Digital printing removes most of the stages of traditional print: no film, no plates, no long make-ready, so a job starts immediately and can change from one copy to the next at no extra cost. That makes it the natural choice for medium runs and for work that has to move fast or be personalised per customer.
Traditional press work makes no sense below a certain quantity — the make-ready alone consumes the job. And an office printer falls short on quality, colour consistency and duty cycle. Work that falls in between — brochures, catalogues, proposals, files personalised per client — is exactly what digital production printing was built for.
The key difference between an office device and a production one is not speed — it is that copy 500 comes out identical to copy 1. Production devices carry continuous calibration and control over feed and fusing precisely for that. For any work that will be seen side by side — a catalogue, brand material, samples — that consistency is a requirement, not a luxury.
A large share of production work in Egypt is large format: engineering and architectural drawings for consultancies, posters and presentation boards, and fine art and professional photography. The imagePROGRAF range covers both directions — one line for CAD, one for imaging — and the choice depends on the nature of your work rather than the size.
When you regularly print quantities that fall outside both a commercial press and an office device, or when colour consistency is a requirement of your work. We calculate the cost per page on your real print mix before recommending anything.
Yes — supply includes installation and training on operation and colour management. These devices need to be operated correctly to deliver their output, so training is part of the supply, not an add-on.
Yes, and we strongly recommend them in this category. Downtime on a production device stops your clients' work, not just your own, so proactive maintenance matters far more than on office equipment.
