Offset printing is the volume workhorse of paper and card: plate-based CMYK that gets cheaper per unit the more you print. FastEditor converts every upload to CMYK, separates and imposes it, applies bleed and trim marks, and outputs a print-ready file matched to the press.
Request a demoOffset printing gets cheaper per unit at volume, and its constraints come from plates and CMYK rather than colour count.
Colour is CMYK, plus spot where needed. Designs are converted to the press CMYK profile, and Pantone spot colours are mapped where the job calls for them, so what the customer approves is what the press holds.
Resolution and bleed. Artwork is validated at true print size, and bleed, trim and safe margins are applied so nothing important is lost at the cut.
It must be press-ready. Plates are made from clean artwork, so FastEditor vectorises or resolution-checks every upload and imposes the job for the sheet.
The printer receives a press-ready CMYK file with bleed, trim marks and imposition applied.
The production-ready file goes straight to plate-making.
Offset printing is the volume choice for paper and card:
Products are pre-configured in the Product Hub. See the full supplier ecosystem.
High-volume paper and card work such as brochures, catalogues, packaging and stationery, where the per-unit cost drops as the run grows.
Artwork is converted to the press CMYK profile automatically, and Pantone spot colours are mapped where the job needs them, so approved colour matches the press.
Arranging multiple pages or copies on the press sheet so it prints and folds correctly. FastEditor imposes the job automatically as part of file prep.

No. FastEditor vectorises or resolution-checks any upload so the plate is made from clean artwork.
Offset uses plates and is cheapest at volume; digital has no plates and wins for short runs and variable data. FastEditor outputs the right file for either.
