You're looking to having some printing work done and you've heard of digital printing and offset printing.
But what’s the difference?
Digital printers resemble the workings of your desktop laser printer, but on an extremely large scale and with color monitoring. They have the capabilities of producing hundreds of printouts in a matter of minutes.
These printers use your standard cartridges of CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). A few other advantages include short turnaround times if you are in a hurry, low prices, and upfront costs for low volume printing, and consistent printing with very little variation.
Offset printing is done by using a plate to transfer ink from a rubber cylinder onto paper. Advantages of using offset printing include lower prices for high volume printing compared to digital, superior image quality that is sharp and clean, the ability to print on virtually almost any paper or surface, and exact color match using the Pantone system.
We at Minuteman Press use both kinds of printing, depending on the job, turnaround time, customer preference, cost, materials, etc.
