Offset Printing
Fast, reliable and extremely productive.
For over a half a century offset printing has been the dominant way of sharing the printed word. The lion’s share of books, magazines, fine packaging, art posters, brochures have been printed using offset print technology.
Giants of the “printing world”.
Offset presses are large complex machines that print at speeds up to 15,000 sheets per hour and require operators to have a depth of experience. Community Printers not only has quality printing presses, we also have the trained staff to produce work at a consistently high standard.
The finest quality.
Once plates are made and hung in position on a press and the press is up and running, no other technology has been able to rival it for quality, reliability or cost effectiveness. In recent years digital printing has ceded market share for runs under 1,000 copies but offset still dominates the mid to long run print market.
Our large presses.
Our large format presses are manufactured by Komori®. These presses print every day, 16 hours a day turning out some of the best quality work produced on the Central Coast. Our five color press has an in-line aqueous coater that adds an extra level of durability as well as unique gloss, satin,matte, and soft touch finishes to our print jobs.
Our small presses.
Our small format offset presses are made by Ryobi®. We use them for letterhead, envelopes, business cards and a wide range of products where printing on a smaller format press makes the most sense.
Rigorous color control.
Through a rigorous process of calibration and testing, Community Printers maintains GRACOL® color standards which assures color consistency not only between presses and proofing devices at Community Printers but also with other print leaders around the world. The extra effort at maintaining the color calibration pays off when over and over our clients see their finished printed piece match our proofs and their expectations.
