Digital printing is changing the face of commercial printing. Just as many other technologies have made a transition for analogue to digital (video and photography being examples) rendering the former technology somewhat obsolete, we firmly believe that lithographic offset printing will over the long-term, go the same way. However for the foreseeable future, the technologies are complementary, and provide an avenue for greater flexibility in what can be achieved both technically and economically. Digital printing negates the need for film or plates, allowing for greater speed and flexibility in the printing process. Print runs can be personalized for targeted marketing or sales applications. The technology introduces cost savings on print quantities previously economically unfeasible using traditional offset. There are clear advantages to digital printing at many points along the workflow yet, for the foreseeable future, lithographic and digital offset will coexist as complimentary technologies - print clients will benefit from using both. Digital offset printing, in terms of the finished product, is essentially no different to good quality lithographic offset printing. The differences are manifested in the processes used to produce the finished product. Viewed together, the products of digital offset and four-colour offset printing should be the same to the naked eye. In some cases, good digital printing exceeds the quality of average offset printing. Digital printing service gives you the opportunity to produce the highest quality sales, marketing, and promotional materials with costs, quantities and turnarounds to suit you.

Offset printing, is a method of mass-production printing in which the images on metal plates are transferred (offset) to rubber blankets or rollers and then to the print media. The print media, usually paper, does not come into direct contact with the metal plates. This prolongs the life of the plates. In addition, the flexible rubber conforms readily to the print media surface, allowing the process to be used effectively on rough-surfaced media such as canvas, cloth or wood. The main advantage of offset printing is its high and consistent image quality. The process can be used for small, medium or high-volume jobs. There are two types of offset printing machines in common use for publication today. In sheet-fed offset printing, individual pages of paper are fed into the machine. The pages can be pre-cut to the final publication size or trimmed after printing.
