Glance around your desk. Chances are you’ve got a desktop laser printer or inkjet printer nearby your computer for making prints from the document files you or others create. These printers, so ubiquitous today, revolutionized the printing industry twenty years ago by giving us other ways besides offset printing to reproduce documents.

In the early days it was relatively easy to determine whether a document had been printed using an offset press or a copier. But as digital printing technology improved and quality reached offset level, it became clear that digital printing augmented and expanded the demand for printing in general.

Today the major difference between offset and digital printing lies in what each can be used for, and the specific situations when one technology offers an advantage over the other.
