Offset Work on the Rise

Digital printing has claimed some offset projects, but that hasn’t automatically meant a drop in offset volume.

“There are a lot of laser printers out there, and that does take away some of our projects,” admits Wannigman. “But to date, volumes are still going up, not down.”

Sarantakos agrees that the development of a digital niche has nipped some sales, yet adds that “our offset work has grown at a steady rate over the past three years. In fact, it accounts for 85 percent of our total sales.”
