When does offset printing make sense?
Offset holds the same color from the first piece to the last and reproduces fine text and photographs sharply. That is why it is the process used for packaging, stationery and brand materials.
It pays off on medium and large runs: setup happens once, and from there the cost per piece drops as the quantity grows.

Questions about offset print jobs
What is offset printing?
It is a printing process in which ink passes from a plate to a rubber blanket and from there to the paper. It gives even color and high sharpness on medium and large runs.
What is the difference between offset and digital printing?
Digital printing needs no plates and suits small quantities. Offset requires setup, but on medium and large runs it gives a better cost per piece and more consistent color.
What materials do you print on?
Paper, paperboard, cardboard and other substrates. Tell us how your piece will be used and we will recommend the material.
