    What would make a good Entry level 4 color

    Color bars are nice to use, but when you rely on them to much you lose out on the skill of printing. One place I worked at we had to go by the color bars no matter what the image looked like and how different stocks can affect the visual image. It also took away ability to learn when to adjust...

    is your press equipped with auto blanket wash device?

    I just take my blankets off and replace them every few hours. When I ran at a place that ran web presses there were a few people that would clean the blankets by hand while running the press. It was technically forbidden, but I never saw anyone get in trouble for it. I wouldn't do it, I have...

    Overprinting Silver Foil (Customer requirement)

    This is kind of work that will put hair and your chest, just so you can rip it out trying to get it to work. The only ink and printing processes that I have ever seen really stick well to foil (in my limited printing experience) is engraving. My suggesting start contacting foil reps. Of...
