What’s the difference between digital printing and offset printing?
The real value of digital is the speed in which we are able to turn around your books. Typical run lengths for digitally produced books are 1 to 400. Once you get above that 400 mark, it might make more economic sense to print your title using our offset equipment. Using offset will usually keep your total cost per unit down as it is typically used for much larger runs – 400+ units. You will also have more options for materials, trim sizes, bind styles and specialty printing techniques using offset. With that said, there is a lot that goes into the decision to produce offset vs. digital; please contact your customer service representative to see which option is best for you.
