In order to produce a large amount of printed products it is necessary to have a commercial printer. The main difference between commercial printers and regular ones is the fact that the latter is capable of running high numbers of copies, maybe even thousands, reason why it is not that unnatural to see that their number can reach five thousand. Even though the technology may seem miraculous, it is actually based on the old-fashioned inkjet printing technique. Inkjet printing recreates the digital image by firing dots of ink at the paper. Due to their versatility commercial printers are capable of producing a large array of products such as brochures, invitations or newsletters. So, are you curios to see how the publication you are reading came to be? The entire printing process relies on inkjet technologies like Spectra Nova 256 80 PL and much more.

At the heart of the commercial printing lies the creative process. Both writers and editors have to develop the text, after which the graphic is created. Once the article is written and of course approved it is necessary to figure out how the text and the image will be put together. But what happens during the actual printing process? Well, the microscopic nozzles contained by the printhead eject ink onto the paper, the Spectra Polaris 512 15 PL actually being the core of the printer, whether commercial or for home purposes. For commercial production, precision micro-fabrication techniques are used. Mention can be made of laser ablation and photolithography. In order to ensure a uniform print, the nozzles are formed in a single fabrication step. To make sure that the nozzle of the plate is clear from debris it is usually wiped with a squeegee. Each of the primary colors will have a different plate even though in the finished product you can see many others. When it comes to printing solutions, the best option is the Spectra Nova due to the fact that it is especially designed for a large range of commercial and industrial printing environments. Not only is it reliable, but it also ensures high-performance.

After having cleared up the inking process, it is time to discuss about the products. The outcome of the commercial printing process depends to a large extent on the person who is responsible with the market. More precisely, the job that each person performs varies in function and it is needless to say that the end result is different each time different. Equally important is mentioning that although they bear the name of commercial printers, people generally refer to large volume printers that handle only a specific type of product. Nonetheless, the result is that the products obtained can be sold and profits can be made. What is important is that the entire process relies on the performance of the printhead, the component that turns dots into text and even image. Next time you look at a brochure, you will know how it came to life.
