The offset printing process is when ink is transferred to the paper from a blanket that carries an impression from a metal printing plate. By using metal plates, Community is often able to save that plate for your next re-print, which in turn lowers your printing cost and insures a consistent and accurate product.

In our pressroom your project comes to life. Our press operators are craftsmen and understand that color and clarity are critical factors. They possess the expertise and knowledge that can only be attained through their years of experience in printing. Meticulous attention is given to every aspect of the printing process to insure that they achieve the color and consistency you are looking for and your project deserves.

Varnishing Techniques:

Depending on the look you want to achieve, we can do a gloss, matte (dull), spot or overall (flood) varnish finish on your piece. Remember, a spot varnish will require an additional plate, and an overall varnish will protect the piece from scuffing and add luster.

We can also do a Dry Trap. A Dry Trap is when wet ink or varnish is laid over a layer of dry ink. This can produce a sharper image and a deeper color. This is also called a double bump.
