printing? |
Customization of your content is infinite. Everything
that is printed on the piece can be a variable; text, headline,
images, background, layout, etc. The paper which they're printed
on is the only thing that's not a variable. |
 |
How many different versions can be printed
in a single run? |
Infinite number of variations can be printed
in a single run. With a blending of various text, images, and
demographic elements all combined on the digital press, each
piece can be completely different from the previous one and
the one following. |
 |
Does digital printing have quantity restrictions? |
No, you can print one sheet - or thousands. Print
exactly the quantity you need whenever you need them. Digital
printing offers true print-on-demand convenience to save you
time and enables you to respond faster to market opportunities.

 |
How about film and plate costs? |
There are no film and plate costs in digital
printing. The documents are created on a computer and they are
transmitted directly to the press. This method saves time and
money because changes or modifications on a printed piece can
be made at any time without costly film and plates.

How does the quality of digital printing
compare to traditional method |
Digital printing matches the quality of offset
printing in virtually every application. The latest digital
presses offer superior color reproduction and extremely accurate
color matching capabilities. |

How do I prepare variables? |

is using Excel data sheet. When using various images and photos,

want to use. |
