what are different between Digital offset and Offset Printing

What is Offset Printing?
Offset printing involves separating an image's colors into individual components. Each color gets its own aluminum plate loaded onto a plate cylinder. The process works as follows:

The non-image part of the roller is dampened with water.
The image area is loaded with ink.
The image transfers from the inked plate cylinder to a blanket (or offset) cylinder.
The blanket cylinder applies the ink to the paper.
This method, known as offset printing because the ink is transferred indirectly, is ideal for larger print runs, offering precise color reproduction and a professional finish.

Advantages of Offset Printing:

Cost-effective for large quantities
Lower cost per piece with higher volumes
Broad selection of paper types and finishes
Option for specialty inks like PantoneⓇ or metallic colors
Superior color accuracy and detail
What is Digital Printing?
Digital printing, unlike offset printing, transfers color directly onto the medium. The most common digital printers include:

Toner-based printers: Use electrostatically charged powder fused onto paper by heat.
Inkjet printers: Use liquid ink applied through various methods.
Solid ink printers: Utilize wax-like ink, similar in process to offset printing.
Digital printing is ideal for smaller jobs and projects requiring variable data, such as customized direct mail pieces with unique codes, addresses, or offers for each recipient.
