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

"Off-line provides the advantage of quicker makereadies, because there is no downtime waiting for the press line and its makereadies, which are more time-consuming and costly," adds Kinderknecht. "With off-line, you have the advantage of not having to worry about the printing or the expensive downtime of the press. And considering that the press is the major capital expenditure, it's also the one that is most costly when sitting idle."
