Benefits of Digital Production Workflow

In today's printing industry, fast turnaround and better value for your printing dollars have become the norm, an all digital workflow from file to press helps to accomplish just that.

Digital workflow boosts pre-press productivity, cuts out steps from the printing process and acts as a stepping stone to adopt new technologies in other departments as well. Anything that can be done to reduce production steps, handling and processing time in pre-press or any other department, results to cutting costs and the savings are passed on to clients in addition to other benefits such as quality improvement and less turnaround time.

In more detail the advantages of an all digital workflow are:

Improved quality: In eliminating film plates, we are able to take your file and turn it into a plate, cutting out about 7 steps of processing and improving the quality. First generation output from any computer file always has the greatest fidelity. Making a proof or a plate directly from a digital file, yields absolutely accurate content and precise fit, with true tone captured in each dot.

More flexibility: Using all digital soft proofing, it is much quicker and cheaper to make corrections at any stage of the proofing process, that a customer detects any errors. Corrections can be made and a new proof can be generated prior to printing. Proofing with film was an expensive, labor intensive process with little flexibility for changes.

Quality Control: An automated workflow process involves less human interaction, and consequently, less human error. An all digital workflow provides reports and checks details in the client files to assure top quality processing, pre- press evaluation and consequently printing.

Client Mobility: A digital workflow allows clients to be involved in the process from any location. They no longer have to wait for files, or paper proofs to arrive in the mail, and it gives them the flexibility to work from anywhere, and share proofs with remote teams, approve, reject and resubmit files from anywhere in the world.

Set-up times decrease: Accuracy of registration on press improves since less steps are needed, and consequently it takes less time to get the job set up for printing - it will be processed, shipped and delivered much faster than when the process involved 7 extra steps.
