Technical Information
Get your artwork ready
To get your file ready for digital printing, here are some important steps to follow:
1. File Format: Ensure that your file is in a compatible format for digital printing. The most common format is a Print Ready PDF.
2. Resolution: Set the resolution of your file to a minimum of 300 dots per inch (DPI) to ensure high-quality printing. This will help maintain sharpness and clarity in your printed materials.
3. Bleed: Add a bleed to your design. Bleed refers to extending the background or design elements beyond the trim edge of the printed piece. This ensures that there are no white borders or gaps when the final product is trimmed.
4. Colour Mode: Convert your file to CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). This ensures accurate colour reproduction.
5. Fonts and Text: Embed or outline all fonts used in your design to avoid any potential font-related issues during printing. Also, make sure that your text is legible and properly aligned.
6. Image Quality: Check the quality of any images used in your design. Make sure they are high-resolution and suitable for printing. Avoid using low-resolution images as they may appear pixelated or blurry in the final print.
7. Proofreading: Before sending your file for printing, carefully proofread the content to ensure there are no spelling or grammatical errors. It’s always a good idea to have someone else review it as well to catch any mistakes you may have missed.
Remember to consult with your printing service provider for any specific requirements they may have. Following these steps will help ensure a smooth and successful digital printing process.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between digital and offset printing?
As a general rule, larger quantities are more suited to Offset printing and smaller quantities that are needed in a faster turnaround suit digital printing.
Of course there are exceptions to the rule, talk to your Scotts representative to work out what is right for you.
Digital printing and offset printing are two popular methods used in the printing industry.
While both techniques produce high-quality prints, there are some key differences between them.
Digital printing is a modern printing method that involves transferring digital files directly onto the printing surface.
It uses advanced technology to print images and text with precision and accuracy. This method is ideal for smaller quantities of prints, as it offers a quick turnaround time.
Digital printing is also cost-effective for short print runs, as there are no setup costs involved.
Additionally, it allows for customisation and personalisation, making it suitable for variable data printing, such as personalised direct mail campaigns or individualised marketing materials.
Offset Printing Perth
On the other hand, offset printing is a traditional printing technique that involves transferring ink from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing surface.
It is best suited for larger quantities of prints, as the setup costs are higher but the per-unit cost decreases with higher volumes.
Offset printing offers a wide range of colour options and produces vibrant and consistent prints.
It is commonly used for commercial printing, such as brochures, catalogues, and magazines.
Things to consider
When deciding between digital and offset printing, it is important to consider your specific printing needs.
If you require a small quantity of prints with a quick turnaround, digital printing is the way to go.
However, if you need a large volume of prints and can afford a slightly longer production time, offset printing may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Ultimately, the choice between digital and offset printing depends on factors such as quantity, turnaround time, budget, and desired print quality.
Consulting with a printing professional, like Scotts, can help you determine the best printing method for your specific requirements.
We can provide expert advice and guidance to ensure that your prints are produced efficiently and meet your expectations.
