Printing
Ideal when 4 color
process graphics are requested on jobs less than 2,000 pieces. No need
for expensive film, proofs and plates required on offset printed jobs.
Pantone colors must be converted to process equivalents. Typically laminated
with gloss film for durability.
Conventional way to
print 4 to 6 colors in higher quantities. 4 color process most common
for photographic look. Requires color separated, right reading, emulsion
side down film negatives and a color proof. If art supplied on disk, film
and proof charges will be added. Typically laminated with gloss film for
durability.
Ideal for 1 or more
Pantone colors required in moderate quantites (100 to 3,000) Ink is pushed
through a stenciled mesh screen onto cover material. Decorating process
can be used on wide variety of cover materials.
Ideal for small quantity
single color jobs or when metallic graphics are required. Foil is transferred
to material with a heated die. Die costs quoted separately based on square
inches of coverage.
Dies and pressure
used to create depressed – debossed, or elevated – embossed image.
Embossing requires a set of male / female dies and is much more costly and far
less common than debossing.
Usually done using
heated 18 pt loose type to transfer foil to material. Dies not required.
Also can be done economically when digitally printing.
