Why Offset Printing Is Perfect For Your Needs

While many companies might have a digital printer in their office, these are very rarely up to scratch when it comes to printing out large quantities of material. If you are creating flyers, newsletters or even reports for an annual convention, then you may need high-quality printing resources to fill your needs. Look no further than an offset printing press. Offset printing presses have been around for a long time for one reason: the process works better and more efficiently than virtually any other form of printing. Here are a few reasons why you should swap to an offset printing press for your next order. 

Better Colour 

Digital printers can be very finicky when you need higher quantities. Not only can one particular colour of ink run low and spoil the entire run, but the components in the printer itself do not stand up to long shifts in use. An offset printing press, however, uses stronger materials, a different and far more accurate ink transfer method, and virtually never runs out of ink while on the job. If you want your first pamphlet or greeting card to look as good as the 10,000th, then you need to use offset printing or you risk getting a subpar product.

Different Canvas Sizes

Digital printers can pretty much only print one or two different lengths of paper. An offset printing press has no such reservations and can print on any sized paper you want, from tiny calling cards to huge designs that cover a whole storey. If you have a particularly unique need, then don't try and squeeze it out of a machine that is not built for that purpose, use an offset printing press and get the right size every time. 

The More You Print The Cheaper It Gets

Digital printing has a set cost per unit that doesn't really change, and if anything, it gets more expensive to print large batches due to the increased likelihood of mechanical failure. On the other hand, offset printing costs go down when it comes to larger runs. Because the machine takes a lot more effort and materials to calibrate, it gets cheaper when it comes to bigger orders as it does not need to constantly be reset or updated. If you have a very large run of 100,000 pieces or more, then often an offset printing press will be your only realistic financial option.
