OFFSET AND LITHOGRAPHY

Precise Continental operates 7 sheetfed offset presses in a range of sizes and ink configurations. This range allows us to print your job on a machine that's best suited for the dimensions, complexity, quantity and timeliness of your project.

KEEP IN MIND

Choose paper carefully, as the surface will affect the intensity of offset inks.
Request ink drawdowns if an ink's color and intensity is important to your design aesthetic, and be prepared for changes in color depending on the paper's surface finish and color.
Four-color projects need paper-specific prepress proofs, to simulate how inks will respond on press.
Allow more time for post-press drying if your project requires large areas of ink.

ABOUT

Offset, also known as lithography, is the most widely recognized form of commercial printing used today, and dates back to the late 1700's. Offset is used to reproduce photo-quality images or illustrations, standard text, or designs that incorporate a host of ink colors. Offset employs a flat plate containing the image, which is affixed to the cylinder of a printing press. When ink is applied, the image transfers from the plate, to the rubber blanket, and then to the paper. Offset has made many technological and environmentally-friendly advances in recent years, including the use of soy-based inks, the ability to print on papers with high recycled content, and the reduction of harsh chemicals and post-manufacturing waste.
