Through the years, we witness the evolution of magazine production. Today, the two most common forms of magazine printing services are offset printing and digital printing.
The offset printing process uses an etched plate for every image to be printed. The ink adheres to the plate with the different colors being applied to the appropriate areas. The ink is then transferred to the paper using an offset printing press.
The digital printing process does not use plates to transfer the ink. The image is drawn using electrostatic rollers, also known as drums. Then, a toner is applied onto the paper and fused them using a high-heat process.
Digital printing offers several advantages over offset. Unlike Offset Printing that needs a separate plate for every image, which makes editing process tedious and time-sapping; Digital Printing makes editing quick and print both images instantly. It is also quick to set up than offset method. In addition, its print outputs are dry, which expedites the finishing process.
