How can digital paper confuse

By Lori B Olson


Printing, paper and project goals have always found their way to a world of stress and confusion. This digital era has introduced more choices and results for the creative professional. If you tell a member of your team that the project is digital, there might be a need to explain exactly what that means. One may first assume you are sending them a portable document by way of email. This is a common term for sending PDF format and this requires no form of paper or printing.

Digital paper can refer to a card stock or paper formulated to run optimally on a digital print machine. Sometimes the paper is coated, other time it is manufactured in such a way that it harmonizes with digital presses for superb color and quality. Many print manufacturers have introduced the market to their high-end and budgeted digital machines. Browse Xerox, HP, OKI and many other companies to find out more technical information regarding these amazing printers and how they can out perform your expectations.

Many print manufactures produce budgeted and commercial grade printers that stand in the digital category. It can be a challenge to consider the purchase of a digital printer since they have a very broad range in price. Manufactured by most big brand companies, it provides a complex grid for choosing size, output and speed of the printer. If you are considering a purchase of this type of printer for only a few projects in the year, you will quickly find that sourcing your job to the local printer would be the most cost effective option.

The print industry is surrounded with companies manufacturing digital presses. Some of these top names are also printer manufactures for inkjet, Laser, wax base and thermal printing. Who do you trust and how do you know which one or whether you should buy a digital printer.

Shimmer digital paper, colors and glossy white. This is just a few of the options one has when choosing the paper for their project.
