In this article, we will review the definition of reprographics and then take the measure of the place it occupies every day in our professional lives. To do this, we will review all the communication media that are subject to reprographic techniques.

Finally, we'll see that while reprography is an important part of our daily lives, it's often much more beneficial to use the reprographic services of a professional printer rather than just copying documents on the office printer. We have identified 5 main advantages of using a professional reprographer rather than dealing with an Nth paper jam!

What is reprography?

The term reprography designates any technical process, other than manual copying, which allows the reproduction of a graphic creation on a physical medium.

For a long time, reprography consisted in reproducing an original content realized on paper on one or more other sheets of paper. There are (or were) different reprography systems such as :

- Photocopying, which is the best known reprographic system, based on the principle of photography,

- the heliography or diazocopy which allows the copy of document by radiation on a specially treated paper,

- xerography, which works by cooking a powdered ink deposited on the paper by electric discharges modulated according to the original document.

Today, although we are still familiar with photocopying, digital printing has generally taken over these reprographic techniques. Professional printers, such as Copymage, use reprography to print your communication materials in a very large number of copies, as technological developments allow for lower reprographic costs and more elaborate and accessible finishing options.
