Digital Printing Technology in Use

The other digital technology is the electrophotographic press. Using imaging technology very similar to that available in color copiers, these digital color presses are plateless and use toner rather than ink to paint images on paper. Schneider explains that “every time the imaging cylinder comes around, it gets a new charge for a new image. It picks up toner, paints [it] on the page, that image is wiped clean and a new one is laid down for the next impression.”
