Because offset presses run so efficiently once they are set up, offset printing is often considered the best choice when large quantities are being produced. In addition, offset printing can provide very accurate color reproduction, and crisp, clean professional looking printing.

Other advantages of Offset are that the offset printing process allows a much wider variety of custom papers and specialty inks, such as metallic or fluorescent inks, to be used in the printing process. When the printing project demands a specific, brand-centric Pantone color, offset printing is the only way to go.
