Offset lithography
Offset lithography transfers ink from a metal plate to a rubber blanket and then onto paper, using the fact that oil and water do not mix.
Offset has a higher setup cost and a low cost per sheet, so it suits longer runs, large solids and exact Pantone colors. Commercial Printing Services runs offset and digital presses and can suggest which fits your quantity.
