FAQ :
What are offset printing ?
Offset printing is a commonly used printing technique where the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a water-based film (called "fountain solution"), keeping the non-printing areas ink-free.

In an easier way to explain it means a transfer of ink from the plate to the paper.
What are digital printings ?
Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital based image directly to a variety of media.[1] It usually refers to professional printing where small run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large format and/or high volume laser or inkjet printers. Digital printing has a higher cost per page than more traditional offset printing methods but this price is usually offset by the cost saving in avoiding all the technical steps in between needed to make printing plates. It also allows for on demand printing, short turn around, and even a modification of the image (variable data) with each impression.[2] The savings in labor and ever increasing capability of digital presses means digital printing is reaching a point where it will match or supersede offset printing technologies ability to produce larger print runs at a low price.[3]

thumb/5/5d/Crystal_Clear_action_run.png/30px-Crystal_Clear_action_run.png
Easier way to explain , it's just like your ordinary laser or inkjet printers at home or office.
When do we use Offset Printing ?
Offset machines are meant to deliver high volumes which supersedes the speed of digital printing.
Eg : 250 000 of A4 flyers or brochures etc
When do we use Digital Printing ?
When small quantity is needed that can be produced almost immediately.
Eg : Digital namecards , invitation cards etc
What's the difference in colour ?
Both is practically the same , using the combination of CMYK which are Cyan , Magenta , Yellow and Black but offset uses ink and digital uses powder instead.
I have to stretch the point that if compared side by side , offset colours are better than digital , no doubt about that.
What's the difference in cost ?
Digital printing are not ideal for large volume outputs as they are not built for such ordeal.
Large quantity using offset printing are cheaper than digital and it also depends on the colour usage.
What are the known as full colour ?
Full colour means it's a combination of 4 colours laid on top of each other to produce an image. The four colours are known as Cyan (blue) , Magenta ( Red) , Yellow and Black or for short known as CMYK.
For eg : take anything colourful around you , for eg: a DVD cover , you can actually count how many colours is it.
What are special colour ?
Gold , Silver and Metalic that requires a single type of ink to represent it.
How does offset and digital works ?
Artwork ( AI format ) --> colour separation --> Film (positive or negative) --> Expose on Plate --> Machine --> Output or :-
Artwork ( AI format ) --> colour separation --> CTP (without involvement of film) --> machine --> output.
CTP doesn't involve exposure on plate because it is embedded using a CTP machine.
If one-off job , then most likely CTP will be used , but repeating jobs , film output is more cost efficient.
Artwork ( AI format ) --> Laser Printer / Inkjet --> output.
How do we know we get the right colour of your choice ?
We make use of our Pantone Book , a Pantone book is sort of like a formula guide where mixture of ink to get the desired colour. A picture tells a thousand words.
I do hope this answer some of the questions that one might not know how it works in the printing line.
