Different Coatings Lead To Different Results

28 Mar

C1S is printing industry shorthand for “coated one side”. Likewise, C2S means “coated two sides”. These terms refer to coatings applied to paper by the paper manufacturer.

Different Coatings Lead To Different Results

Coatings can be glossy, matte or dull depending on the application and the desired effect. The more sheen to the coating, the more brilliant and vivid the ink colors will appear when printed. The duller the coating, the more subdued the ink colors will appear.

Coatings is easy and helpful in Image printing

Bear in mind that C1S and C2S refer to a coating applied at the paper mill before your printer gets the paper and prints on it. Thus, it is not to be confused with various coatings your printer may apply after the printing process, such as UV or aqueous coatings, varnishes or laminates.

Direct Mail can help you target a specific market.

28 Mar

For direct marketing purposes, regular mail has the advantage over email.

This is because pieces sent via regular mail exist in tangible form, which guarantees they will be seen and held. Also, with regular mail, your message can arrive in any physical form you choose,including colorful, attention-grabbing text and graphics.

Conversely, an email arrives as a single line of plain text in the subject field of a busy Inbox. This means your message can easily get lost among all the other emails competing for the recipient’ s attention. Unlike a well-designed postcard, letter or mailer that arrives and lingers in physical form, a stark email heading has little chance of making a lasting impression. Thus, unsolicited emails are often deleted quicklyor just plain ignored.

Direct Mail can help you target a specific market.

The disadvantages of advertising via radio, TV, magazine, newspaper, billboard, etc. is that your message is broadcast to the masses. This shotgun approach gives you little control over who your message reaches. As a result, your message becomes impersonal, unfocused and crowded out by all the other messages competing for the attention of your audience.

However, with Direct Mail you can target a specific market niche based on interests, needs, lifestyle, location, education, income, social status, etc. Like looking through the crosshairs of a rifle scope, you can select the recipients of your mailing with pinpoint accuracy. Thus, your message is more personal, focused and meaningful to the recipient.

Don’t forget to considerate other factors when printing folders

26 Mar

Why should I consider coating my presentation folders?

The two most common reasons for adding a coating over your folders are for protection and aesthetic reasons. Coatings are applied to protect printed folders from exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, scuffs, scratches and frequent handling. They are also applied to draw the eyes to particular elements; to add depth and interest to your printed piece.

Don’t forget to considerate other factors when printing folders

Typically UV coatings and film lamination, often available from outside vendors, require additional time for drying of ink before coating and curing after coating. Typically aqueous and overprint varnish, often handled within the plant, do not require any extra lead time.

You will often find different manufacturers have different coating preferences and opinions as it relates to folder design. Typically these are based on in-house equipment availability, operator experience, and personal aesthetic preferences. While all  press coatings mentioned have advantages and disadvantage, there are situations where each shine. 

Image Printing would be happy to discuss them with you as they pertain to your specific folder printing project. Image Printing Packaging   is an chinese-owned and Chinese-managed printing company that works with a network of printers in Shenzhen ,China  to print high-quality, low-cost advertising and packaging materials for their customers.

UV Coating VS Aqueous Coating

26 Mar

UV Coating is recommended for printed pieces which will be handled frequently, such as presentation folders, the covers of paperback books and some types of business cards. It is also recommended for promotional pieces that aim to grab attention, such as flagship brochures and direct mail postcards.By producing richer and more vibrant colours on digitally or offset printed pieces the VividCoater offers the on-demand print market the opportunity to have more effective and expressive printed products at a very low cost per page.

Aqueous Coating is a popular type of clear top coat applied to printed pieces, such as brochures and flyers. It helps protect the ink and paper against scuffs, abrasions and smudges.Aqueous coatings are fast-drying, water-based, protective sealants particularly resistant to smudges and fingerprints. Aqueous formulations afford greater protection than varnish and have gloss characteristics that fall between varnish and UV coatings.

Image Printing currently requires you to have an agent in order to submit your manuscript. If you do not already have an agent, you can find a list of possible agents at your local library, online, or in a bookstore.if you have questions about UV Coating or any other coatings used on printed materials. There are many coating options to choose from, so let Image Printing help you decide which is best for your particular print project.

Bindery methods usually fall into the following three general categories

20 Mar

There are a variety of bindery methods in Image Printnig for books. The bindery method refers to the way the pages and cover are assembled into a book unit. Bindery methods for books used in business usually fall into the following three general categories.


1) Saddle Stitching.  This simple method is one of the most widely used binding styles. With this softbound method, books are constructed from folded sheets that are stapled together along the crease of the fold. For example, a Saddle Stitched book that measures 8.5″ x 11″when closed is constructed from 17″x 11″sheets that have been folded in half. 
2) Perfect Bound.  The softcover books that you see on the shelves at bookstores are good examples of perfect bound books. They have a square spine and the cover is usually made from paper stock that is heavier than the pages. Plus, the cover is often coated to provide durability and improve appearance.
3) Spiral Bound.  This popular binding method uses a plastic or metal coil that is inserted and twisted through small holes that run along the spinal edge of the book’s cover and pages. An advantage to this type of binding method is that the pages can be opened 360 degrees which permits the book to lay flat.

Advantages of digital printing

1. It is ‘green’.This is a pitch perfect solution which results in a lot less wastage of materials when compared with other forms ofprinting. Other printing solutions implement solvents made using harmful chemicals which can degrade our natural environment.

2. Corporations can even get their narrow projects printed out at a low cost.There is no lowest order requirement by the digitalprinting service so you can even have your small-scale project printed out within your price range.

3. Swift turnaround time.The production from offset presses must first be dried out before being folded before a project can be considered done. But with digital printing, printouts can be immediately used as soon as they appear from your printer.

4. Stress free updates. Businesses can update their materials without difficulty without any need to trash the obsolete things. Asmarketing materials are printed in smaller quantities, it is not difficult to make changes as and when they are desired.

Common uses for Sealed Edge lamination in printing

18 Mar
What is a Sealed Edge?
A Sealed Edge is created when a printed piece is sandwiched between two pieces of plastic laminate film that extend past the edge of the printed piece. This allows the two sheets of film to bond to each other around the entire perimeter, thus totally encapsulating the printed document in plastic.
 A Sealed Edge provides the ultimate protection against contaminants and is used when the printing may be subject to frequent handling or used in a harsh environment. The overhang lip created by the Sealed Edge method is usually in the range of 1/8″-1/2″ to produce a strong bond and ensure that fluids and dirt never contact the edge of the printed paper substrate. Common uses for Sealed Edge lamination include restaurant and bar menus, factory signage, machinery hang tags, identification cards and educational material.

If you have any questions about lamination or have an upcoming laminated project, give Image Printing Packaging a call. Whether your print project requires Sealed Edge or Flush Cut lamination, Image Printing can offer you helpful guidance and money-saving ideas.

using color will add creativity to your designs

12 Mar

Look around you. What do you see? Colors, of course. Colors are what hold people’s attention. It attracts them to take a second look and see more clearly.

This is the same essence why black and white print jobs are slowly disappearing. What is taking their place are color printers. The shift to color printing is obviously because of the many advantages that it gives. You probably have heard about the benefits. Or have proven what them in your promotion and marketing.

Take brochures, for example. Will you still be enticed to check them out if they are printed in bland and dark colors? This is the same with flyers and posters. And business cards too.

Using colors, you not only add creativity to your designs, you also make it easier for your readers to read your graphics and words easily. Readers are more inclined to check something out they have more colors into it. This is because people trust what they see first before they become interested. 220px-RGB_and_CMYK_comparison.4
