Unlike digital printing, which is ideal for smaller projects, offset printing allows us to print thousands of pages efficiently.

Since offset presses require printing plates, there is an initial setup cost, but that cost is distributed over the entire print run. This means the per-piece cost decreases as volume increases, making offset printing a more economical choice for large-scale jobs. If you’re unsure whether offset or digital printing is the right option for your project, our experienced team is available to help you determine the best fit.

How Does Offset Printing Work?

Offset printing, also known as lithography, involves transferring an image from a digital file onto a printing plate. This modern direct-to-plate method eliminates the need for traditional film negatives, streamlining the process while maintaining sharp image reproduction.

Printing plates are separated into CMYK colors or black and white, depending on the project.

We recommend submitting offset print files in CMYK format for the best results. Our team is available to assist with file preparation and color adjustments as needed.

Once the image is transferred to the plate, ink is applied and then transferred to a rubber sheet before rolling onto the paper. This method produces crisp, vibrant prints that maintain consistency across high-volume runs. Offset printing continues to set the standard for professional-grade print materials.

Products That Work Best with Offset Printing

Offset printing is ideal for any project requiring high-volume production, including:

• Annual reports
• Magazines and catalogs
• Booklets and brochures
• Posters
• High-quantity business cards
• Custom packaging and labels

Orders of 2,500 pieces or more are typically best suited for offset printing. Additionally, the large-format capabilities of offset presses allow for flexibility in sizing, full-color printing, and a variety of finishing options to enhance the final product.

Customization options include coatings for added durability, specialty paper choices, and binding methods such as saddle stitching, perfect binding, or wire-o binding.
