Award-Winning Offset Printing

Our offset printing department consists of Heidelberg presses with direct-to-metal pre-press/platemaking technology – including two small presses for one to three color jobs and a full four color press for large run projects. Offset printing is one of the most superior print methods available, providing unrivaled clarity, sharpness, contrast, and color. In addition to the consistency and speed, our four-color offset press is capable of overlaying spot varnishes, which can enhance specific areas by changing the finish. Perfect for larger quantity print jobs, the offset press is a popular choice because it allows us to produce high-quality projects at a more affordable cost-per-piece:
  • Envelope, letterhead, and business card shell printing
  • Large quantity booklets, brochures, business cards, mailers, and more
  • Nearly anything that requires a superior, vibrant finish with sharp images and crisp text

Digital Color Printing

Our Hewlett Packard Indigo digital press is a combination of an offset press’s superior output quality, with the speed and convenience of a commercial-class color laser. The unique printing press uses liquid electrophotography, which means the ink is electrified then applied to the substrate via a thermal blanket. This means that the placement of color on the page is as accurate as possible – outperforming standard laser printers, and at faster speeds. In addition, our Xante Impressia digital envelope press allows us to digitally print full four color envelopes and tabbed folders, opening a whole new world of marketing and direct mail opportunities for small businesses.
  • Perfect for quick-turnaround booklets, flyers, brochures, business cards, rack cards, and newsletter projects.
  • Wide range of media – coated, uncoated, synthetics, pearls, metallics, and textured.
  • Color profiles can be set and locked per client or project to achieve precise color consistency.
