Digital kudhinda kunoreva nzira dzekudhinda kubva padigital-based image zvakananga kune zvakasiyana-siyana zvezvinobudisa nhau.[1] Kazhinji inoreva kudhinda kwehunyanzvi uko mabasa madiki-anomhanya kubva padesktop yekutsikisa uye mamwe masosi edhijitari anodhindwa achishandisa hombe-fomati uye/kana yakakwirira-vhoriyamu laser kana inkjet printa. Kudhinda nedhijitari kune mutengo wakakwira papeji pane dzimwe nzira dzechinyakare dzekudhindisa offset, asi mutengo uyu unowanzo gadziriswa nekunzvenga mutengo wematanho ese ehunyanzvi anodiwa kugadzira ndiro dzekutsikirira. Inobvumirawo kudhindwa kwe-inodiwa, nguva pfupi yekuchinja, uye kunyange kugadziridzwa kwemufananidzo (dhata rakasiyana) rinoshandiswa pachiratidzo chega chega.[2] Kuchengetedzwa kwevashandi uye kugona kuri kuramba kuchiwedzera kwemichina yedhijitari inoreva kuti kudhinda kwedhijitari kwave kusvika pakukwanisa kuenzana kana kukunda kugona kwetekinoroji yekudhinda kugadzira mapeji makuru ezviuru zvakati wandei nemutengo wakaderera.

Musiyano mukuru pakati pekudhinda kwedhijitari uye nzira dzechinyakare dzakadai selithography, flexography, gravure, kana letterpress ndeyekuti hapana chikonzero chekutsiva mahwendefa ekudhinda mukudhinda kwedhijitari, nepo mukudhinda kweanalogi mahwendefa anodzokororwa kutsiviwa. Izvi zvinoguma nekukasika nguva yekuchinja uye mutengo wakaderera paunenge uchishandisa kudhinda kwedhijitari, asi kazhinji kurasikirwa kwechimwe chinyorwa chemifananidzo yakanaka nemaitiro mazhinji ekutengeserana edhijitari. Nzira dzinonyanyozivikanwa dzinosanganisira inkjet kana laser printers inoisa pigment kana toner pane dzakasiyana siyana substrates dzinosanganisira bepa, bepa remufananidzo, canvas, girazi, simbi, marble, uye zvimwe zvinhu.

Mune akawanda emaitiro, iyo inki kana toner haipindi musubstrate, sezvinoita inki yakajairwa, asi inoumba danda rakatetepa pamusoro iro rinogona kuwedzera kunamatira kune substrate nekushandisa fuser fluid ine kupisa process (toner) kana UV. kurapa nzira (inki).

Mukudhinda kwedhijitari, chifananidzo chinotumirwa chakananga kuprinta uchishandisa mafaera edhijitari akadai sePDF uye aya anobva kumagraphic software senge Illustrator uye InDesign. Izvi zvinobvisa kudiwa kwendiro yekutsikirira, iyo inoshandiswa mukudhinda kweoffset, iyo inogona kuchengetedza mari nenguva.

Pasina kukosha kwekugadzira ndiro, kudhinda kwedhijitari kwakaunza kukurumidza kutendeuka nguva uye kudhinda pane kudiwa. Panzvimbo pekudhinda miitiro mikuru, yakafanotemerwa, zvikumbiro zvinogona kuitwa zvishoma sedhinda rimwe chete. Nepo kudhinda kweoffset kuchiri kunowanzoita kuti pave nekadhinda yemhando iri nani zvishoma, nzira dzedhijitari dziri kushandiswa nekukurumidza kuvandudza kunaka uye kuderera kwemitengo.
