Why choose digital printing?
Digital printing is capable of producing very high quality
documents in limited time-frames. Unlike offset printing
there is no initial cost involved to make the plates required
for a printing press. This makes it ideal for small to medium
print runs (less than 2000 sheets). For larger printing runs please see the offset printing section.
Digital Printing at Universal Print: At Universal Print we use only the latest digital technology
from companies such as Fuji Xerox and Canon to ensure a professional
result every time. To view examples of some of our work please
visit our portfolio.
We also have a wide variety of the latest technology. Where other printers rely on only one machine and perhaps need to outsource their work, we have a large group of equipment and brands, giving us greater flexibiliy and a better ability to meet deadlines.
