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.
• Under 250 is the realm of the digital color printer (toner and ink-jet printing).
• 250 to 500 is up for grabs by all three types of reproduction system—digital, DI and larger sheetfed offset.
• 500 to 10,000 is within the scope of the DI press and newer sheetfed offset litho presses.
• More than 10,000 belongs to the larger sheetfed offset litho press.
Frank Romano is Professor Emeritus at RIT School of Media Sciences.
