You can all of the finishing (stapling saddle stitiching etc.) functions
with Xerographic copies. Offset must be finished off-line. Larger
copiers have many finishing and collating functions that offset has not
even begun to address. If you have large volume, high quality pictorials
then perhaps offset is a necessity. On the other hand if you run very
few copies per month (3000-5000) that is only 100 to 200 copies per day
and the labor is so small, why automate it or pay to have it automated?
