What are the differences between digital printing and flexo?
Flexographic printing is a printing method that uses flexible plates that are made of rubber or plastic. Each of the plates gets rotated on a cylinder and gets coated with a quick drying ink. The material runs between the print plates and the impression roller, which puts the ink onto the material.
Digital printing uses toner which gets put onto the material which needs to be printed. The toner forms a thin layer on the surface of the material by using a heating process. If it is a laser printer it works with an electric charge and the ink sticks to the charged area. With an inkjet printer, small droplets of ink come from print heads which out the ink on the paper.
