XPress Press - Collect for Output

Copying vs. Printing

Printing

Pros:

  • More choice of color.
  • Greater precision/accuracy.
  • Higher quality output.
  • Better reproduction of photos.
  • Ink dries more completely than toner.
  • Faster speeds for longer runs.

Cons:

  • Longer set up
  • More expensive for shorter run lengths.

Copying

Pros:

  • Fast turnaround for smaller quantities.
  • Good with multiple originals.
  • Less expensive for shorter run lengths.

Cons:

  • As Henry Ford once said, you can have a Model-T in any color you want, as long as it's black.
    (The same rule applys to photocopying.)
  • Toner may partially melt when paper is fed back through a copier or laser printer.
