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

Where average run lengths at Jam Printing were in the 25,000 range three to five years ago, they currently sit in the 2,000 to 5,000 zone. Today, it takes a run of about 1,500 to make digital less feasible, says Schilkraut, mainly due to click charges. Even with the cost of plates and labor, offset will routinely get the nod.
