Digital printing
Analogue printing was where it all started. Johannes Gutenberg introduced the first analogue, mechanically based printing pressed many years ago, but the process has continued to evolve over the years.
The ability to Print has lead to the spread of knowledge to the masses. Storing and archiving knowledge was also enabled as Books could now be printed that consisted of many important ideologies and theories. This mechanical process was then revolutionised when it was combined with electricity. Mass production was made economically feasible for publications and other regular prints.
The introduction of the personal computer and the digital age lead to the inevitable creation of the digital printing process. Digital printing, which received its booming debut in 1993, changed the way people thought about the printing process.
First of all, digital printing brought quality to the business table. The quality of digital Print was undeniably better than its analogue predecessor. It allowed for the ‘DPI’ (dots per inch) factor to be introduced, which changed the way designers and artists viewed quality art and graphics. With the evolution of the digital printers the DPI numbers became higher and the megapixel count of images increased. This combination lead to the photorealistic prints we can now make in the comfort of our own homes.
Secondly, digital printing made printing customisable. It has become simple and easy to adjust, modify and/or change pieces of your image or project. Digital printing enables you to modify your project digitally which eliminates the expensive costs that would have been applicable to a similar change of an analogue project.
Thirdly, digital printing has enabled the average personal computer user to afford and use a home digital printer. Home ink jet printers are almost as common as personal computers themselves and can be found in an abundance of homes.
