Digital Printing Technology and Machinery for Large-Format Printing

Modern Digital Printing Technology for Industrial Printed Products

For large-format printing, J. Schwarz uses modern digital printing machines designed for high-quality industrial printed products. Precise colour control, automatic calibration and carefully matched print profiles produce vibrant prints on a wide variety of materials.

In digital printing, print data is transferred directly from the computer to the printing machine (computer-to-print). As no printing forms or plates need to be produced, print jobs can be completed particularly quickly and cost-effectively. The process is especially suitable for short runs, production with tight deadlines and changing print designs.

How a Modern Digital Printing Machine Works

Modern digital printing machines process data directly from the print file without intermediate steps. Different printing technologies are used depending on the material and application to ensure consistently high print quality.

J. Schwarz uses high-performance inkjet processes for large-format digital printing. Precise printheads apply tiny droplets of ink accurately onto the substrate. This produces high-resolution prints with vibrant colours and excellent detail.

Direct data transfer shortens the overall printing process, reduces setup times and enables cost-effective, on-demand production of small and medium print runs.

Digital Printing Technology for Outstanding Print Quality

The quality of a printed product depends not only on the digital printing machine, but also on the appropriate printing technology and the materials used.

Individual colour profiles are used for each material. An integrated spectrophotometer performs automatic colour calibration and ensures reproducible print results. This keeps colours and print appearance consistent, even in repeat production.

Depending on the digital printing application, J. Schwarz processes materials including:

• Films
• Paper
• Banner materials
• Backlit films
• Acrylic glass
• Rigid foam boards
