Digital printing doesn’t use plates the way offset does, but instead uses options such as toner (like in laser printers) or larger printers that do use liquid ink. Digital printing shines when lower quantities are needed; think of a run of 20 greeting cards or 100 flyers. When each piece needs a unique code, name or address, digital is the only way to go. Offset printing cannot accommodate this need.

While offset printing is a fantastic way to produce great-looking print projects, many businesses or individuals do not need large runs of 500 or more, and the best solution is digital printing.

What are the Advantages of Digital Printing:
• Setup costs are lower for short runs
• Print only the amount you need, when you need it
• Lower minimum quantities (as low as 1, 20 or 50 pieces)
• Variable data capability (names, addresses, codes or numbering can be done easily)
• Improved technology has made digital quality acceptable for more uses
