Why screen printing on paper?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Digital printing can make posters in a few seconds. Screen printing requires more preparation and costs more per piece. So why choose it?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/i>

Character that digital can't match<\/h3>

The ink sits on top of the paper \u2014 a tactile surface you can feel. Effects such as metallic, fluorescent and glow-in-the-dark are beyond digital.<\/p><\/div>

<\/i>

Vibrant colours<\/h3>

Pure Pantone pigments instead of a CMYK screen. Flat, intense colours \u2014 ideal for poster-style designs.<\/p><\/div>

<\/i>

Collectible value<\/h3>

A handmade object with variation between copies. Perfect for limited editions and signed & numbered art prints \u2014 for which collectors pay a premium.<\/p><\/div>

<\/i>

Long lifespan<\/h3>

Good ink on decent paper does not fade. Ideal for archives, anniversaries and work that hangs on the wall for decades.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t

Foil printing & debossing as finishing<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Besides screen printing inks, we can apply two finishing techniques: foil printing (hot foil stamping) and debossing. Both are done on the same machine as the final production step, after the screen printing inks have been printed and dried.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i>

Foil printing (hot foil stamping)<\/h3>

A heated metal die presses a thin layer of foil onto the paper. A glossy, metallic or holographic effect that ink cannot achieve. We apply foil printing as an accent on a smaller format, up to a maximum of 30\u00d730 cm<\/strong> \u2014 for example a title, logo or detail, not across the whole poster.<\/p>
