CMYK Design and Print

Digital or Litho?

Smaller runs up to one thousand business cards, leaflets and stationary are digitally printed. This is like a huge colour laser printer and is ideal for short-run prints. However, the quality is still second-place to lithographic printing.

Lithographic printing is the industry standard and surpasses digital printing in every way including quality, variety, cost and turnaround. It involves the creation of a printing plate which is inserted into a huge press, which uses CMYK inks to print your design. Glossy paper can be used too, so your options are broader. It’s ALWAYS cheaper as the quantity required increases. View the prices below, they’re ‘shit-hot’!

Sizes and Thickness (GSM)

Wondering how much bigger A5 is than A4? Don’t worry, my creative version of a printing paper-size chart can be viewed and downloaded here. No, it’s got nothing to do with mobile phones, fool. The thickness of a sheet of paper is indicated by it’s weight, usually measured in grams per square metre (gsm). The lower the gsm, the thinner the paper. 170gsm, for example is a thin paper usually used for flyers and leaflets. 350gsm, on the other hand, is more heavier and ‘card-like’. It’s thick and is ideal for quality business cards. Prices for printing vary depending on thickness required.
