What are digital and offset printing?

Offset printing, also known as offset lithography or litho-offset, is a commonly utilised printing technique where ink is applied onto a rubber cylinder before being inked and transferred to paper or other desired surfaces.

Digital printing, on the other hand, utilises technologies like toners in laser printers or larger printers that work with liquid ink. There is no need for a printing plate like those utilised in offset printing.

When do we use digital or offset printing?

It isn’t just the technology that is different; digital and offset printing both offer different advantages that can be utilised for different purposes.

Offset printing works best in high-volume printing services as it allows for large quantities to be printed at a lower cost. In fact, the more you print, the cheaper the price per piece becomes. This creates printed materials with great detail and high colour fidelity.

Digital printing, on the other hand, is often used when lower quantities of printed material are required, such as quantity range from 50pcs to 1000pcs. It also allows for unique individual prints (if each brochure or flyer needs a unique name, code or other necessary details) as we can do variable data before printing.
