What You Might Not Know About Commercial Digital Printers

Vocabulary
Many people underestimate commercial digital printers for simply printing in large quantities. What you might not know, though, is that commercial digital printers are incredibly diverse in their abilities and can be especially helpful if you’re a creative professional, small business owner or production manager. Here are just a few ways in which a commercial digital printer can take your print collateral to a new level of quality and efficiency.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting has improved to the point that it is now much more streamlined in both cost and turnaround than it used to be. Laser cutting is exactly as it sounds: a commercial print shop will employ a laser cut technology to make incisions or impressions in your print piece.
Variable Data
Imagine a scenario where you’re able to personalize any number of individual print pieces for each recipient. Commonly known as “variable data,” commercial digital presses are now able to understand requests to change variables such as greetings, first and last names, and even certain design features from piece to piece.
Encryption and User Authentication
Another advantage of a commercial digital printing press is the enhanced security that comes with it. In today’s world of connectivity, Bluetooth and multi-office print shops, the amount of data passed back and forth could theoretically be hacked in the same way a computer or email address gets hacked.
Fortunately, improvements in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) cybersecurity policies have made it mandatory to invest in the proper security for any device that could be vulnerable. This includes manufacturers, as well as the commercial digital prints shops that host data.
