DIGITAL
The value of short run digital printing is speed. This option is best suited for projects such as:
- Advance reader copies
- Gap fill-in between reprints
- Testing the market
When producing your books digitally, it’s vital to have properly prepared electronic files and select inventoried materials in order to keep costs down and improve speed times.
Digital print is typically used for quantities of 1 – 450. It may be more economical to print offset for quantities above 450. Speak to your
customer service representative to discuss the best option for your project goals.

OFFSET
For larger print runs, your best option may be offset printing. Your cost per copy will decrease as your print run gets larger. You will also have more options for trim sizes, bind styles, specialty printing techniques and you will enjoy a much better selection of materials to choose from.
