Most people think of the spectrum of colors a designer can create, but providing colors is just one of the abilities of a printing service. We can fold, laminate, and bind as well to make your products more interesting and aesthetically pleasing. Before the press the beginning of the process involves readying the text and graphics you would like to be printed. Supplementing the printing process with a graphic designer will provide most optimal results. Whether the graphics and text are coming from a designer or in-house, you have to confer with the printer about what formats will be most compliant with their systems. Beyond the press, it takes one to two days for the ink to dry after the pressing process; after that the printer will collate, fold, trim and bind the printed material. Printing Press Operations The project will now move to the printing press. The printer will place the project on the press using printing plates, paper, and ink. The printer will run off one copy (a press proof) in order to fully evaluate what the final copy will look like. Press proofs are used for scrutinizing before the whole job is under way. Most professionals will tell you that the prepress proof should be meticulously scanned before the press proof to add extra assurance that there will be no disappointment. Unfortunately, finding a mistake at the press proof stage costs extra time and money because the printer will need to stop the press and either wait for the correction to be made or reset the press. Dye Sublimation Printing Dye-sublimation printing allows you to print photo-lab-quality pictures on a multitude of surfaces, and more digital-camera owners are choosing to take advantage of this technology. If you want to print on mugs, license plates and other popular hard surface items then Dye Sublimation printing is the answer! Dye Sublimation, as a process is really very simple. It is the method of applying an image to specially coated ceramics, metals and polyester cloth, using three main ingredients: sublimation ink, heat and pressure.
