Your Organization’s Solution for all
Future Printing Needs
Prepress Department and Bindery
Equipment
Add pizzazz to your brochures, flyers, business cards and any other
stationary product. Most people think of the spectrum of colors a
designer can create, but providing colors is just one of the abilities of a
printing service. We can fold, laminate, and bind as well to make your
products more interesting and aesthetically pleasing.
Before the press the beginning of the process involves readying the
text and graphics you would like to be
printed. Supplementing the printing
process with a graphic designer
will provide most optimal results.
Whether the graphics and text are
coming from a designer or in-house,
you have to confer with the printer
about what formats will be most
compliant with their systems.
Beyond the press, it takes one to two days for the ink to dry
after the pressing process; after that the printer will collate,
fold, trim and bind the printed material.
Printing Press Operations
The project will now move to the printing press. The printer will place
the project on the press using printing plates, paper, and ink. The printer
will run off one copy (a press proof) in order to fully evaluate what the
final copy will look like. Press proofs are used for scrutinizing before the
whole job is under way.
Most professionals will tell you that the prepress proof should be
meticulously scanned before the press proof to add extra assurance that
there will be no disappointment. Unfortunately, finding a mistake at the
press proof stage costs extra time and money because the printer will
need to stop the press and either wait for the correction to be made or
reset the press.
Dye Sublimation
Printing
Dye-sublimation printing allows you
to print photo-lab-quality pictures
on a multitude of surfaces, and more
digital-camera owners are choosing to
take advantage of this technology.
If you want to print on mugs, license
plates and other popular hard surface items then Dye Sublimation printing
is the answer! Dye Sublimation, as a process is really very simple. It is the
method of applying an image to specially coated ceramics, metals and
polyester cloth, using three main ingredients: sublimation ink, heat and
pressure.
