How digital paper work for your next project

By Lori B Olson


The new digital printing era has affected the way we do printing and how we use paper. The words "digital copy" has various meanings which can cause a world of confusion. Depending who you are speaking to, they may presume you are sending them a document via email in a portable document format, commonly identified as PDF.

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.

This new digital print age brags of a superb print quality but not requiring a high-volume run, this then providing for reasonable pricing. Ultimately, you will see a superb quality of paper working well with high quality digital print and find the cost for a small print run to stay within the budget.

The recommendation for most projects is that you consult a local printing company. They can provide quotes, suggestions and possibly complete digital job. Assess the quality and price ratio of your job. Ultimately you may decide using your local printer to run the digital job is the most cost effective option for you today.
