Printing Methods
Traditional Printing: Typically, traditional printing is more expensive, but the quality is higher than can be achieved with in-house and digital print methods. Traditional printing works well when larger print runs are needed or specific brand colors are desired.
- Digital Printing: Digital printing offers quality, but is a step down from traditional printing. Digital printing works well for smaller runs of brochures, postcards, flyers, etc. The media used for digital printing is normally smaller than the larger traditional sheet-fed presses.
In-house Printing: The invention of color LaserJets and Inkjet printers has made it easier for the average person to print their own materials. While paper sizes are limited, for the most part, in-house printing is a perfect way to handle small quality runs and to customize presentations.
Color LaserJets use toner cartridges and the ink has a longer life span than Inkjets ink. LaserJets are perfect for in-house everyday office use. A larger selection of papers may be utilized with these printers.
Color inkjets use ink cartridges and the ink has a shorter life span than LaserJet ink. Inkjets are perfect for reproducing higher quality photographs or limited presentation materials as they print well on both glossy and matte stocks.
