Analog VS Hybrid VS Fully Digital
: Lithography is also called offset printing. In offset printing, the ink is first placed on a metal plate and then transferred to an offset plate, before printing onto the substrate paper. If you are using the CMYK color system, you would need 4 plates, one for each of the CMYK colors.
If you wanted 1000 labels each for two different designs, you would be charged for each design since it would require the changing of the plates, creating new plates, and switching plates during printing. However, if you were to order 2000 labels of one design, it would be cheaper as there would be no need for changing plates during the printing process.
: Hybrid Printing technology combines traditional printing technology with inkjet on a single-pass print system. It allows your business optimal performance by blending analog and digital with UV inks or water-based ink for your printing processes. These hybrid systems also allow your business the opportunity to skip the printing plates. While maintaining a compact footprint, these presses allow your business to forego the downtime of plate manufacturing or changeover.
Other than the optimal quality and speed of prints it is important to note the flexibility of these presses. When compared to digital; unless you’re meeting hybrid’s very strict and specific criterion, digital will still provide your business with the best value for label printing or on sheets of paper for example.
Digital: Digital printing is most commonly used to print small- scale jobs. The computer is used to prepare a design and can instantly be printed. Digital printing allows these factories to charge per structure rather than per design. If you have a smaller budget and need lower volumes, digital printing would be a cost-effective option.
Hybrid systems do have the ability to print variable data but they are unable to do it as efficiently and effectively as a digital printing press. If you’re business solely focuses on shorter runs of highly customized prints stray away from hybrid and look towards digital.
The label production process comparison :
The seamless digital integration removes the dependence on costly and time-consuming analog tools such as plates or dies; we have eliminated analog bottlenecks across all production process. Anytron integrates a digital printer and a laser finisher to run inline; thus, its digital solution can finish multiple jobs in one process without downtime.
How much cost and time you can save by fully digital label solution
Many think digital printing consumables (such as toner or ink) are a heavy burden. However, considering the time and cost of printing and cutting setup, the digital printing solution is the best way to save costs.
