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.
Label printing processes have come a long way in recent years, and there are now several options available to meet the demands of different production needs. Three popular processes are off-line digital printing with a knife die-cutter, hybrid inline digital printing with a rotary die-cutter, and 100% fully digital inline printing. Each process has its advantages and drawbacks, making it important to understand the differences to choose the best one for your label printing needs.
The off-line digital printer and knife die-cutter process is a two-step process that incurs consumables costs.
‘
The hybrid inline digital printer process involves die changeover time and consumable costs.
‘
The 100% fully digital inline process involves no job changeover time and no consumables costs.
In conclusion, the 100% fully digital inline label printing process offers significant advantages over the other two processes. With no job changeover time and no consumables costs, it provides unparalleled efficiency and cost savings. By choosing this process, label printers can streamline their production and achieve optimal results.
