Digital Printing in most cases is usually a system where your digital arts where printed for a printer without seeing a a lot of process.

Sorts of Printheads - there's two types, one is what we called binary and also the other is exactly what we called greyscale.

Binary Printheads are the one with just one drop size, when you have a 35pl dot size nozzle, it's going to only drop 35 pl, hence if you have a CMYK color combination printhead, the you get 4 colors. Unlike Greyscale Printheads this has different amounts of drop size. When there is a 6 pl nozzle and you've got 8 numbers of Greyscale, this means that it's going to drop variable sizes of inks from 6pl to 42pl (6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 42pl). This imply that certain printhead can have 7 different color. then when you have a CMYK greyscale printheads it's going to create 28 different color thus creating a more vivid color and better visual resolution compared to the binary heads.
