LITHOGRAPHY

Lithography Printing or "Flat Printing" is simply printing the same ink as above but the invitation does not go through a powder, heating, or cooling process. Typically, this process will take a couple of days to dry.

DIGITAL PRINTING

Digital printing is a modern method of printing multi-color images and copy at once. This method is used when there is

a lot of artwork or color to an invitation and most often used on invitation envelope liners with graphics. Digital printing is flat printing using a CMYK system. Using papers such as Arctic Smooth, Warm White, Crystal, or Quartz gives the best printing results. However, digital printing is not limited to those papers. Inquire within for other suggestions.
