Printing proofing is a very important link in the printing production process, which involves the preliminary inspection and confirmation of the quality and effect of the printed matter. It can check whether the layout size, image, text layout, rules, etc. are correct, whether there are any omissions, etc. It provides basic parameters for samples or printing for formal printing so that printing can achieve standardized operations.
Now the mainstream proofing is digital direct printing. Prolead’s sample department has digital direct printing machines, sample cutting machines, small hot stamping machines, small laminating machines, etc., which can fully meet the small batch production of notebooks.

The Difference Between Offset and Digital Printing

For potential printing customers, the difference between offset and digital printing is that digital printing is more suitable for short runs (i.e. starting from 1 copy), while offset printing is more suitable for long runs (i.e. starting from 500 copies or more).

Both digital and offset printing can produce extremely high quality print products, suitable for companies to print professional quality. The key factors for customers to choose digital printing over offset printing are usually the number of print projects and the color requirements.

The technical difference between digital printing and offset printing lies in the way the image is transferred to the paper. Digital printing is printed directly on the paper, while offset printing is transferred to the paper through the printing plate. It is this difference that affects the economics of printing cost, and this cost difference directly affects the price of the product.
