FAQs

Offset Printing uses full colour (CMYK), Special Colours (PMS) and varnish inks on plates, to transfer images and text onto paper. Offset printing is high quality and cost effective for large sizes and print runs.

Digital printing on the other hand uses toner to print in full colour (CMYK) but not Special Colours (PMS). However, the benefit of digital printing is that for short runs it is much more economical as there are no set up costs such as plates. Digital printing is quicker as it can be printed without the time associated with setting up offset machines and the toner is already fused so it does not take long to dry. Digital printing also gives the advantage of allowing you to personalise your collateral with each individual piece tailored to the respondent.

As a general rule, larger quantities are more suited to offset printing and smaller quantities that are needed in a faster turnaround suit digital printing. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, talk to your Scotts representative to work out what is right for you.
