A Brief History of Digital Printing

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

In comparison to printing in general, the history of digital is comparatively shorter. In 1993, digital printing was first introduced and the history of the printing industry will never be the same again. The digital printer was the first mainstream printer that would produce cost effective short run printing.

In the year 1993 the very first digital color printing press was inaugurated. It was named Indigo. People were able to select customized high quality prints right from the desktop. On a paper surface, this ink creates a thin & smooth plastic coating.

After the launch of Indigo, the printing market went on to grow on a steady pace& in the year 2010 market for the digital printing was valued to be worth $85.2bn. In 2000 HP made a $100m investment in Indigo, buying 14.8 million of Indigo’s common shares. The principal difference between conventional printing methods and digital printing methods like lithography is the fact that in digital printing does not use conventional printing plates. Of the available digital printing methods, laser printing and inkjet printing are the most commonly used ones.

Digital printing makes use of dry ink printers like as the thermal printers.
