Digital printing refers to the various methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media.
With this method of digital printing, an image is sent directly to the printer using digital files in PDF, TIFF, PSD or other formats. Digital printing is best used for items that require high amounts of detail and smaller quantity orders. Unlike conventional printing, there are no pre-press stages between the digital document files and the final product; there is also no need for messy formatting equipment like film plates or photo chemicals.
Digital prints should come out perfectly when the following stages of production are done accurately.

However, it is not always easy to decide which process will best suit your job, so before you choose how to print your design, there are a few things you should consider.
