Offset Printing

Adding to the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black base colors, 1 to 8 printing levels up by adding 4 light color versions for greater variety and stunning image clarity. The additional color options also exhibit superior performance on heavy stock weight paper in both straight and perfecting print applications.

For ultra-specific color matching, Pantone Matching System is the best option. The Pantone Matching System (PMS) uses a numbered code for universal color matching based on the colors specific formula.

UV inks and coatings are applied much the same way as conventional inks, with one major difference: UV light is required to dry the ink. In the printing process, UV light is utilized during the print run, drying the ink as the sheet passes through the press.

Benefits of Using UV Inks and Coatings:

• Rush Printing – UV inks have a faster turnaround than conventional inks because dry times are lessened.
• A Satin gloss look is an option of UV finished sheets.
• Lower environmental impact (lower overall emissions and a healthier workplace)
• Crisp look, resistant to smudges or scrapes

Up to 4 color perfecting refers to both the print process and the colors used to create the images. Perfecting presses combine speed and quality and can output large print orders in half the time of straight printing. Separating cyan, magenta, yellow and black adds uniformity of color across color images and is the most economical print process available.

• Perfecting – Refers to printing on both sides of the paper sheet in a single pass through the press.
• Straight printing – Printing one side of the paper in a single pass. Multiple passes can be made to achieve desired color depth.
