Offset printing technology often utilizes plates that are usually made from aluminum, which are used to transfer an image onto a rubber “blanket”. It is then that the image is rolled onto a sheet of paper. In this technology, the ink is not transferred directly onto the paper and hence it is called as “offset printing”. It is efficient and is mostly preferred while making larger orders. It provides accurate color reproduction, and gives a clear and accurate image of the printing. Digital printing instead uses liquid ink options such as toner (like in laser printers) or larger printers. The advantage of digital printing is its variable data capability. It is usually used when a product needs unique code, name, or address.
