Services
Offset Printing
Our offset printing utilizes Heidelberg XL 106/105 presses with 400-line hybrid screening for color-critical projects. Advanced pre-press operations ensure precise ink coverage across 6-color configurations with coaters. Clients in publishing and packaging benefit from consistent quality at production speeds up to 15,000 sheets/hour while maintaining 15-micron print accuracy.
Fine Art Reproduction
Gicle printing employs archival inks and hand-molded papers to create museum-grade reproductions. Our Sinar digital cameras capture 40x60 inch originals with 4800 dpi resolution. Artists receive color-matched proofs using EFI spectrophotometers, while hand-finishing techniques preserve the tactile qualities of original works for generations.
Specialty Finishing
Scodix Ultra Pro digital enhancement presses deliver foil stamping, embossing, and UV coatings with 0.1mm precision. Diecutting uses Heidelberg Kama ProCut systems for complex shapes down to 0.04-inch dimensions. Clients in luxury goods and publishing receive tactile finishes that meet ISO 9706 permanence standards for commercial applications.
Photography Services
Full-service photography includes large-format scanning of negatives and transparencies using Hasselblad H6D cameras. Our 40x60-inch Sinar copy stands create archival digital masters at 800MB per scan. Photographers access controlled lighting environments for cataloging collections with precise spectral accuracy across 98% of Adobe RGB color gamut.
