3 Ways Poor Digital Printing Can Affect The Quality Of Your Digital Print

Tan Seoh Kiong • Feb 23, 2023

Have you ever tried digital printing something only for it to end up dull, blurry or pixelated on paper? You are not alone. Poor digital printing is a common problem typically encountered by people do not know how to print correctly, or who use digital printing equipment of low-quality. This is how poor digital printing can affect the quality of the digital print.

1. Aesthetics

Poor digital printing can result in a digital print that is much less attractive. For example, poor contrast or uneven shading as a result of poor digital printing can make the digital print appear dull. Digital printing typically involves the spraying of tiny dots of ink or toner onto a paper. If the digital printer is calibrated incorrectly, the ink dots may not be sprayed uniformly in size or distribution. As a result, dark appearances will be created in areas of the digital print where the ink dots are sprayed closer together, and light appearances created when the ink dots are sprayed further apart.

2. Image Accuracy

Poor digital printing can result in a highly inaccurate reproduction of the original image, with inaccurate or lost colours or details. For example, if the digital printer’s colour settings are incorrect, the digital printer will not be able to reproduce certain colours. This can result in the colours of the digital print being different from the original one. If the digital printer's resolution is not high enough, details will be lost during the digital printing process, resulting in the digital print being less sharp than the original.

3. Durability

Poor digital printing can also result in a low-quality digital print which degrades quickly. When the ink or toner is not properly fixed to the paper during the digital printing process, the digital print can end up smearing or rubbing off easily. Should the ink or toner also not be water resistant, the digital print will end up easily damaged by exposure to moisture.

It is therefore important to ensure that your digital prints are printed with the right method and equipment.
