Offset printing involves transferring ink through a printing plate and rubber blanket onto paper, while digital printing uses electrostatic charges to apply toner directly. Offset printing allows some ink to seep into paper fibers as it dries, whereas digital printing does not have this characteristic. Additionally, digital printing can customize each printed copy, unlike offset printing.

- 2. NO 1 Offset printing includes transferring ink from a reservoir located on the printing press to rollers, a printing plate, a rubber blanket, and finally the paper substrate.
- 3. NO 2 In digital printing, toner particles (either dry or suspended in a liquid or oil) are drawn to a drum by an electrostatic charge, applied to a blanket or belt, and then deposited onto the paper substrate.
- 4. NO 3 With offset printing, at least some ink seeps into the paper fibers as it dries or is cured with UV light, but this happens to a lesser level with coated paper than with uncoated paper.
- 5. NO 4 It is static to print offset. It cannot customize each printed copy with unique information (such as various addresses). Digital printing is capable.
