Tips On Selecting A New Offset Printer

By John Yip

Offset printing is a popular form of printing services and it has been in application since the'th century. This printing technology uses a two step approach, which involves getting the impression on a rubber plate from a lithographic press and then on to the printing material by transporting it from the rubber plate.

The quality attained through offset printing is better than that obtained from the regular kind of lithographic printing. Nowadays, any good printing company offers offset printing services and you can easily find a good quality offset printer around your neighbourhood.

Offset printing is usually costlier than digital printing services for lesser volumes and this is because it involves a lot of work even before the first sheet of paper is printed. But, if you are ordering in large volume, then offset printing is the most appropriate option as it is highly inexpensive in such a scenario. The benefit of offset printing is the low running expense which more than balances for the higher set up costs incurred at the beginning. Hence, for large volume orders offset printing is more appropriate and cost effective than digital printing services.

Selecting an offset printing company should be done on the basis of some key considerations. By virtue of it being very distinctive from the straightforward method of digital printing, all the choices in offset printing can be very difficult to grasp for a non-expert. So, it is best to work with a printing company which is eager to offer you technical support for choosing the correct specifications for your print jobs.

Further, you should also ask the printing company to let you avail supplementary printing services such as getting design services for your print jobs, and letting you view a sample before the actual bulk printing begins. Lastly, the printing company should be willing to provide you good rates for your print jobs, so that you can use their printing services on an ongoing basis. - 2364
