As a digital printing specialist, ORANGE DESIGNS | Sign & Graphic Solutions can provide eye-catching designs coupled with a variety of print mediums; to create the perfect look for your brand. Digital print technology allows us to print images directly onto various surfaces, such as paper, fabric, plastic, vinyl or even 3D objects. It is an alternative to traditional analog printing methods like offset printing, which require the creation of printing plates.

Many print vendors just slap an image with no though to clarity or quality of materials, this provides a cheap look that customers notice… Our methods combine time honored craftsmanship with state of the art technology to provide durable and lasting products that will help you stand out.
In digital printing, the image is created or transferred directly from a computer to the printing device, without the need for intermediate steps like film negatives or plates. The process typically involves the following steps:
- Design creation: The image or design is created digitally using specialty software that one of our talented graphic designers will use. This naturally is approved by the customer prior to print.
- Prepress preparation: The design is prepared for printing by adjusting colors, resolution, and layout if necessary. This step ensures that the design is optimized for the specific printing device and surface.
- Printing: The design is sent to a digital printer, which applies the ink or toner directly onto the chosen substrate. The printer interprets the digital file and precisely reproduces the image.
- Finishing: After printing, additional processes may be applied, such as cutting, binding, laminating, or coating, depending on the intended use and desired finish of the printed material.
Digital printing offers several advantages over traditional printing methods, including:
- Quick turnaround time: Since there is no need for plate creation or setup, digital printing allows for faster production and shorter lead times.
- Variable data printing: Digital printing enables personalized or customized printing, where each printed piece can contain unique information, such as names, addresses, or images.
- Cost-effective for small quantities: Traditional printing methods are generally more cost-effective for large print runs, but digital printing is more economical for smaller quantities due to the absence of setup costs.
- High-quality output: Digital printing produces high-resolution, sharp, and accurate prints, with the ability to reproduce intricate details and gradients.
Digital printing is widely used in various industries, including advertising, marketing, packaging, apparel, photography, and fine art, as it provides flexibility, speed, and quality for a range of printing needs.
