Potter Printing offers three distinct printing: Digital, Offset, and Letterpress printing.
So what… What’s the difference?
Digital printing is ideal for smaller quantities and quick turnarounds. It delivers vibrant, precise color at an affordable price for short runs. Because digital printing doesn’t use plates, there’s no setup time, but there’s also no cost advantage to higher quantities—if a sheet costs $0.15 to print, it costs $0.15 per sheet for the entire order.
Offset printing provides exceptional image quality and consistency, making it the industry standard for premium results. It’s most cost-effective for larger orders, as the cost per sheet decreases as volume increases. Offset printing also allows us to store your printing plates, reducing setup costs on future reorders. This process uses the traditional Four Color Process—cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK)—to reproduce full-color images, but can also incorporate spot colors for exact brand matching or custom inks.
Letterpress printing is the choice for customers seeking craftsmanship and character. Using metal plates and heavy impression, letterpress creates a tactile, timeless look and feel that stands apart. Perfect for specialty or small-quantity projects, it conveys an attention to detail and care that can’t be replicated by other printing methods.
