Offset-printing
Fresh off the press...
Offset printing is a widely used printing technique where the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a film of water, keeping the non-printing areas ink-free.
At the UPC, we have a wide array of state-of-the-art presses that have the capability to produce consistent high quality products. These agile presses can produce anything from business cards to booklets. The flexibility of our presses allows us to respond to the unique needs of each project. As well, our experienced management and press operators will assist you in getting the most out of your print projects.
Digital-printing
Quickness in the short ...
Digital printing is the reproduction of digital images on physical surface, such as common or photographic paper, film, cloth, plastic, etc. It can be differentiated from litho printing in many ways, some of which are; Every impression made onto the paper can be different, as opposed to making several hundred or thousand impressions of the same thing from one set of plates, as in traditional methods. The Ink or Toner does not absorb into the paper, as does conventional Ink, but forms a layer on the surface. It generally requires less waste in terms of chemicals used and paper wasted in set up.
At the UPC, we have recognized that the digital printing market has constantly grown over the past several years and we have purchased new equipment to meet this demand. Our HP indigo and Docu-Colour 8000 provide high quality print with fast turnaround. Personalization of jobs has never been easier allowing for more focused and customized marketing campaigns.
