Q: What is Bleed and why is it so important for professional results?
A: Bleed is essential for seamless edge-to-edge printing on a sheet of paper. Without a 3mm allowance (bleed) added to your artwork, trimming misalignment can leave unwanted white spaces. Incorporating bleed in your artwork ensures a flawless finished product. If you're not sure if your file has bleed, contact us, and we'll be happy to help.
Q: What is Digital Printing?
A: Digital printing is great for producing extreme high-quality colour results and personalised printing needs really fast, while offset printing is better suited for large print runs.
Q: Do you print in-house or outsource?
A: 95% of our work is produced in-house which gives us the advantage of controlling the jobs from start to finish. This is also what allows us to print and quickly as we do. When we do outsource work to commercial printers, its because its either too large a volume for us to produce economically, or if there are specific finishes and weights of stocks we can’t print in-house.
