Digital Printing Has Become Very Poplar As Of Late

By Timothy Walker


If you've reached the point where your company now has a branding or advertising budget, or even if you've decided that it the time is ripe to get your company name noticed - you should consider approaching a specialist in digital printing in Syracuse, NY. They can help you with the design and execution of a number of promotional aspects.

Inkject ink can be either dye based (where the color is dissolved) or pigment based (where a powder is suspended) and the ink is sprayed onto the surface through a lot of small nozzles. Toners for laser jobs are made up of fine powder which sticks to the actual paper as a result of electrostatic charges.

The powder dye sublimation produces high-end photo images. It doesn't use individual dots, and instead the ink is vaporized and sticks to special paper. Once it cools, the ink becomes solid, creating a neater finish than inkjet jobs would have. Solid ink is cheaper, because you don't need inkjet photo paper. This process works by melting wax-based ink and spraying small drops onto the desired surface area. These can give produce vivid colors and can usually print onto any kind of surface.

Thermal autochrome printing is a lot fancier and is used by digital photographers. It uses specialized light-sensitive paper which has embedded layers of color. These colors are activated by heat from the printer.

If you're looking for lots of detail, going it digitally is the ideal way to go. To get the high level of detail, ink will be applied thinner than that applied during screen job executions. The screen print process uses stencils and the ink is applied in separate layers with a new stencil for each color. It is also interesting to note that only four colors are used in the process! Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black can be combined to make any color you need.

The design of the vehicle wrap should be handled by the professionals, with some input from you, of course. The files are created in specialized software, are usually very large and take longer to create than those required for normal digital printed media. Once you've approved the design and artwork, these files are printed on vinyl and laminated.

The vinyl can now put applied to your vehicle and is able to be adjusted until submitted to the correct pressure and heat. Because of the size of the printers, the vehicle wrap will consist of multiple pieces and this makes the application to the vehicle that much more efficient. You'll also need to make sure the vehicle is washed and dry before taking it in for the wrap as this will depend on how well the vinyl sticks to it.

If you want your finished product to look professional, if you want to print in higher quantities than your desktop printer can handle and if you want the best colors on the perfect medium, you should definitely make use of the professionals in the area of Syracuse, NY. A lot of these companies will also make use of wide format presses, for the printing of banners and signs. Your main needs will be addressed and handled with courtesy, and you should remember to demand no less.
