Compare Fresh Color to Me-Too Litho Printers

Many old-school litho printers have installed a single digital color press sometime in the past few years.

Most did this in a half-hearted attempt to keep their clients from going elsewhere for fast-turn short-run color printing. But litho printers aren’t committed to using the digital press to its full potential: it’s just a sideline endeavor and what they care about are the longer runs that fill litho press time.

So they don’t master the digital print process, workflows remain needlessly slow, the digital department has inexperienced people, and jobs aren’t priced right because litho printers don’t understand their costs and have sufficient volume to amortize press costs as they should.

We’ve been immersed in digital printing for over six years and we’re just plain better than litho printers with a digital press out back.

Price, price, price! When people compare us to their current printers, they often find that we actually cost less—so you can get the best there is and save money too!
We’re 100% digital, so we have expertise litho printers just don’t.
