Digital printing also known as Print-On-Demand or POD) which is great different from offset printing but it’s easier to understand. Digital printing works similar to your home printer, using toner instead of printing metal plates, like a large home laser or inkjet printer. This approach is best suited for short printing runs ( 1 to 1,00 units).
No setup costs
