Digital magazine printing offers tremendous benefits unmatched by other media channels. Smart phones that were adopted in a relatively short amount of time, have a great influence on consumers. Furthermore, this increased mobile usage has led to an increase in the consumption of digital content. It can reach readers on a global scale.
While web offset brochure printing does add some steps in the process, for massive orders, it makes financial sense for several reasons. Direct printing takes the image or text directly from the computer or electronic source to the printer. In offset printing, the computer makes the image on a plate and then the plate is used to print onto multiple pieces of paper. Most commercial printings for catalogues, magazines, and books are done on web offset printing presses.
Significance of Digital Printing
· It reaches their audience in a very short amount of time, and online readers often consume the edition they very same day it’s distributed.
· A big advantage of digital content is that they can contain an increase in the number of pages without changing the layout or having to condense text to work with a particular format. Also, publishers do not incur additional costs for paper or printing additional pages in the digital version of the magazine, which means no additional fees are passed on to advertisers.
Significance of Offset Printing
· With a web offset press, producing plenty of copies of a catalogue or magazine is quick and easy. Technicians can also change plates quickly, which makes daily production much more efficient.
· Businesses can accept the thinner, less expensive paper for magazines and similar publications. It all depends on the needs of the specific project and the customers' vision for the end-product.
