When it comes to printing today you have several options, but which is best? Well, the reality is that it all depends on specific needs of your project on whether to go with traditional offset printing or if you should opt for digital printing. Many jobs simply lend themselves better for digital printing while other jobs are better fit for traditional offset printing. We have highlighted a few pros and cons for digital printing and offset printing below.


Digital Printing
There is no doubt that the traditional printing press revolutionalized the business community forever. However, since the invention of the original printing press, people have always wanted a way to print short-run four-color jobs. Before the introduction of digital printing technology such as the Indigo, Docucolor and Heidelberg, it just wasn't possible. Four color printing in small quantities just wasn't cost-effective enough to produce. With the invention of digital printing technology, the printing industry was truly revolutionalized once again. It was now possible to print short runs quickly at a reasonable price. As technology continued to advance the Heidelberg Quickmaster DI was introduced to the printing world. With digital printing on the scene, it brought with it the very solution that many business's needed and a viable printing solution that most wouldn't dream of doing without!

Offset Printing
Although digital printing has made tremendous progress and does seriously rival its predicesor (traditional offset printing), it does not mean that offset printing is now obsolete. Far from it! Although, some speculate that the need for traditional offset printing will soon be eliminated with further advancements in digital printing, we understand that this may still be many years away, if ever. Some printing jobs are more naturally suited for offset printing simply because of the large quantities and possibly the oversized nature of the job. Often times it still proves to be much more cost effective to print large-runs using a traditional press. However, it really depends on the specifications of each job.
