Offset Printing in the Modern World
In this short-run era, where a third of all jobs have run lengths of just 250 sheets, how are sheetfed offset presses faring? Industry observer Frank Romano offers his view.
The time from submitted file to first sellable sheet is now 10 minutes. As with all offset lithographic presses, the range of stocks will be wider and heavier than digital color printers now handle. Crew sizes will be one person, unlike larger multi-color presses.
DI Not Digital Printing
Some observers place direct imaging in the same category as digital printing. They are very different, however.
Frank Romano is Professor Emeritus at RIT School of Media Sciences.
