Since 2002
Digital printing is a new printing method that prints computer files directly on the substrate, which is different from the cumbersome process of traditional printing.
Its characteristics: print from one sheet, no need to make a plate, ready to wait, instant error correction, variable printing, printing on demand. Digital printing is a comprehensive technology developed on the basis of printing technology. It uses electronic text as a carrier and transmits it to digital printing equipment through the network to realize direct printing. In the printing production process, no version and variable information are the biggest features, covering various technical fields such as printing, electronics, computers, networks, and communications.
Since digital printing does not require the complicated procedures of traditional offset printing, it only needs to be sent from the computer to the printing machine to produce the finished product. Therefore, urgent printing, variable printing, and on-demand printing are unattainable by traditional printing. Therefore, the digital printing industry really caters to the ever-changing demand for rapid printing of commercial prints, and the development speed is quite fast, and the development space is very large.

In China, labor costs are increasing. Compared with traditional printing, digital printing, which requires less labor, saves a lot of labor costs. Part of the traditional printing business is shifting to digital printing.
