The beginning of Fall has us thinking about one of our favorite holiday traditions: spreading joy and good will with beautifully printed and tactile holiday cards. From Thanksgiving through New Years, there’s no more memorable way to show your gratitude for another successful year.
Summer Series Number 5 – Event Materials
Before, during and after an event, beautifully printed collateral helps boost the overall experience for attendees and communicates a level of sophistication and quality about your organization.
Summer Series Number 4 – Custom Packaging
Packaging projects are the most intricate and complex for a printer to produce. Custom packaging is also often a consumer’s first impression, therefore, it needs to be executed at the highest level of quality and consistency.
Summer Series Number 3 – Offset Lithography vs. Digital Printing
Offset or litho, for short, is the most common printing method whereby the inked design is transferred from the printing plate to a rubber blanket and then onto the paper. Digital printing is ideal for short runs. Designs are printed directly onto a variety of substrates using electroink technology. This digital ‘ink’ does not require additional drying time like conventional offset printing, allowing for more rapid production and finishing.
Summer Series Number 2 – Book Printing and Binding
You may only know DataGraphic for having printed a very specific type of project for you — be it traditionally offset printed collateral, digitally printed brochures, engraved or foil stamped invitation suites, custom packaging, or a letterpressed or screen printed poster. But, did you know we also produce books of exquisite quality?
Summer Series Number 1 – Screen Printing vs Foil Stamping
Screen printing is a process by which an image is imposed onto a specialized mesh (screen) creating a stencil. Inks or coatings are pushed through the apertures in the mesh by way of a squeegee under pressure and transferred onto a printing surface. With foil stamping, a design is transferred onto a substrate via a thin metallic, translucent or opaque film using pressure and high heat. The image to be stamped is etched in relief on the plate so the design is raised, rather than recessed.

Bloomingdale’s Spring Loyallist Gift Box – Paperspecs.com
(NOTE: This article originally appeared on PaperSpecs on January 31, 2017) Hard to believe but there was a time when stores actually expressed some appreciation for your custom beyond a deluge of “you bought this so why don’t you buy that” emails. One retailer that still knows the value of a “thank you” is Bloomingdale’s, which […]
