digital printer

Computerized page producer

A digital printer produces physical output directly from electronic files, without intermediate steps like photographic plates or film.

The term covers desktop inkjet and laser printers as well as commercial printing equipment.

Digital printing enables print-on-demand and short runs that would be impractical with traditional offset methods: We used a digital printer for the wedding invitations.
