WIDFP? - Digital Printing

Due to severe time constraints, I am having to compromise a lot of things now in order to get finished on time for the deadline. One of these compromises I have had to make is a lot to do with this print manual now, which I am in all honesty gutted about as I have been really enjoying putting it together.

Therefore for the digital printing page, I will use just a bit of the information that I found straight from it rather than sitting and typing it out in a better and my own versioned way. Here is what I will use:


Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital based image directly to a variety of media. It usually refers to professional printing where small run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large format and/or high volume laser or inkjet printers. Digital printing has a higher cost per page than more traditional offset printing methods but this price is usually offset by the cost saving in avoiding all the technical steps in between needed to make printing plates. It also allows for on demand printing, short turn around, and even a modification of the image (variable data) with each impression. The savings in labor and ever increasing capability of digital presses means digital printing is reaching a point where it will match or supersede offset printing technology's ability to produce larger print runs at a low price.


Images
As for the images, I will look through the ones I took at Team to see if I have any relevant ones for me to use for this.


If any of these would work it would be the left one, but it has come out blurry so I can't really use it so I'll use one from Google instead. I found this one that I will use:


Layout
I started putting the layout for this together.


I followed the same format with this as what I have done for the other printing processes pages.


Then added the image under this to fill the space.
