Web Printing 101.
Here we break down the basics of what web printing is and the pro’s and cons.
Web Printing Explained.
Web Offset print is a printing process in which a continuous roll of paper feeds through the press at high speeds making it ideal for medium to large run print projects. Heat-set web print includes an in-line drying process, as well as options to fold signatures in-line for perfect and efficient finishing. Web printing presses are considered the production champion of the offset print industry, making them a more cost-effective way to produce your medium to large print runs. As a comparison, a web press will typically run 50k impressions per hour vs. 15k impressions per hour on a traditional sheetfed press. A six-hour press run on a traditional sheetfed press can become a one-hour project on a web press saving you time and money—if the quantity lends itself to a web press.
