Print talk: what’s the difference between digital and offset printing?

Whether you want a catalog, brochure, book or other printed material created: choices abound! Today we answer a common question: what is the difference between digital and offset printing?

Digital printing šŸ–Øļø

Digital printing is like a super-fast printer: instantly ready for action.

Perfect if you:

  • want to have small print runs;
  • need quick results;
  • Want to personalize each print (e.g., name or unique number).
  • No long preparations, just high-quality printed matter that reaches you quickly.

Offset printing šŸ–‹ļø

Offset printing is ideal for those who want large runs and high quality. Here we use printing plates and ink transferred to paper through a rubber blanket.

Advantages:

  • costs some preparation, but is then advantageous for large runs;
  • top quality and luxurious workmanship;
  • perfect for books, catalogs and brochures.
