What is The SPECIAL PRINTING TECHNIQUES

The brief was to become familiar with every printing technique we could and show them through physical pieces. It was a fun project. However, when you leave school, you don’t always get the chance to work with these really amazing printing techniques or even figure them into your budget, but what I will talk about in this guide are popular and affordable. Consider them in your next print project!

SPECIAL PRINTING TECHNIQUES:
Die-Cut: The cutting of shapes from the substrate using a custom-made metal die and stamping machine.

Embossing/Debossing: A die-stamping process resulting in a raised (Emboss) or depressed (Deboss) surface on the substrate. Embossing may be executed either without any printing to highlight the affected area (blind Emboss) or as a complement to a printed area, for instance where a logo is first printed on a surface and then embossed.

Hole Punching: A process by which holes of a specified size are drilled through a finished, bound catalog or other printed material.

Hot Foil Stamp: A process whereby a metallic foil is die-stamped on to a substrate (usually paper) to leave an imprinted logo, text or other graphic device in the color and material of the metallic foil. A popular technique for Book Titles, Name Cards and invitations, hot stamps are generally either gold or silver, but may be created in a wide range of metallic colors.

Perforation: The punching of small holes (usually in straight lines) into a sheet of paper, to make a printed area easy to tear off. Used for vouchers, response cards, etc., various levels of ease in removing the perforated area may be achieved through the spacing between the holes.

Scoring: A process whereby a crease is created in a straight line on the substrate, primarily used to allow for ease of folding.

Printing PAPER TERMS

This is our commonly used specifications.If you want to order other specifications, we are pleasure to make it to you. Use You can use our products to make artwares. In this section are an assembly of the most Common printing and shipping terms used for China Printing Solutions projects. While this is by no means a comprehensive glossary of materials, techniques or terms, we hope this may be of use in making full use of this website and in communicating with us.

PAPER TERMS: Art Paper: A common name for a coated paper stock with good reproductive qualities for offset printing. Book Paper: A paper suitable for offset printing, generally with a high opacity as well as excellent folding qualities and durability. Brightness: A measure of the whiteness or lack of color of a blank sheet of paper. Lightweight Coated Paper: Strong and inexpensive paper made primarily of mechanically ground wood pulp rather than chemical pulp. Used primarily for Web Press production. Newsprint: An inexpensive paper made primarily of mechanically ground wood pulp rather than chemical pulp. Opacity: As opposed to transparency, a measure of the ability of a paper to prevent artwork printed on the reverse side of a page from showing through on the front side. Synthetic Paper: A paper-like material made of PVC and commonly referred to as ‘yupo paper’ with excellent reproductive qualities and a slick, smooth feel. Can be rather expensive. Woodfree Paper: Paper which contains less than 10% mechanical pulp; Good for one and two color jobs, or jobs requiring a lower reproductive quality of full color images. Advantages For a varieties and small batch production. A simple process, without plate making direct print, process short, saves time and effort.

Most Common printing and shipping terms used for China Printing

In this section are an assembly of the most Common printing and shipping terms used for China Printing Services projects. While this is by no means a comprehensive glossary of materials, techniques or terms, we hope this may be of use in making full use of this website and in communicating with us.

COATINGS: Aqueous Coating: A water based coating whose protective properties lie somewhere above varnish and below UV coatings. Generally used to provide a finish with most of the protective capability of UV coatings, but with more of a satin finish. While providing a richer feel than Varnish, it is also more expensive and may be prone to more defects in the production process. Film Lamination: A clear plastic film sheeting that is heat sealed to the paper surface to provide an extremely hard and very protective finish which is even more resistant than UV coating, and at a lower cost to boot. Lamination is available in either matte or gloss application and, in gloss form, is even more glossy than UV Coating. While Matte lamination provides a dull, satin finish that tends to feel fairly rich, Gloss lamination, for some designers may be seen as too glossy or plastic, and therefore somewhat “cheap”. Spot UV: A UV coating used to cover a single photo or other isolated area. Spot UV works very well to highlight a photo, logo or other important design attribute, particularly if added to a matte surface, for added contrast. Can be expensive. Spot Varnish: A varnish coating used to cover a single photo or other isolated area. Spot Varnish works moderately well to highlight a photo, logo or other important design attribute, but does not create the high contrast effect provided by Spot UV. It is, however, much less expensive, especially if applied inline as a fifth color. UV Coating: A coating which, when cured under Ultra-Violet light, creates a glossy, highly protective surface with a rich, smooth feel. While not as protective as Lamination, UV is a very high quality finish, with a price tag to match. It is preferred for high end magazines, catalogs and books. While generally used as an “all over” coating, it can also be used as a Spot UV, Varnish: An oil based coating providing a mild sheen and protective qualities to printed material. Varnish may be added in-line when printing (wet trapped), or as an additional coating after the printed matter has dried (dry-trapped) and may be either gloss or matte. While usually added as an “all over” coating, it may also be produced as a Spot Varnish. Varnish is a relatively inexpensive procedure which, when dry trapped to gloss coated paper can provide a rich lustre to a print work, but has neither the protective qualities nor the shine of coatings like UV and Lamination.

The Society of the Cincinatti

The Society of the Cincinatti is an historic organization of descendants of American Revolutionary War participants. The Society prints a member’s directory classifying its roster of members by constituents societies, geographical location necrology and other criteria, and identifying individual members and their predecessors by address, title and attributes such as military honors received. All of this data is consolidated into an intricate directory of several hundred pages where members often appear in multiple chapters according to classification.
For this project CPS executed both page layout and printing. To save time and ensure accuracy of the printed piece, a bespoke database was created to receive the detailed information provided by The Society. Using XML markup language, a series of sorting rules were encoded to classify the data into the various categories and create unique XML files for each chapter. At the same time, master pages and paragraph styles were created in Adobe Indesign and tagged to the corresponding XML file name. By then importing the presorted data as XML code instead of text, typeface styling, the page layout was almost completely automated, avoiding what would otherwise require countless hours of tedious text styling, insertion of paragraph breaks and editing by hand.
