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.
