Offset Printing
Offset printing produces the most consistent, high quality image. But great results are only acheived by a skilled craftsman using good quality equipment. Unlike many budget printers, we use only the best German-made Heidelberg offset presses.
Advantages of offset printing:
- Sharp, clean lines
- More economical for largers runs – the more you print the less you pay per page
- Greater choice of papers than digital
- Ability to add details that enhance your product – ie: embossing, raised ink, varnishes
Finish
The small details make your material stand out. We have a wide range of ways to give your product a distinguishing edge. Painted edges, hot stamp foiling, embossing, rounded corners, coil binding, wiro, saddle stitch booklets, laminating, scoring, folding, die cutting are just a few options.
