3 Printing Options:

Off-Set Printing

Offset printing technology uses plates, usually made from aluminum, which are used to transfer an image onto a rubber “blanket”, and then rolling that image onto paper or other media. It’s called offset because the ink is not transferred directly onto the paper.

Offset printing is the best choice when larger quantities are needed, and provides accurate color reproduction, and crisp, clean professional looking printing.

Off-Set printing is usually best for larger print projects for quantities of 250 pieces are more.

Digital Printing

Digital printing refers to a method of printing a digital-based image directly onto paper or other media. Digital printing doesn’t use plates like off–set printing; instead images are printed using large-format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers.

Digital printing is usually best for small-run print projects when lower quantities are needed, typically a few as 25 up to 250 pieces.

Large Format Printing

Large Format printing is used projects where the dimensions are at least 24” x 24” but are often much larger.

Large Format printing is used to for vinyl banners, posters, yard signs, feather flags, floor graphics, et.al, and often have a minimum order of one.
