What’s the difference between lithographic and digital printing?
A job printed lithographically is produced on a printing press, while digital printing is printed on a copier or printer connected directly to a computer. When someone says that a job will be printed digitally, it’s just a fancy term for copying. Digital doesn’t mean the quality is better, in fact it’s usually worse. Most copiers are capable of producing excellent quality, but I’m yet to find a copier that matches the quality of a printing press. Like most printing companies, we have a colour copier for short runs, but I always like to show my customers the difference in quality and the best option for their printing job.
