Session Overview
When we reference “Digital Print”, it refers to both toner and inkjet technology. Each technology is used by itself and in combination for cross platform print campaigns, but did you know each has specific differences in media requirements? It’s not just about choosing media based on grade, texture, whiteness, brightness or shade best suited for the project, but understanding the compatibility and availability paper has to each technology. Differences can impact your media choices as well as printed color and image quality. This program is key for any print providers and design agencies integrating digital print campaigns requiring similar appearance across devices. Attendees will learn about media differences for each technology and critical points to consider when researching and specifying media for each technology.
