Technology


Currently, our printing methods include silkscreen printing, heat press, embroidery for shirt printing, offset printing and digital printing for other paper-ad printing.

For Shirt/Apparel Printing
What is Silkscreen Printing?
Screen printing, silk screening, or serigraphy is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil. A screenprint or serigraph is an image created using this technique.

What is Heat Press?
A heat press is a machine engineered to imprint a design or graphic on a substrate, such as a T-shirt, with the application of heat and pressure for a preset period of time. This technology is applied to our T-shirt printing, and also to imprint designs on mugs, plates, jigsaw puzzles, and other products.

For Paper-based Ad Printing
What is Digital Printing?
Digital printing is the reproduction of digital images on physical surface, such as common or photographic paper, film, cloth, plastic, etc.

What is Offset Printing?
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 water-based film (called "fountain solution"), keeping the non-printing areas ink-free.

Advantages of offset printing compared to other printing methods include:
  • Consistent high image quality. Offset printing produces sharp and clean images and type more easily than letterpress printing because the rubber blanket conforms to the texture of the printing surface.
  • Quick and easy production of printing plates.
  • Longer printing plate life than on direct litho presses because there is no direct contact between the plate and the printing surface. Properly developed plates running in conjunction with optimized inks and fountain solution may exceed run lengths of a million impressions.
  • The more you print, the less you pay per page, because most of the price goes into the preparation undergone before the first sheet of paper is printing and ready for distribution. Any additional paper print will only cost the client paper price (and ink), which is very minimal.
