Digital Colour Printing
A digital printing press does not require plates and can utilize either toner or ink, depending on the press. A digital press is still a four-color printing process, but it requires far less make-ready and manual accuracy than offset printing. For these reasons, Digital Printing is synonymous with short-run printing.
