2.2 Offset Press vs. Digital imagePRESS
Offset printing
is a technique that transfers (or “offsets”) an inked image from
a plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface. This enables the
offset press to maintain a consistent and high image quality over long print runs
because the plate never touches the paper. The process requires a substantial
investment in equipment and setup time to achieve these results.
A
digital press
uses an electrostatic process to produce “offset-like” image
quality at a fraction of the cost of an offset press. In the imagePRESS C7000VP
digital press, the drum is imaged; the toner is applied, and then transferred to
the AITB (Advanced Imaging Transfer Belt). The AITB then transfers all four
toner colors to the paper in one single pass. The small toner particle size
captures a greater color gamut space, closer to that of an offset press.
2.3 Image
Stabilization
Control
The quality of printed images is affected by changes in the environment, such
as temperature, humidity, etc. in which the machine is installed. It is also
affected by the deterioration of image formation parts through extended usage.
The imagePRESS C7000VP performs image stabilization control to ensure
stable print quality over an extended period of time.
