Where quality meets experience

For larger print runs, offset printing is generally the more suitable option, while digital printing is better suited for smaller quantities that require a faster turnaround time.

Of course there are exceptions to the rule, talk to your Elect Printing representative to work out what is right for you.

Digital printing and offset printing are two popular methods used in the printing industry.

While both techniques produce high-quality prints, there are some key differences between them.

Digital printing is a modern printing method that involves transferring digital files directly onto the printing surface.

It uses advanced technology to print images and text with precision and accuracy. This method is ideal for smaller quantities of prints, as it offers a quick turnaround time.

Digital printing is also cost-effective for short print runs, as there are no setup costs involved.

The technology enables customisation and personalisation, making it well-suited for variable data printing applications like personalised direct mail campaigns and individualised marketing materials.

Offset Printing Canberra

On the other hand, offset printing is a traditional printing technique that involves transferring ink from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing surface.

It is best suited for larger quantities of prints, as the setup costs are higher but the per-unit cost decreases with higher volumes.

Offset printing offers a wide range of colour options and produces vibrant and consistent prints.

It is commonly used for commercial printing, such as brochures, catalogues, and magazines.

Things to consider

When deciding between digital and offset printing, it is important to consider your specific printing needs.

If you require a small quantity of prints with a quick turnaround, digital printing is the way to go.

However, if you need a large volume of prints and can afford a slightly longer production time, offset printing may be more cost-effective in the long run.

Ultimately, the choice between digital and offset printing depends on factors such as quantity, turnaround time, budget, and desired print quality.

One of the biggest differences between large format printing and standard printing is the size of the finished product. Large-format prints are typically much larger than standard prints, making them ideal for materials that need to be seen from a distance or require a lot of space. Large format also typically uses inks instead of dry toner. Perfect for posters and signage. Elect provide High Quality Large Format printing.
