QuoteWe recommend that you use offset printing if:
Quality is your main concern.
You require high-volume printing (e.g., more than 250 business cards and 1000 brochures).
You want to print on paper thicker than 14 pt.
The size of the finished product is larger then 12"x18".
We recommend that you use digital printing if:
You need a short turnaround time (shorter than 5 business days).
You require low-volume printing (e.g., less than 250 business cards and 1000 brochures).
You need variable data printing.
Offset printing is a technique where the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process (which is based on the repulsion of oil and water), the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a film of water, keeping the non-printing area ink-free.
Consistent high-quality images.
Offset printing produces sharper and cleaner images and type than digital printing. The print quality is generally better than in digital printing.
Works on a wide range of printing surfaces, including paper, wood, cloth, metal, leather, rough paper and plastic.
Cheaper for high volume printing. The overall price per printed piece drops.
Wide color gamut. Offset printing can accurately reproduce colors from the Pantone Matching System, while digital methods only simulate Pantone color using four-color printing.
Digital printing is a method of printing in which the data and images are printed directly from the computer onto paper.
Cheaper low volume printing. While the unit cost of each piece may be higher than with offset printing, when setup costs are included digital printing provides lower per unit costs for small print runs.
Faster turnaround time.
Variable data printing.
Better for the environment. Digital printing uses dry ink or toner, which doesn't emit any VOCs in printing. Also, this printing method produces much less paper waste than offset, because the set-up time is shorter.
More accurate proofing.
The quality difference can vary from almost negligible to significant. Most photographs and text will reproduce well on our high-end digital press. However, if a job has large solid areas of color, offset printing will achieve much better print quality. Although we print on the best digital presses available on the market, we cannot guarantee offset-quality printing on all short run jobs.
