What you should know before you print... Lithography is often considered the best for high-quality printing due to its ability to produce sharp, detailed images and vibrant colors, especially for large areas of solid color. It excels at precise color reproduction and consistency, making it suitable for projects requiring accuracy and fidelity. While digital printing has improved significantly, litho printing still offers a smoother, pixel-free appearance and a wider range of materials and textures it can be used on. Here's a more detailed explanation of why lithography is often preferred for high-quality printing: Sharp Detail and Vivid Colors: Litho printing uses a process where ink is transferred from a plate to a blanket cylinder and then to the paper, resulting in sharper images and more vibrant colors compared to digital printing. Smooth Color Blocks: Litho excels at producing smooth, seamless color blocks, which is a significant advantage for projects requiring large areas of solid color. Color Accuracy and Consistency: Lithography allows for more precise color reproduction and consistent results across large print runs, making it suitable for projects where color accuracy is crucial. Wide Range of Materials and Textures: Litho printing can handle a broader range of materials and textures than digital printing, including textured paper, cardboard, and even plastic and metal. Specialized Inks: Litho printing allows for the use of special inks like spot colors, metallics, and Pantones, offering greater flexibility and creative options. Cost-Effective for Large Runs: While litho printing may have higher upfront costs due to plate preparation, it becomes cost-effective for large print runs, where the unit cost per copy decreases as the quantity increases.
