Printers Share Crossover Points for Running Shorter-Run Static Print Jobs Offset vs. Digital

The tipping point, run-wise, used to go as high as 1,000 for the digital side, but now Mele is happy to go as low as 500-count jobs on the Anicolor. Any jobs requiring heavy solid ink coverage also make their way to the Anicolor.

Mele doesn't mince words...price is the No. 1 consideration for him. The cheapest option for the customer is the one he'll select, with caveats made for turn times and other variables. But don't get Mele wrong; it's not as if he loves the Anicolor and loathes the NexPress. They both bring something different to the table, like having left-handed and right-handed relievers in the printing bullpen.
