Offset Printing
Offset printing for premium printing jobs, that require extreme attention to detail. Best for large quantity print runs providing accurate color reproduction, and a crisp clean professional looking prints. We offer offset printing for specialty print products including calendars, large print media, and booklets.
What is offset printing?
Offset printing technology uses plates, usually made from aluminum, which are used to transfer an image onto a rubber "blanket", and then rolling that image onto a sheet of paper. It's called offset because the ink is not transferred directly onto the paper. Because offset presses run so efficiently once they are set up, offset printing is the best choice when larger quantities are needed, and provides accurate color reproduction, and crisp, clean professional looking printing.
Digital Printing
Digital printing doesn't use plates the way offset does, but instead uses options such as toner (like in laser printers) or larger printers that do use liquid ink. Digital printing shines when lower quantities are needed; think of a run of 20 greeting cards or 100 flyers. Another benefit of digital printing is it's variable data capability. When each piece needs a unique code, name or address, digital is the only way to go. Offset printing cannot accommodate this need.
Which is best for you?
While offset printing is a fantastic way to produce greatlooking print projects, many businesses or individuals do not need large runs of 500 or more, and the best solution is digital printing.
