6. What is the difference between digital and offset printing?

   Offset printing is a process where an inked image is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket then onto paper. While offset printing can take longer to set-up than a digital press it offers a high quality and cost effective solution for larger production runs.

   Digital Printing involves the production of an image digitally onto a drum which is then transferred via toner to paper. Digital printing is very economical for shorter print runs as there are no set up costs such as plates and the toner is already fused so it does not take long to dry. Digital printing also allows you to tailor each individual piece to the respondent by changing names, numbers and almost any information.

   Overall, digital printing is best for smaller runs and offset printing is better suited to larger runs however, there can be exceptions so speak to the team at Gateway Printing today and find out which is right for you.
