What are the differences between digital and offset printing?
The advantage of digital printing is best realized on short runs, where a fast turnaround at a low cost is needed. Expensive set-up costs apply to offset printing, that do not apply to digital because these steps are eliminated in the digital printing process, making it the most economical solution for short runs. On longer runs, offset printing is often the best alternative. The #1 disadvantage of the offset printing process is the longer production and set-up time required.
