Digital printing as recent and revolutionary technology enables achieving desired product in the quickest possible way. When file is processed in the computer it is sent through RIP and within minutes we have the first print. After the authenticity of the print has been established client can get printed material in a span between 10 minutes and 24 hours. Printed for yesterday, as it is popularly called. Advantages of digital printing in comparison to offset are that the number of copies can be very small, from one print onwards.

Offset printing is a technique where the color is directly transferred from the plate to the rubber and then to the printing paper (mat or glossy finish coated paper, offset, printing paper (muflon), label paper or special types of paper). Off set printing as a sophisticated process in which man and machine work together, represents the peak of printing. In the very process four basic colors are used: black, blue, red and yellow. These colors are printed in very small pigment dots that can not be seen with bear eye, correctness itself and position of the pigment dot in correlation with the neighboring one creates illusion of another color. On the basis of that one says that most of other colors are created from the four basic colors, of course, there are colors that can not be created from the for basic colors, so there is a palette of special colors (silver, gold, fluorescent…). Offset printing is the widest used form of printing in our country and worldwide. It is mainly used for printing the medium and larger number of copies although it is all relative and varies from one printing house to another.

Tampon printing is used for straight as well as curved areas (pencil, lighter, watch, pendent, cup...). Machine itself is capable to print very small details even less then 2 mm. Motive that is printed is copied onto cliché made from polymer, steal or magnesium. Cliché itself is eaten into till depths of 2 - 20 microns. Printing process goes by leaning tampon rubber on the cliché and thus collects color from the depth, after which rubber that has collected the color transfers it on the positioned object. The quality of print is affected by several elements: quality of the machine, depth of the cliché, colors that are used (viscosity) and of course by the operator himself.

Silk screen printing from its first days until today has not changed much in the technological sense; principle of work is the same. Innovations have been introduced by some other industries like chemical industry and introduction of computers and their improvement so that quality of print has been better and time of preparation became minimal. Silk screen is used for decoration of fabrics, metals, various objects of uneven shape, pencils, and lighters, printing on various stickers and foils and already finished products... Principle of work is the following: cliché for printing is aluminum or wooden frame that can be produced in various dimensions (A4, A3, B2...). Fabric made of polyester is stretched on the frame. Sifter is spread by emulsion which, when dried, blocks the pores on the sifter. Printing motive is made on film or tracing paper and attached on the sifter, after that exposed to the light or UV rays. The sifter itself is washed from the emulsion to leave open the holes on the places where the light could not reach. The sifter is placed on the machine and printing process can begin. To get the print, object on which the printing is done is placed under the frame with certain positioning, frame is lowered and by going with doctor blade over the sifter color goes through the holes leaving the print. In this technique PVC colors are used so it is advised that the room in which the work takes place is well ventilated. 

Additional graphic work is a phase that has not been met with enough attention in our country.   Additional graphic work as final phase of production is very important because in it graphic product gets its final look and shape suitable for its use. Basic process of additional graphic work provided bay DS printing house are:

Cutting the paper in specific dimension

Bending of paper

Binding of paper (spiral wire, plastic, claming, gluing)

Creasing (making creases with special tools making bending and formatting easier)

Perforation (perforating the product for easier tearing when used)

Numeration (printing the numbers for evidence: tickets, coupons, invoices...)

Cornering (process of rounding up the product, mostly calling cards)

Plastification (worm/cold up to B2 form - 500x700 mm)
