Gang Run Offset Printing

​GANG RUN PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES

Understanding The Gang Run Printing Process
The printing process in which multiple print jobs are produced on a common print sheet is referred to a gang run. Understanding the positive aspects as well as production limitations will help to set you and your expectation.

Positive aspects of the gang run printing process: It saves you a considerable amount of money. Many cost factors are shared on the sheet to reduce the overall cost per job. Environmentally more friendly. Ganging jobs together uses paper more efficiently by filling up the sheet and thus reducing paper waste. This driven by economics since the more that is squeezed out of a sheet, the lower the cost.

Limitations of the gang run process:
Color: This is by far the biggest limitation with gang run printing. It is difficult to maintain control of color because there are many jobs on one sheet. Therefore it is impossible for any printer using a gang run process to be able to guarantee color output. This cannot be emphasized enough. Quality of output. Since there are many jobs on a sheet, its difficult to maintain a certain output quality. Solid colors have the potential to show streaks or ink coverage may be over saturated. Most of these issues can be avoided with a good understanding on file setup for gang run jobs. There is typically a lower selection of paper and coating options. The Print Industry has recently overcome these limitations and offers a wide array of paper and coating options.

The positive aspects of gang run printing definitely outweigh the limitations and this is illustrated by the large growth of the gang run industry as well as other printers that resell gang run jobs.
