What is the difference… Creasing vs. Scoring
One of the problems with digital printing is that the toner-based process tends to crack when folded. This cracking can be eliminated by creasing. Many today are misinformed and assume that Creasing and Scoring are the same thing when they are completely different.
What is creasing? Creasing is the process that prepares the printed stock to be folded by using two parallel dies that mark the paper on impact creating “embossed” lines. Because printed stock on a digital machine is heated so that the toner can be fused onto the paper, the stock dries out and causes it to crack. By creasing you are reducing the stress that is put on the stock and you eliminate cracking.
What is scoring? Scoring is done by a machine which uses rotary blades that are in constant circular motion as the stock passes through. This process actually cuts through the fibers of the stock and weakens the stock and therefore it causes cracking.
So if you’re printing on a digital machine, take a bite out of the nuisance of cracking by adding a SHARK creaser to your shop.
