Current Commercial Printing Trends

Today's printing options include the traditional offset lithography as well as digital options. Lithography continues to be the dominant force in color printing, although digital technology is beginning to rise as more and more printers offer it. Eventually it will replace offset lithography, but that change is still several years away.

Commercial printing is inexpensive when purchased in large bulk orders, which is more common than small scale printing. Ordering thousands of catalogs can actually end up less expensive than buying only a few hundred. This is also true of brochures. Buying more decreases the overall long term price by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.
