FULL COLOR OFFSET PRINTING
Offset printing offers quality and versatility that is unrivaled by all other printing techniques available. And now, thanks to modern technology, it has become much more affordable and environmentally friendly. Offset printing is ideal for producing postcards, business cards, brochures, newsletters, and any other kind of printed informational and promotional material. The Printing Place is ready to produce your offset printing job with quality and precision in a timely manner.
WE FEATURE:
SHARP, CLEAN IMAGES AND TYPE. Unlike letterpress printing, offset printing uses a rubber blanket that conforms to the texture of the printing surface for rich, stunning results.
GREEN EQUIPMENT. Our press uses less than half the electricity used by presses of similar capabilities of just a couple years ago. It also uses closed cassettes for roller and blanket washing. The result? Less polluting washes and emission of fewer harmful VOCs into the air.
QUICK AND EASY PRODUCTION OF NON-POLLUTING PRINTING PLATES. Our computer-to-plate system produces chemistry-free metal plates that use a super-fine, laser-direct process to “burn” a first-generation image onto the plate, eliminating the use of film negatives—and the emission of highly-polluting silver nitrate residue. This technology allows us to print 200 line screens on all of our work and to maintain a higher image retention than conventional methods. Furthermore, the plates are recycled after use.
NON-TOXIC INKS AND VARNISHES. For many years, we have printed exclusively with soy-based inks. We also use soy-based varnishes instead of highly-polluting UV coatings, which are essentially nothing more than diluted floor wax.
INCREASED MONEY SAVINGS ON LONGER PRESS RUNS. Most of the expense goes into the initial preparation of the plate. So the more you print, the less you pay per impression (Offset plates last longer than direct litho presses, creating tens of thousands of impressions).
CUSTOM QUOTES. Your project is unique, so we don’t take a cookie-cutter approach to pricing. Instead, we will quickly custom quote your job based on your specific needs. That means we give you an accurate quote rather than just a vague estimate.
