Verdict:
​
Offset printing’s versatility is undeniable, but its efficiency truly blossoms with high-volume projects. The significant upfront costs and longer production cycles of offset printing render it less practical for smaller print runs.
Digital printing, conversely, excels in speed and cost-effectiveness for low-quantity jobs, eliminating setup overhead and reducing waste, however, the resulting color accuracy & vibrancy may not equal that of offset printing.
