Offset Printing
Our offset printing specializes in producing high-quality printed materials for advertising campaigns, marketing collateral, and promotional materials. This unit utilizes offset printing technology, which is a popular and cost-effective printing method for large volume print runs.
Offset Printing activities:
Prepress Preparation: The offset printing unit begins by preparing the digital files for printing. This involves reviewing and adjusting the artwork, ensuring that it meets printing specifications, and converting it into a format suitable for offset printing.
Plate Making: Offset printing requires the creation of printing plates, typically made of aluminum or polyester, which transfer the image onto the printing surface. The printing unit is responsible for making these plates using computer-to-plate (CTP) technology or traditional methods.
Ink Mixing and Color Matching: The printing unit prepares the ink for printing by mixing the required colors according to the client’s specifications. Color matching is crucial to ensure accurate reproduction of the artwork and branding colors.
Printing Setup: Once the plates are ready and the ink is mixed, the printing unit sets up the offset printing press for the specific job. This involves loading the printing plates onto the press, adjusting the ink and water balance, and calibrating the press settings for optimal print quality.
Printing Production: With the press set up, the printing unit begins the production process. The offset printing press transfers ink from the plates onto rubber blankets, which then transfer the image onto the printing substrate, typically paper or cardstock. The printing unit monitors the print run for consistency, quality, and color accuracy throughout the production process.
Finishing and Post-Press Operations: Once the printing is complete, the printed materials undergo various finishing processes to enhance their appearance and functionality. This may include cutting, trimming, folding, binding, laminating, or coating, depending on the specific requirements of the project.
Quality Control: The printing unit conducts quality checks at every stage of the printing process to ensure that the printed materials meet the client’s expectations and quality standards. This involves inspecting printed samples for color accuracy, registration, clarity, and any defects or imperfections.
Packaging and Delivery: Once the printed materials pass quality control, the printing unit packages them securely for delivery to the client or distribution to various locations. This may involve bundling, shrink-wrapping, palletizing, and labeling the printed materials for easy identification and handling.
