What is Offset Printing in Fayetteville?

Offset PrintingOffset printing is the process of applying one of the four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) one at a time using printing press rollers. The colors are combined using nearly microscopic dots of the individual colors to combine to make the other colors of the rainbow.

Midway Press offers offset printing in Fayetteville. The offset printing offered by Midway Press features both coldset and heatset printing, meaning the way the ink is absorbed into the paper is determined by the quality of the paper. More porous papers, like newsprint, use coldset printing, while glossier papers get heatset printing.

 

How does Offset Printing in Fayetteville Differ from Digital Printing?

Digital printing, using toner or ink-jet printers combine the four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) as they are sprayed from the jets onto the paper. Fayetteville offset printing, in contrast, applies each color individually—the mixing happens as the inks dry, instead of during the application.

Digital printing might be a good choice for very small printing jobs, jobs with fewer than 100 pieces. Offset printing is the preferred method of printing large printing jobs for businesses and organizations in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

 

What are the Advantages of Offset Printing in Fayetteville?

  • You can choose from a large variety of paper types and custom finishes

  • And, finally, offset printing offers the jighest possible printing quality, with greater detail and color fidelity.
