A Chat with the New Public Printer
>>> Offset vs. Digital Printing at GPO
Robert Tapella: “Even though we’re making significant increases in what we’re doing digitally, we are still a majority offset factory. We did 61 million pages (8.5x11?) on digital equipment last year. We did 2.8 billion pages with our offset web and another 800 million sheetfed offset, and then about 40 million envelopes.
