 | Litho Print |
Lithographic printing remains the most economical way to produce larger quantities of print, and increasingly customers require full colour printing to communicate their message in a modern and efficient way.
Full Colour Printing is produced by the combination of Four Colours – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (also known as Key explaining why the process is sometimes described as CMYK printing). The process involves separating each of the colours in the files in to their four colour components. The colour separation is known as colour screening and today this is generally a digital process. A separate printing plate is made for each colour and these combine visually when printed.
The superior quality of our machines allows us to produce work of the very highest standard. Quality control at every stage of the production process is your assurance of complete satisfaction, ensuring that whatever your message it is powerfully delivered.
All our full colour litho printing is printed using stochastic screening. It means that traditional varying size dots are replaced with much smaller constant size dots randomly placed. The difference over ‘conventional’ screens is dramatic, with improvements in the quality of both pictures and fine text. Though the technology is not the same the difference is like comparing High Definition with Ordinary TV.
Four Colour Process Printing is a fantastically powerful way of creating colour and is used for the majority of print today. However it does have limitations because the gamut of colours which can be produced is much more limited than the number of colours in the ‘natural world’. In order to overcome this limitation we offer additional printing techniques, including Spot Colour Printing, Hexachrome and Metal FX Printing.
