What is Digital Printing?

Whilst there are many types of printing, for most purposes ther are really only two types of printing:

  1. Offset printing; or
  2. Digital printing.

Offset printing is the traditional printing method that uses wet ink and large machines, and is associated with a great deal of mess and noise.

Digital printing is a more modern process, that uses:

  • Dry ink (commonly called 'Toner") that is NOT messy;
  • Smaller machines that are quiet.

Digital printing is a bit like a photocopying, but the quality is as good as (if not better than) traditional offset printing; so, quality is not an issue (and we have heaps more about our quality printing below). The advantages of digital printing are:

  • You can have exact runs, where as offset printing is normally provided in set quantities (e.g.: 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, etc);
  • Each printed page can be different from the page before it and the page after it, where as offset printing has each page the same.

 

 

Now for some stuff on how TheOnlinePrinter operates nits digital printing service.

 

Our aim is NOT to produce printing at the lowest price no matter what. NO!

Our aim is to produce top quality full colour printing, delivered on time, and do so at a realistic price.

 

Digital Printing Excellence

TheOnlinePrinter is dedicated to the pursuit of full colour printing  excellence. We set up this business because we have a passion for excellence. We are not so much technicians using computerised equipment, as craftsmen and craftswomen passionate about a cause.

We use the most advanced equipment in the world to achieve highest quality full colour digital printing output and we have the skills and vast experience needed use these printing machines. Many commercial printers have one or the other, but very few have both!

A computer programme has been especially created for TheOnlinePrinter's full colour digital printing services and full colour discount priced printing products. The computer programme displays to all staff the stage of production where each job is at, and the date by which the job is to be completed. This information assists each staff member in better organising his or her day/week so as to be able to produce quality products in a timely manner, as distinct from being badly organised and ‘rushing’ jobs due to a forgotten deadline.

Over the years we have been providing high quality full colour digital printing services and discount priced printed products, procedures have been developed, some of which might seem trivial, to ensure that only quality material ever goes out through our doors. Some of the procedures include ‘creep allowed for’, ‘have corrections caused job to reflow’, ‘number of copies matches order’, ‘printed pages match signed off proof’, ‘folds accurately’, and ‘job signed off by director before dispatch’.

Careful attention is paid to packaging so that full colour printed material is not scuffed during the dispatch process (e.g. damage can be caused by merely squashing too many items into a box) or during transit, and the packaging must be signed-off by a director BEFORE the package is even sealed.

Stringent and frequent quality checks

Your job will not proceed from one stage of our printing process to the next stage until it meets the strict quality control checks that apply to that particular stage.

At each stage of print production, each item on our quality control check list must be signed-off by the operator, who is accountable for their work.

We make a final check against the proof that you have approved immediately prior to dispatch. If the final print job is not the same as your proof, then we will not dispatch your job to you.

Deadlines - we know what they mean

 

Customers have deadlines for one reason - they need their job on that date! Many printers do not understand that simple fact, so they give ‘guidelines’ as to when the job will be done.

Unlike those many other printers, TheOnlinePrinter is committed meeting deadlines, and we pursue on-time delivery for one reason - there is a chance, however remote that chance might be, that the customer is the best person to determine when a job should be shipped and the printer should adhere to the customer’s demands.
