Talk:Digital printing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the statement that digital inks take less time to dry than litho inks. I help run a web offset litho press, it has big ovens that the paper flys through to dry. The ink is totally dry by the time it comes off the end of the press, unless something unusual happens, like a wash-up tray overflowing and splashing ink on the blankets. A copy might be in the ovens for a second or so. Our press is ~30 years old, so this is nothing new. --Phroziac ♥♥♥♥ 00:35, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

When I get the time, I will make some remarks on this article, which is useless as a source.

It is easy to delete sections when you think it doesn't make sense. But what you really need to know is that a digital press when compared to offset is focused on smaller sheet feed machines not web machines that have dryers in them. So in the case of smaller sheet feed offset press equipment a digital press's print will dry faster. The definition also does not make much sense to me personally. so I changed it to the current one.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmr gb (talk • contribs) 15:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I've changed the intro para so that it is closer to what was there before - I think it's more important to start with the physical definition, rather than what it means in marketing terms. Also I trimmed the whole page down quite a lot - for example I felt that all the various examples of types of personalised products probably belonged elsewhere (VDP / POD pages?) rather than here.
