FAQDigital or Litho Printing ?Digital Printing (Short Run Colour Printing)
The digital printing process is very quick and easy to set up. If you're in sheffield, your local digital printer in sheffield should be able to do your printing next day. The standard file to print from is a PDF (See Adobe portable document format), but basically any type of file can be printed in much the same way as in your office, but with far superior results. So with digital printing you can print smaller quantities very quickly (often on the same day) without a paying a fortune - prices start from about £25. So if you want to attack your market quickly, this is what you want - it can be a very cost effective marketing solution.

Litho printing has been the industry standard printing process for many years due to it's quality, efficiency and the low cost for high volume. The main advantage of litho print is for very high quality long print runs - a great mass marketing tool. If you want to spread your net a long way this is for you and it can work out very competitive.
It is a more complicated process than digital printing, hence the set up costs tend to be a lot more. In the past few years Printing Plates have been made with a Platesetter and loaded straight onto a printing Press. Then the ink from the plate is transferred to a rubber blanket, and from that blanket onto paper. This is done using the fundamental concept that water and oil do not mix.
