Fast, High-Quality Offset Printing For Tampa

Whether it’s a large-scale production of marketing brochures for a Tampa Bay corporate event or extensive catalog printing for local industries, Thomas Group Printing is your go-to offset printing source for businesses in Tampa. We are committed to delivering exceptional offset printing services with professionalism, attention to detail, and, importantly, free delivery within the Tampa area.

Unlike digital printing, which suits smaller-scale projects, offset printing allows us to efficiently handle thousands of pages per print run.

This scalability not only ensures affordability but also decreases the cost per piece as the quantity increases. Although initial expenses are involved in creating printing plates and setting up the press, these costs become significantly more economical as the volume increases. Offset printing becomes notably cost-effective for printing thousands of copies, unlike digital printing, where the cost remains constant regardless of volume.

If you’re uncertain about the best printing option for your Tampa-based project, our expert press team is here to guide you through the decision-making process.

How Does Offset Printing Work?

This process, also referred to as lithography, involves transferring an image onto a printing plate directly from the image file, a technique known as direct-to-plate or computer-to-plate offset printing.

This modern method eliminates the need for developing film negatives. We separate the plates into CMYK colors or can opt for black only, hence we prefer receiving your image files in CMYK format for offset jobs.

Contact our press team for more specifics.

From the printing plates, the image is transferred to a flexible rubber sheet on the press, which then applies ink onto the paper, creating the final image.

Although it sounds intricate, this method yields clear, defined images at high volumes and speeds, outperforming digital printing in both flexibility and precision.

Products That Work With Offset Printing

Offset printing is versatile and suitable for various high-volume print products like reports, catalogs, magazines, posters, and books. It’s particularly effective for orders exceeding 2,500 pieces.

Our Tampa clients often utilize offset printing for annual reports, brochures, booklets, and other significant projects.

The large paper sheets used in offset printing also offer flexibility in size, allowing for larger products. We offer full-color printing, spot color, and coatings for product quality protection.

Various paper options are available, and we can customize finishing options like saddle-stitching, folding, or binding as per your requirements.
