Question
Which printing method suits which marketing job?
Answer
Each printing method brings a different strength to marketing, so the "best" one depends on the effect you want. Some methods win on color consistency at scale, others on personalization or a tactile feel that makes people hold on to the piece.
- Offset: consistent brand color across large campaigns, ideal for high volumes.
- Digital: variable data and personalization that lift direct mail response.
- Letterpress: a deep, tactile impression that turns a business card into a keepsake.
- Wide-format inkjet: large trade-show and event graphics that read from across a room.
| Method | Signature strength |
|---|---|
| Offset | Color consistency at scale |
| Digital | Personalization, short runs |
| Letterpress | Tactile, premium feel |
| Wide-format | Big, attention-grabbing display |
