DIGITAL PRINTING VS CONVENTIONAL PRINTING
Comparison
DIGITAL
* Unlimited colors (up to 8-bit ~ 16.8 million colors!)
* No restriction in Design complexity
* No long set-up times or costs required
* More accuracy, fewer variations and wastage
* Cheap for low-volume, high quality prints
* No minimum volume restriction. Prints as little as 10 yards are also feasible
CONVENTIONAL
* Number of colors per design very limited depending on no. of screens
* Design complexity is restricted due to screens
* Long set-up times and cost required for developing screens, color proofs, plates etc.
* Lesser accuracy and hi variation
* Very unfeasible for low-volume, high quality runs
* Small sampling runs are virtually impossible
