What are printing services?

Printing Services Los Angeles means to create print or copied materials from digital or hard copy format originals; including letterhead, business cards, carbonless forms and other items.




Types of Printing Services:

When it comes to professional printing processes there are four main types:

Offset printing service: With offset printing service the image is transferred to metal plates and then from the plates to a rubber blanket. Then the inked blankets transfer the image onto paper. The process is called offset printing because the ink is first transferred from plate to blanket rather than going directly on to the paper. 

Digital Printing service: Digital presses use powdered toner instead of traditional inks and with the digital printing process, your artwork goes straight from your pdf to print. Early digital presses couldn’t compete with the quality produced by full-colour printing. However, huge technological advances in the last couple of decades have resulted in digital print that’s impossible to tell apart from litho. Because there’s no setup cost or minimum quantity, digital printing is also perfect for smaller amounts (whether it’s nine or 900) and when you need customised or personalised marketing.

Screen printing service: Screen printing as we know it has been around since the early 20th century and is used for printing fabrics, wood, glass, signage etc. The image is transferred to a fine mesh and areas to be left blank are covered with a substrate. The printing process involves pushing ink through the openings in the mesh onto the end material.

High volume printing service: High volume refers to large print runs with quantities of tens or even hundreds of thousands. The price per copy printed goes down when you get into these quantities. (It’s worth pointing out that we’ve never heard of any printer with a refund for returns policy so if you print 10,000 leaflets and realise you can only distribute 1000, you’ll need a bigger recycling bin.)
