One way to get the benefits of both offset and digital printing is to use them in combination. A common application is business card shells printed on the offset press and imprints with personalized information done digitally. When combining offset and digital, here are a few things to keep in mind;
1. Select paper that works well for digital printing. Some coated stocks and stocks over a certain thickness may not feed well through the digital printer. Ask for recommendations.
2. Toner does not adhere well to heavy ink coverage, so have the digital image printe directly onto the paper. If you must overprint digitally, use a halftone screne to achieve the desired color.
3. For marketing material and brochures, the sheet we use for digital print needs to be 8.5x11, or 11x17 for best results.
