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

Times have changed. Though it's still all about the money, other variables factor into the decision on whether to use offset or digital for static, short-run work.

Just ask Mitch Schilkraut, the other half of the husband-and-wife owned Jam Printing of Elmsford, NY. Jam Printing boasts a trio of presses—two Heidelbergs (a two-color, 18˝ Quickmaster 46 and a five-color, 20˝ Speedmaster 52) and a Jet envelope press. On the digital side, Jam relies on a Konica-Minolta bizhub PRESS 8000 and a soon-to-be installed Ricoh Pro 901.
