Question

How do I decide between digital and offset printing?

Answer

The run size usually decides it. Digital wins on small, fast jobs, and offset earns its setup on large runs where color consistency matters.

MethodBest for
DigitalShort runs, roughly under 500, faster turnaround
OffsetLarge runs, roughly 1,000 and up, consistent color
  • Most small business orders land in digital territory
  • Offset setup cost only spreads out at higher volumes
  • Turnaround is generally quicker with digital
