Why Having Both Digital and Offset Printing Under One Roof Gives You a Competitive Edge
When it comes to printed materials, today’s businesses demand more than just ink on paper, they need speed, flexibility, quality, and cost-effectiveness. At EPI Printing & Finishing, we make it easy by combining the best of both digital and offset printing technologies in one seamless operation. Whether you’re producing 2000 flyers or 50,000 brochures, our hybrid capabilities give you the power to scale, personalize, and streamline every project, all without compromise.
Here’s how working with a full-service commercial printer like EPI can transform your next print initiative.
The Power of Digital Printing: Fast, Flexible, and Personalized
Quick Turnarounds Without the Hassle
Digital printing eliminates the traditional setup process - no plates, no long prep times. This means lightning-fast production and the ability to make real-time changes, even on tight deadlines. Need to update a design or place a last-minute reprint? Digital gets it done with zero downtime.
Cost-Efficient for Smaller Runs
If you're printing fewer than 2,000 pieces, digital printing is often the smart choice. By removing costly setup fees, you only pay for what you need, making it perfect for pilot campaigns, event materials, product samples, or short-run direct mail.
Personalization That Drives Engagement
One of digital printing’s standout features is variable data printing (VDP). This lets you personalize every single piece - names, addresses, custom images, QR codes—without slowing down production. For marketers, this unlocks more targeted, relevant campaigns that get results.
The Strength of Offset Printing: High Volume, High Impact
Economies of Scale for Large Quantities
When you're printing thousands, or tens of thousands, of pieces - offset printing delivers unbeatable value. As quantities increase, the per-unit cost drops significantly, making it the preferred choice for catalogs, mass mailings, corporate collateral, and retail inserts.
Unmatched Color and Quality
Offset printing offers superior image fidelity, color matching, and finish options. If your brand relies on precise colors or high-end design, offset ensures your materials are printed to exacting standards with stunning consistency.
Versatile Substrate and Finish Options
From thick cardstocks to textured papers, metallic inks to varnishes, offset printing handles a wider range of materials and effects. This makes it ideal for premium packaging, branded folders, and anything that needs to make a lasting impression.
Why a Hybrid Approach Wins Every Time
The real magic happens when you don’t have to choose between digital or offset. At EPI Printing & Finishing, we tailor our approach to each project’s unique requirements—ensuring every client gets the best balance of value, speed, and impact.
Right Tool for the Job
Our team evaluates every project to determine the smartest path forward. Short-run with multiple personalized versions? Digital is the answer. Large, static bulk order? Offset will save you money. Need both? We combine processes to create a hybrid solution, for example, offset printing the core content and digitally adding personalized details afterward.
Streamlined Production, Start to Finish
With both technologies in-house, we eliminate the inefficiencies and delays of working with multiple vendors. Whether your project includes 10,000 mailers and 500 personalized inserts - or a multi-channel campaign with staggered timelines, we keep everything aligned, on schedule, and under one roof.
Real-Time Agility
Mid-project change? No problem. Our integrated workflow allows us to switch between digital and offset seamlessly, ensuring projects stay flexible—even when plans shift.
Cost Savings Without Compromise
Digital Savings: No plate or setup fees for short-run jobs - ideal for limited editions, prototypes, or frequently updated materials.
Offset Efficiency: Lower unit costs for high-volume jobs, making it a cost-effective solution for large campaigns.
Hybrid Strategy: Combine the strengths of both to reduce waste and avoid custom plate costs for personalized elements, giving you the best return on every print dollar.
