Reproduction of materials requires use of machines. This machine is known as a digital printer. It has the ability of reproducing various types of documents including photographs. They come in several designs which can be used in various ways and forms. The press requires them to carry on with their activities well. Thus, they are very useful and important in several ways.

Depending on the choice the user has, there are different types of press machines available. They produce images and words using electronic files and dots. Different machines can be used to achieve production of press work. Laser, dry toner and inkjet machines being the most common. Automatic press devices are synced to produce smoothly finished photos.

Automated machines do convert material being produced to computer enabled form. This enables the press machine perform various functions and execute instructions that are issued to it. The image or words are mostly manipulated to computerized form through software. For images in most cases, they are fed to the computerized press machine through scanners or through external hard drives of computer systems.

Laser press machines use a technique that uses pulses of light from laser beams. They create images on a light sensitive surface. It is in form of burning press papers. Dot matrix machines use technology that uses dots to produce images on the papers. Technology used is similar to that of a photocopier. It is based on the principle of attraction of opposite charges that are produced electronically.

Inkjets press instruments use small droplets of dye. This is used in creation of image on press paper. In it, there are droplets that are automatically controlled. This can be done in three different types, continuous drips, thermal flow on demand or electric flow on demand. Liquid dye is forced out of cartridges directly onto the paper that is being pressed.

The droplets coming from these devices do so in very tiny microns. That is why the use of inkjet press devices is recommended. They have the ability of producing such documents in a photographic nature. This is why press companies prefer using them. However, the inkjet devices are quite costly as compared to matrix and laser devices.

There are various advantages that come with automated press devices. Those working in busy offices save time since they are mostly quick in production of documents. They are also economical in press working since they do use less resources for example less ink. Various materials can be pressed on for example manila papers and clothing in textile industry. Most professional press companies such as book publishing do prefer using automated devices in press work.

Documents produced by a digital printer that is automated have a range of ways that can be protected and preserved for long. Lamination and ink choice area are used to suit the preservation of documents. These are used in finishing and protection of pressed photos. Environmental factors such as dust, heat and moisture are kept at bay. Automatic press devices allow for changing of dye to suit images. Retouching and manipulation of documents are some of the services press devices perform using programs like Adobe Photoshop.
