Providing High-Quality, Color Exact Press Options for Large Print Runs.

We Are Offset Printing Experts

If you’re unfamiliar with offset printing, it is the process of using metal plates to transfer (or offset) an image or text onto a rubber roller. This process is called direct-to-plate or computer-to-plate offset printing. The image or text is then rolled onto a sheet of paper, keeping the non-printed area clean from ink. During offset printing, the paper (or print media) does not come in contact with the metal plates, which means you will get a clear, sharp image on every printed piece.

Offset printing is an efficient printing process and is more cost-effective than digital printing for large quantities (typically quantities of over 1,000 for most products, and over 500 for envelopes). Offset printing lets us run thousands of pages in one printing. Since the price per piece is lower as you print more, this printing process makes larger runs more affordable.

An added benefit of offset printing is that the process allows us to print with Pantone and PMS colors rather than simulating them with CMYK colors, as is done with digital printing. This means you get the most reliable color matching. Other advantages of offset printing are the ability to print on heavier papers and other mediums, which is not possible with digital printing.
