Disadvantages of Offset Printing
•Higher initial cost and higher cost for small quantities
•No custom or variable data printing options
The initial plate setup means that initial costs go up as well, and since the material to be printed is ‘imprinted’ on the sheet, no further changes to the output can be made. For example, if you want to print numbered postcards, digital printing can print 500 copies, numbered 1 to 500 in a small area, with the rest of the postcard being the same. Offset printing doesn’t offer this option. However, once set up, the cost for bulk prints is low. Digital printing pretty much charges per unit, but offset printing doesn’t. This is why materials like newspapers, in which every single unit has to be the same, is printed through offset printing.
