FINE ART DIGITAL PRINTING
MOST BUDGET FRIENDLY
High quality digital printing uses flat ink colours and does not leave indentation on paper. This method allows a large combination of colors to be printed at once. This printing method is limited to light and medium color card stocks, and only available on our standard 270gsm cardstock paper, but the paper can be duplexed for a double-thick feel.
FOIL PRINTING

WITH OTHER PRINTING METHODS
Foil printing is the process of laying a sheet of foil on paper that is then pressed with a metal plate leaving a slight impression. A wide range of papers can be used with this method including both our standard weight (270gsm) and heavyweight (330gsm and 660gsm) cardstock and cotton paper. Foil Printing can be combined with both Digital and Letterpress printing.

Letterpress Printing can be combined with both Digital and Foil printing.
