Offset Printing

Offset printing, otherwise known as lithographic printing, is called offset printing because the plate that holds your images or design doesn't come in direct contact with the paper.

Instead, the plate that has been applied with ink transfers the image unto a rubber blanket which then prints your design unto the paper. This process generates accurate prints for only the image-areas are applied with ink, while non-image areas are brushed with water. Since oil and water don't mix, inks don't run off in other areas where they shouldn't be.

Through offset printing, your business cards come out precise and consistent.

Four Color Process Printing

Four color process printing, sometimes also referred to as full color printing, prints your images or design in varying shades of colors.

Prints come out colorful for the four colors involved in the process, cyan, magenta, yellow and black, can produce and replicate varying intensities of color. The combination of these colors creates other colors as well, with black enhancing your images' definition.

This process produces images that catches the shadows of your images where it needs them and gives it highlights all the same. This makes for sharp and vibrant images.

Finishes

To make prints last, business cards are automatically finished off with an Aqueous coating. However, other options are also available to give your prints with better protection.
