Ushicilelo lwedijithali lubhekisa kwiindlela zoshicilelo ukusuka kumfanekiso osekwe kwidijithali ngokuthe ngqo kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zemidiya.[1] Idla ngokubhekisa kushicilelo lobuchwephesha apho imisebenzi emincinci esuka kupapasho lwedesktop kunye neminye imithombo yedijithali ishicilelwe kusetyenziswa ifomathi enkulu kunye/okanye i-laser enomthamo ophezulu okanye abashicileli be-inkjet. Ukuprintwa kwedijithali kuneendleko eziphezulu kwiphepha ngalinye kuneendlela zokushicilela ze-offset zendabuko, kodwa eli xabiso lidla ngokunciphisa iindleko zawo onke amanyathelo obugcisa afunekayo ukwenza amacwecwe okushicilela. Ikwavumela ushicilelo olufunekayo, ixesha elifutshane lokujika, kunye nokuguqulwa komfanekiso (idatha eguquguqukayo) esetyenziselwa umboniso ngamnye.[2] Ukongiwa emsebenzini kunye namandla asoloko enyuka kooshicilelo bedijithali kuthetha ukuba ushicilelo lwedijithali lufikelela kwinqanaba apho lunokungqamanisa okanye luthabathe indawo yesakhono soshicilelo loshicilelo lwe-offset lokuvelisa ushicilelo olukhulu lwamawaka aliqela amaphepha ngexabiso eliphantsi.

Umahluko omkhulu phakathi koshicilelo lwedijithali kunye neendlela zemveli ezifana ne-lithography, i-flexography, i-gravure, okanye i-letterpress kukuba akukho mfuneko yokutshintsha iipleyiti zokushicilela kwi-digital printing, ngelixa kushicilelo lwe-analog iipleyiti zitshintshwa ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Oku kukhokelela kwixesha elikhawulezayo lokutshintsha kunye neendleko eziphantsi xa usebenzisa ushicilelo lwedijithali, kodwa ngokuqhelekileyo ilahleko yeenkcukacha zomfanekiso ocolekileyo luninzi lweenkqubo zoshicilelo lwedijithali. Ezona ndlela zidumileyo ziquka i-inkjet okanye abashicileli belaser abafaka i-pigment okanye i-toner kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zesubstrates eziquka iphepha, iphepha lefoto, iseyile, iglasi, intsimbi, ibhastile, kunye nezinye izinto.

Kwiinkqubo ezininzi, i-inki okanye i-toner ayingeni kwi-substrate, njengoko i-inki eqhelekileyo, kodwa yenza umaleko obhityileyo kumphezulu onokuthi unamathele kwi-substrate ngokusebenzisa i-fuser fluid kunye nenkqubo yokushisa (i-toner) okanye i-UV. inkqubo yokunyanga (inki).

Kushicilelo lwedijithali, umfanekiso uthunyelwa ngokuthe ngqo kumshicileli kusetyenziswa iifayile zedijithali ezifana neePDF kunye nezo zisuka kwisoftware yemizobo efana ne-Illustrator kunye ne-InDesign. Oku kuphelisa imfuneko yepleyiti yokushicilela, esetyenziswa ekushicileleni ngeoffset, enokonga imali nexesha.

Ngaphandle kwesidingo sokwenza ipleyiti, ushicilelo lwedijithali luzise amaxesha okutshintsha ngokukhawuleza kunye nokushicilela ngokwemfuno. Endaweni yokushicilela imitsi emikhulu, esele imiselwe, izicelo zinokwenziwa kancinci njengoshicilelo olunye. Ngelixa ushicilelo lweoffset lusadla ngokukhokelela kushicilelo olungcono kancinane, iindlela zedijithali kusetyenzwa kuzo ngesantya esikhawulezayo ukuphucula umgangatho kunye neendleko eziphantsi.
