You're finally ready to print out an important document or a big project plan. As soon as the printer takes the paper in, however, the paper gets stuck inside the machine and you can’t get it out.

Traditional printing methods, such as offset and screen printing, are limited to the mass production of a single document or image in one print run.

Digital printing is the process of reproducing the visual representation of an electronic file (such as a document or an image) onto media such as paper, photo paper, cardstock, fabric, canvas, and synthetics, among others. It is an alternative to traditional methods such as gravure, flexography, lithography, letter printing, offset printing, and others.
Production printers, also known as commercial printers or digital presses, are high-speed computer printers made for high-volume production of materials like manuals, brochures, booklets, and calendars. They are built to handle higher resolutions for color and monochrome printing, and can print on larger paper sizes such as A3+ or SRA3.
Production printers can reduce the time needed for labor-intensive color calibration and personalization tasks.
It sometimes seems that all the focus these days is on running a paperless business and going digital in every possible way. In the current market, many printing businesses are more worried about retaining their existing customer bases, but there are also many opportunities to earn new ones.
