A gang run is any press run where many different clients’ jobs are combined into a single offset printed sheet. This way our clients can take advantage of the higher quality and lower cost of offset printing on jobs which are usually too small for this process.

Offset printing is the process traditionally used to produce printed matter. It offers very high quality output and low costs, but only in larger quantities. It offers a wide range of options and specialty processes unavailable in digital printing. Digital printing is faster and is cost-effective in small quantities; it is usually the best choice for quantities of 500 or less.

Large format is just that – print jobs larger than 11″ x 17″. If you need displays, banners or high-quality fine art reproductions, large format is for you. Our large format printer can output your project on a wide variety of media, from durable outdoor vinyl and transparencies to artists’ canvas. Ideal for printing in small quantities.

Our minimum run for offset cards is 500. If you need less than 500 we recommend digital printing. Pricing for our digital services can be found in the digital section of this website.

Our offset print size ranges from 1.75” x 1.75” to 28” x 40”. For digital the print sizes range from 2” x 2” to 11” x 17”. We also offer large format services, with print sizes up to 60″ wide by 50′ long.

These are two different types of colour maps commonly used in graphics design software. Though one map can be converted to the other, the results are not predictable as colour shifts may occur. As all of our output is rasterized for print in CMYK format, we recommend creating your files in (or at least converting them into) this format before you send your artwork to us.

All of our offset jobs are standardized to full colour on both sides, so there is no difference in cost if you choose to do a single colour on one side.

4/4 means four colour (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) printing on both sides of the card (called “four-over-four”). These four colours are combined to produce a full colour finished product.
