2.2 Offset Press vs. Digital imagePRESS
Offset printing is a technique that transfers (or “offsets”) an inked image from a
plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface. This enables the offset
press to maintain a consistent and high image quality over long print runs because
the plate never touches the paper. The process requires a substantial investment
in equipment and setup time to achieve these results.
A digital press uses an electrostatic process to produce “offset-like” image quality
at a fraction of the cost of an offset press. In the imagePRESS C6010 digital press,
the drum is imaged; the toner is applied, and then transferred to the ITB
(Intermediate Transfer Belt). The ITB then transfers all four toner colors to the
paper in one single pass. The small toner particle size captures a greater color
gamut space, closer to that of an offset press.
