In a nutshell, lithographic print uses wet inks and printing plates to produce print, digital print uses dry powder toner fused at a high temperature onto the sheet.
With the latest digital presses on the market giving near lithographic quality, the digital process, as a general rule of thumb, is quicker and financially more suitable for the shorter print runs.
However, there comes a point when the cost of litho and digital meet, and as the quantity grows, lithographic becomes a more cost effective option. We are fortunate to be able to offer both processes, and always ensure that each job is looked at individually, and priced accordingly to give the customer the best price we can.
There are exceptions to this, some jobs are suited more to lithographic print, it could be the weight of the material required is too thick for the digital press, the size of the sheet required is too big, and sometimes it could be that the content of the print just isn’t suited to the digital process, although this is a rare occurrence.
