Digital Offset Printing Where Are We Now?

Two variants to this technology appeared about the same time. High-speed electrostatic copiers or duplicators using solid toner (e.g. Xerox DocuColor) or liquid "electroink" toner (e.g. HP Indigo) are aimed at very-short-run work—500 copies or less in most cases. These devices have done well in the industry, with more than 13,000 installed worldwide today. The quality they can achieve now is certainly impressive, and the range of stocks they handle improves each year. If you're printing just a few hundred (or fewer) copies of a piece, or any job with variable data (where each copy has customized text or graphic elements) then these devices are the best way to go.
