What’s the difference between digital and litho printing?

We offer both digital and litho printing. Digital printing has improved hugely over the last few years. In simple terms, digital printing machines are large, fast laser printers. Their are no associated setup costs and they can print very good quality prints, almost instantly. This makes them very cost effective, particularly for relatively small quantities. It’s also very easy to personalise printouts by linking the output to a database of, for example, names and addresses. Litho printing is a technique that has been in use for many years now and involves large printing presses. There is setup time associated which effects how fast litho printing can be turned around but the quality is very high, you can achieve more special finishes and it is often more economical to print large quantities this way.
