Inkjet and Offset printing are always confusing to some people out there. It is quite vital for you to get to know what makes these two types of printing different from each other.

This process is known as offset as the ink is not directly transferred directly onto the paper. For quantity type of printing, offset is the best choice as it provides accurate color reproduction, and crisp, clean professional looking printing.
