Choosing between Offset and Digital Printing Offset Printing

Large Run Printing, Larger Format Sizes, Specialized Colors and Finishes
Offset printing has changed little since the original steam powered offset press was first developed in 1906. It involves a process of applying layers of ink to paper with a series of rollers. Each roller has its own specified ink – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black – or CMYK. As each of these rollers pass over the page, they transfer ink and build layers of colors. This results in complete images and text on the page. Additionally, they specialize in colors called Pantones or PMS colors that can be added to the layout if needed.
Offset presses can print PMS and utilize gloss and mate varnishes for additional texture. Multiple press “heads” allow for an infinite array of colors and printing techniques.

Digital Printing

Short Run Printing, Variable Data, Fast Turnaround Times
Digital printing eliminates the numerous steps involved in the offset printing process, for example creating films and plates for ink rollers. Most digital presses today apply ink in a single pass from a single ink head, similar to common inkjet printers found in homes or offices.

Many different considerations will determine which method is best, such as quantity, timing, and size of the printed piece. Offset printing is commonly used for higher quantity, larger format jobs while digital printing is best applied to smaller format, lesser quantity print runs. LV Print Center's production department takes all these variables and more into consideration to determine the best possible printing method.
