What Is Offset Printing?
Offset printing is a complex and precise printing process that combines the use of high- end technology and a series of specific steps to produce consistent prints. Here’s how it works:
Step one: The first step includes a plate typically made of metal that is etched with the desired content for printing.
Step two: The ink plate then transfers or offsets the content to a rubber blanket.
Step three: The last step is transferring the content from the rubber blanket to the material of your choice.
Offset printing brings your ideas to life in a sophisticated way.

Versatility
With so many promotional materials widely used, offset printing allows you to print for a range of needs, paper types, and materials.
Cost-Efficiency
Offset printing is typically the most cost-efficient option if you need many prints. It’s more of an investment because costs are more significant upfront when compared to other printing services, but the price drops per unit as more prints are generated.
Offset Printing vs. Digital Printing
Digital printing's greatest strength is the ability to print variable data, meaning every printed piece can be personalized to the recipient. This includes text, images, colors -- anything that exists in a database.
Offset printing is better suited for large quantity needs because it will be less costly in the long run. Essentially, the main difference is that offset printing requires metal plates that play a crucial role in the transfer of ink to produce your content. Digital printing does not require this initial investment of metal plates and can typically have a faster turnaround time. If you only need a small quantity of printing, digital printing may be the way to go.
