What do you mean with digital printing ?

There is offset printing (large press, large volume), will not fit in
a small shop.
The plates for offset can be prepared digitally.

Then there is inkjet printing (large format, posters, on special
materials, signs, packaging, not your typical household inkjet
printer).
The preparation (prepress) for inkjet is only digital AFAIK.

And then you have the old-fashioned ways of printing, where the
preparation for printing is not done digitally.
