Digital printing is a fresh printing technique for printing posters. It became popular around 1991, following the success of the IRIS printer. By the time other printing machines also became popular like Epson and Kodak.
Digital printing refers to the process of giving ink particles a charge, then directing the charge to the certain place being used.
Generally, digital printing is used for shorter runs, and less often for poster printing.
