Printing technology
Digital solvent printing
Features:
- High resistance to UV radiation and average abrasion, allows to apply this technology both indoors and outdoors, in the form of stickers for vehicles, shop windows, etc.
- Approximate durability given by paint manufacturers is 2-3 years. When using a laminate or protective varnish, durability can be much higher.
- This technology uses the CMYK color palette - full color and allows you to print high-quality photos and graphics.
- Low opacity excludes printing most colors on transparent and colored films.

Popular applications:
Visual advertising in the form of banners , signs , stickers , roll-ups , graphics on vehicles , etc.
Benefits:
- Low cost of obtaining small series (even single prints).
- Availability of very large formats - up to several meters.
- Decent durability.
- High print resolution.
Disadvantages:
- No availability of a color palette other than CMYK,
- Low coverage
- Relatively expensive at high cost.
Screen printing
Made using a sieve technique using solvent paints.
Features:
- The highest resistance to abrasion and UV radiation from available printing techniques, allows to apply this technology both indoors and outdoors.
- It has the lowest resolution (about 600 dpi) and a large raster point size, therefore it is not suitable for printing decent quality photos or requiring graphics.
- Various color palettes are available in this technology, including CMYK - full color and Pantone - printing from ready colors as well as colors such as white, gold, silver etc.
- High covering ability allows printing on both colorless and colored films.

Popular applications:
stickers, prints on metal, plastic, clothing, etc.
Benefits:
- Highest durability.
- Freedom of color palette.
- High coverage.
Disadvantages:
- High costs of short series.
- Average price attractiveness with longer series.
- Low print resolution.
- No large formats available.
Offset printing
Features :
- Low abrasion and UV resistance - not recommended for outdoor applications or only for a short time.
- The highest resolution of available printing technologies, average 2540 - 3000 DPI, allows you to print high-quality photos and graphics.
- High depth and uniformity of any color - large surfaces with full paint coverage, e.g. the whole black side.
- High uniformity of solid raster printed surfaces (halftones)
- Excellent quality of long tonal transitions, e.g. from black to white.
- The variety of available color palettes, including CMYK - full color and Pantone - printing from ready colors as well as colors such as white, gold, silver etc.
- Low opacity excludes printing of most colors on transparent and dark films.
Printing standard:
- We print colors according to the latest Fogra39 standards for coated papers and Fogra47 for uncoated papers.
- We use the latest hybrid and stochastic level 2 screening techniques, we achieve 4096 shades of each color component so that the tonal transitions are of excellent quality (only for PDF).
- In addition, in our printing house there is no popular limit on the scale of color shades to a minimum of 2%. We recognize in print subtle details below 2% for the shade of a given color.

Digital laser printing
Features:
- High resistance to UV radiation and medium abrasion, allows to apply this technology both indoors and outdoors.
- Print resolution similar to an offset machine
- High depth and uniformity of black backgrounds - large surfaces with full paint coverage, e.g. the whole black side. Diversified quality of other colors.
- Average uniformity of solid printed surfaces from the halftone (halftone).
- Average quality of long tonal transitions, e.g. from black to white.
- This technology uses only the CMYK color palette - full color and allows you to print high-quality photos and graphics.
- Low opacity excludes printing most colors on transparent and colored films.
