Offset printing is a technique where the inked image is transferred (or “offset”) from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process (which is based on the repulsion of oil and water), the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a film of water, keeping the non-printing area ink-free.

Consistent high quality images and type • Overall quality is higher • Works on various materials • Cheaper for high volume printing • Pantone matching system (colors will always be true to value).

Digital printing is a method of printing in which the data and images are printed directly from the computer onto paper.

Low volume printing • Faster turnaround time • Variable data printing • Better for the environment. Digital printing uses dry ink or toner, which doesn’t wait any docs in printing and uses much less paper, due to setup time being shorter.

We recommend Offset printing if: Quality is your main concern | High volume printing (more than 250 business cards and/or 1000 brochures. Material thicker than 12pt. | Products larger than 13” x 19” We recommend Digital printing if: You need a Rush order (shorter than 5 business days) | Low volume printing (less than 250 business cards and/or 1000 brochures)

JPEG is a format for compressing image files. It is used most commonly by digital cameras and other photographic image capture devices. It is the most common format for storing and sharing photographic images on the Internet. ​ PNG is a format for compressing graphics. It is commonly used on web design and is also popular for application graphics. Keeps graphics rich in color and quality. ​ The main difference between JPG and PNG is the compression algorithms that they use. JPG uses a lossy compression algorithm that discards some of the image information in order to reduce the size of the file. With PNG, the quality of the image will not change, but the size of the file will usually be larger.

A file format that provides an electronic image of text or text and graphics that looks like a printed document and can be viewed, printed, and electronically transmitted. It is the most preferred file for printing, specially in large format printing to avoid losing the resolution of the print when enlarging.

We recommend using the PDF file for any print production, but if you are not able to obtain such file a high resolution (300 DPI) JPEG or PNG is the best second choice when sized properly.

We require a 1-up (just one copy of your project) PDF file, with crop marks and bleed (1/8 of an inch or 0.125 inches) all around your final design.

If any element on your document layout makes contact with the document border you will have to use bleed. The trick is to place the element so that it goes over the border where the document will be cropped after printing. The term bleed is used for all objects overlapping the border of your document.
