In vs. off (line) — A "Fight" to the Finish

All the off-lines are variable size, which according to Trentman, can be rapidly reconfigured to run a different comp size—another obvious plus to using the technology.

In the great debate between in-line and off-line, "it all evolves around the issue of time and dollars. With shorter to medium runs, it's cheaper to go off-line; it's more cost efficient to do longer runs in-line, when running in the millions," says Trentman.
