WHEN TO CONSIDER IT
Start with the print run.
Consistent repeated artwork, considered paper specifications and runs where setup can be balanced across the quantity.
Offset printing transfers an inked image through plates and a blanket onto a suitable print surface.
THREE QUESTIONS FOR YOUR BRIEF
Make the method fit the job.
Which stock and colour specification?
How many copies of each version?
Suitability, availability and any sample requirement are confirmed against your actual material and artwork.
SPECIFY OFFSET PRINT
The details that determine the job.
- Page & sheet plan
- Finished dimensions, page count, fold/binding and print sides.
- Paper & grain
- Stock name, GSM, coating and grain direction where folding/binding matters.
- Colour specification
- Process CMYK, spot-colour requirements and any separate varnish/foil plates.
- Run & proof
- Quantity, version changes, colour proof expectations and finishing sequence.
The quotation confirms the compatible material, production dimensions, finish, proof/sample requirement and timing for the agreed job.
SEE IT IN CONTEXT
What are you making?
Choose the surface effect first: a raised varnish is not a pressed emboss. NFC profile hosting, link ownership and future updates need an agreed scope.
FlyersA compact A6 handout suits a short message; A4 gives room for diagrams or a detailed offer.
LeafletsChoose the fold around the reading sequence before laying out the design.
BrochuresA brochure is a format decision as well as a print job: choose fold or binding before finalising page count.
COMPARE BEFORE DECIDING
Could digital print suit the brief?
Digital printing produces an image directly from a prepared digital file, without the plate setup associated with offset printing.
Is offset print suitable for my project?
Page count, stock, colour requirements and run size help determine whether this process is appropriate. Share the material and artwork so suitability can be reviewed.
Can you confirm a price or turnaround?
A quotation follows review of the scope, quantity, material and artwork. Timing and specifications are confirmed for the individual project.
