The flatbed printer is an innovative color printing device, also known as the universal flatbed printer. It is not subject to any material restrictions and can be color photo-printed on the surface of wood, glass, crystal, PVC, ABS, acrylic, metal, plastic, stone, leather and so on. Whether it is a simple block color pattern, full color pattern or pattern with excessive color, it can be printed at one time without plate making, without printing and repeating color, rich and colorful, realistic effect, waterproof image, sunscreen and abrasion resistance. It does not fade, the operation is simple and convenient, the printing image speed is fast, it fully meets the printing industry standard, and the application field is very wide. Below, Dongguan Kehui compares the advantages and disadvantages of digital inkjet technology and traditional printing.
        Digital printing technology has broad market prospects due to its advanced technology and huge environmental potential. In the field of inkjet digital printing, the leading digital inkjet printing technology, with its huge breakthrough in technology and great advantages in energy saving and environmental protection, has challenged traditional printing and is expected to have a place in the entire printing industry chain.
        "Offset grade" digital inkjet printing
        When it comes to digital inkjet printing, it has to be compared with the current mainstream traditional printing methods. Digital printing has no restrictions on printing volume, and it has the advantages of flexibility and simplified printing. However, the digital printing equipment currently in common use is far less than conventional printing in terms of production capacity, and the cost is relatively high. At the same time, there is a certain gap between the quality and the traditional printing effect. Therefore, at present, traditional printing still occupies the vast majority of the printing market.
        The emergence of digital inkjet technology, with its dramatic innovation, broke through the limitations of digital printing, and is expected to greatly expand the digital printing market. Digital flatbed printers are a combination of traditional printing and digital printing. It not only maintains the flexibility of digital printing, but also combines the high quality and high productivity of traditional printing. It has been estimated that the current printing and printing costs of less than 5,000 copies, the overall efficiency and cost of digital inkjet printing technology has outweighed the traditional offset printing, which greatly increased the cost demarcation point between digital printing and traditional printing. From the aspects of cost, media adaptability, print quality and productivity, it can be compared with traditional printing.
        Variable printing flexibility subverts traditional printing
        In addition to the green prospects and low-carbon advantages of digital inkjet printing seen in the production process, the advantages of digital printing are even more obvious when examining the entire printing industry chain. With continuous inkjet technology for variable printing, the printing industry can adopt variable printing and on-demand publishing, and the prospects for reducing carbon emissions in the printing industry are also very broad.
        The biggest advantage of digital printing compared to traditional printing methods is its flexibility. Digital printing does not require plate making, there is no limit on the amount of printing, eliminating all the prepress processes of traditional printing. It only needs to input the file as usual, and it can be printed with one computer.

         On-demand printing can greatly adapt to market changes and reduce waste in the printing industry. With variable printing, printing companies can print a small amount of products on the market. If the sales are good, they can immediately increase production and print again according to customer needs, reducing a lot of waste. At present, in some countries with relatively small populations in Europe and America, on-demand printing has become more popular.
