Offset Litho

Offset litho: The newest technology for commercial printing.

Most design professionals know that offset litho is probably the most popular approach to affordable large-scale print projects including direct mail, brochures, brand identity and magazines.

Our prepress experts use today’s latest computer-to-plate technology to deliver the most accurate and efficient printed pieces. Here are some of the advantages to using offset printing:

High image quality. Offset litho reproduces the sharpest and cleanest images and type.
Highly efficient. Printing plates are faster and easier to produce than traditional letterpress plates.
Longer plate life. Millions of impressions are possible due to longer printing plate life since there is no direct contact between the plate and the printing surface.
Lowest cost. Offset printing is the cheapest method to produce large quantity and high quality printed pieces.

Carlson Print Group is always ahead of the game with the latest print technology using the industry’s leading brands that print up to 16,000 sheets per hour.
