Qwik Printing
The Qwik Print slogan “same day – next day – two day” describes the speed at which we work. Short-run jobs of 1,000 items or less are usually completed within 1-2 business days from time of submission. This includes 4-colour work such as brochures, sell sheets, posters, postcards and rack cards. Other items and large quantity orders are generated completed within 4-5 days.
Digital Printing
QwikPrint operates multiple Xerox digital presses which offer in-line finishing option to simplify folding, collating and stitching. These machines feature a unique square-folder that makes your job look like a bound book. It is great for professional presentations, manuals and sales materials.
Our standard 600 – 1200 dpi digital presses offer superb results on a variety stock. We can emulate a variety of press standards and can create custom colour profiles for your specific job. Grayscale printing is wide gamut for photo-quality black output.
Digital printing offers important benefits that we can help you take advantage of:
- Lower printing costs
- Faster completion time, typically 1-2 days
- Reduced waste on unused materials
- Less stringent artwork requirements
- Environmentally-friendly production
Offset Printing
We offer offset printing on 4 and 6 colour presses for larger jobs (2000 units +). Although the initial prepress production requires more time and has a higher initial cost, this is offset by the significantly lower cost per unit on larger jobs. The source file requirements for jobs being run on offset are much higher than digital and commonly require us to prepare submitted artwork. Our prepress department has many years experience and can resolve any issues that arise.
- Lower per unit cost on large quantities
- Wide variety of paper types and weights
- Post-press coatings – AQ, UV
