Offset Printing Advantages
Traditional offset printing is produced on a printing press using printing plates and wet ink. Offset printing traditionally produces the highest quality available on the widest variety of stocks and offers the highest degree of control over color. Further, offset printing is the most economical choice when producing large numbers of prints of a few originals.
If you are using variable data throughout your print job, you may look into doing black plate changes or utilizing digital printing for personalizing your pre-printed offset printed shells.
Reduced Costs
Typically, the break-even point vs digital printing is around 1000 – 1500 prints. The more you print with offset, the more affordable it becomes.
