Press Room

 
We use the world's leader in printing press technology - Heidelberg offset printing presses. These presses are engineered to produce consistent high quality, tight register work.
Our presses are equipped with infrared dryers to dramatically speed the ink drying time, allowing jobs to be delivered the same day they are printed without compromising quality. Our specialty is 1-color to full color (4-color process) in quantities starting as low as 500.

Tips:

Ink Properties: Offset printing inks are transparent, therefore the color of the paper will effect the appearance of the ink. Generally, the ink color will appear darker on a colored stock. Problem combinations to avoid are light blue ink on yellow stock (ink will appear green) and dark blue ink on gold (ink will appear black). Overlapping inks can create similar problems.
Screens and Solids: Avoid placing a photograph or screen tint in an area that is close to a heavy solid of the same color. The effect is dramatic, but it is very difficult to run on a printing press unless the screen is printed separately from the solid. This requires an extra press pass and plate for that color.
Ganging Orders Saves Money. Order jobs together that have common ink colors. If we print two or more jobs of the same color and sheet size at the same time, we will only charge the color wash and color ink mix once.
Color: Consider using a spot color to emphasize your message without adding a lot of cost. Choose from hundreds of ink colors on a variety of paper stocks.
