Usually when you get full colour printing done, the print job cost is attributed to fixed costs of setting up the job on the printing press. However in the case of gang run print jobs, many different printing jobs can absorb these fixed costs. Therefore it reduces the overall printing costs.

The only drawback of gang run printing is its incapability to control the ink thickness for the neighbouring images. Unfortunately, there is very little control over colour variations that have occurred during the gang run printing process. The best result that can be achieved is an average colour of every different piece that is printed on the sheet.
