Digital vs. Offset
Offset printing uses plates and inks to image onto paper. The makeready process of offset varies, but often requires 20-30 minutes to burn the plates, as well as time to mount, register the plates, and bring the output "up to color". It often takes an hour or more to print a single page. Once up and running however, the economies and speed of offset printing for print runs over 750 pages typically will be better than digital processes.

Digital Printing uses a different technology altogether. It images typically with very fine toner. The time it takes to image the first page is usually well under a minute. This technology makes short runs, or runs from 1 to about 750 impressions less expensive, as well as quicker to produce than offset printing.
