PRINTING CHARACTERISTICS
Screen Printing: Is the process for smaller quantities and the best quality image. Screened images are very sharp and crisp with good ink opacity. One disadvantage is that multiple color imprints must be printed and re-registered one imprint at a time making it more costly than offset printing. Multi color registration may have a variation of approximately 1/16".
PAD Printing: ...Our professional pad printing service can print your promotional graphic, logo or artwork onto almost any three dimensional surface including plastic, metal, wood and glass.
