Digital Printing Options

With electrophotography, ink or toner gets placed into the image area of a print job through an electric charge. Electrophotographic presses place a charge in the shape of the image area for a given color on a special imaging plate surface. Toner or ink create the image based on their attraction to the charged area of the surface. From there, the HP Indigo printing process somewhat resembles analog offset or flexo printing: The charged particles in each color are transferred to the page using an impression roller that takes the image from the plate and then applies them to the substrate.
