Is digital printing more cost-effective than offset printing?
The "warehouse" operation of the offset printing is becoming less cost-effective for products with shorter life cycles. Often, the waste alone drives the cost of an offset job higher than a job that is printed real time and in smaller quantities, but at a higher price per piece. With VDP's proven response rate, it ultimately proves to be a more cost-effective method.
Is there a limit to customization with digital printing?
Customization of your content is infinite. Everything that is printed on the piece can be a variable; text, headline, images, background, layout, etc. The paper which they're printed on is the only thing that's not a variable.
How many different versions can be printed in a single run?
