TYPES OF DIGITAL PRINTING
                 Digital printing has different types depending on what is being printed and where it is used. Here

                 are the main types explained in a simple way:


                 1. Offset Lithography Printing
                 Offset lithography printing is a method where ink is transferred from a metal
                 plate  to  a  rubber  sheet  and  then  onto  paper.  It is  widely  used  for printing
                 newspapers, books and magazines because it produces high-quality images
                 and text.


                                              2. Flexography Printing

                                              Flexography printing is a process that uses flexible rubber plates to
                                              print on materials like plastic, cardboard, and food packaging. It is
                                              often used for labels, shopping bags, and cartons as it dries quickly
                                              and prints on various surfaces.


                 3. Screen Printing

                 Screen printing is a technique where ink is pushed through a stencil
                 (screen) to  create  bold  and  colourful designs  on T-shirts, posters,
                 banners, and fabric. It is best for customised clothing and promotional
                 materials.


                                           4. Inkjet Printing
                                           Inkjet printing is a digital printing method that sprays tiny ink droplets

                                           onto paper or other materials. It is commonly used in home and office
                                           printers for printing documents, images and school projects.

                 powder to produce sharp and clear prints. It is commonly used for business

                 documents, office work, and high-speed printing.
