Digital vs Offset

The Big Question. Which is better, Offset Printing or Digital Printing? This segment might clear up a few things. And if you're still confused, contact us! We have equipment to handle both kinds of jobs, so we'll try to be as unbiased as possible.

Advantages of Offset Lithography (Offset Printing)

  • Pantone Spot Colors:

Offset Printing can be done through common CMYK process or in very rare cases, when the client requires extremely specefic Pantone Spot Colors, such special inks can be used. Pantone spot color usage is expensive as compared to regular CMYK process.

  • High Quality:

Offset Printing offers a very high quality output on a wide variety of substrates.

  • High Volume Jobs and Cost:

The Offset Printing method can produce a very large volume of prints in short time. At such high quantities, the cost per copy is very low and is very cost effective.

Advantages of HP Indigo Digital Printing

  • Pantone Color Matching

HP Indigo has inbuilt capabilities to automatically alter ink properties such as flow and density to match Pantone shades using the CMYK process. Accurate color proofing for Offset Printing can be expensive.

  • 98% Acccuracy as to Offset Quality

As the HP Indigo is based on the actual Offset Printing Process, our results are very close to those printed on an Offset Press.

  • Consistency

Every print coming out of our press is identical. This means less wastage!

  • Very Short Turnaround Time

It takes minutes to print a new file as compared to days in Offset Printing.

  • Cheap Low Volume Printing

At low quantities, we save you a lot of money to be used up in plate processing, ink mixing, etc which are unnecessary expenses for low quantities.

  • Personalization (Variable Data Printing)

Every print can be customized to be different. Very powerful for Direct Mailers and "Trans-Promotional Prints"

 

 

What makes an HP Indigo print by Chanakya Mudrak different than other digital presses?

 

  • Colors:

Other Digital Presses in the market use solid toner based action similar to that used in laserjet printers. Therefore, their color quality is inferior as compared to our prints. Also, they are restricted to a particle size 6-8 times larger than an inkdot from our press, thus digital presses offer a much higher resolution.

  • Quality:

If you look at a print from a non HP Indigo Digital Printing machine, you notice an unnatural sheen in the print. The print is actually formed by charged toner solid particles, whereas our prints are made from engineered inks in a process resembling offset printing, rendering it very close to an offset quality print.

  • Substrate Choice:

Toner patrticles cannot stick efficiently to textured paper. Also, artificial papers like Tyvek are destroyed in such machines. Thus, we offer an extremely large substrate choice as compared to other digital presses.
