Offset printing is a widely 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 film of water, keeping the non-printing areas ink-free.

Digital printing is the reproduction of digital images on physical surface, such as common or photographic paper, film, cloth, plastic, etc.

It can be differentiated from litho printing in many ways, some of which are;

• Every impression made onto the paper can be different, as opposed to making several hundred or thousand impressions of the same thing from one set of plates, as in traditional methods.
• The Ink or Toner does not absorb into the paper, as does conventional Ink, but forms a layer on the surface.
• t generally requires less waste in terms of chemicals used and paper wasted in set up.
• It is excellent for rapid prototyping, or small print runs which means that it is more accessible to a wider range of designers.
