One of the most common questions we get at Priya Prints is: "Should I choose Offset or Digital printing?" The answer depends entirely on your quantity and timeline.
When to Choose Offset Printing
Offset printing is the gold standard for high-volume jobs. It involves transferring ink from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the paper.
- Cost-Effective for Bulk: Once the plates are made, the cost per unit drops significantly. Ideal for orders over 1,000 units.
- Superior Quality: Produces sharp, clean images and type.
- Paper Variety: Works on a wider range of paper surfaces (rough, smooth, textured).
When to Choose Digital Printing
Digital printing skips the plates and prints directly from a file, similar to your office laser printer but at a much higher quality.
- Speed: Faster turnaround for urgent jobs.
- Variable Data: Perfect if each piece needs a unique code or name.
- Low MOQ: Cost-effective for small batches (100-500 units).
