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.

Solvent plotter

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.

Screen printing machine

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.

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.
