INVITATION PRINTING METHODS EXPLAINED:
If you aren't familiar with the printing methods we offer, here are the printing basics:
|
DIGITAL PRINTING
The most cost effective type of printing, but we use heavyweight cardstock and the highest quality machines available. You are not limited in the number of colors used (and you don’t pay per color). With flat printing we can do things like print guest addresses on envelopes and print watercolor illustrations in all their multi-colored glory. THERMOGRAPHY
Thermography is a process that combines offset printing ink with a powdered resin which is baked so that the resin rises to give the ink a textured effect. When you run your hand over your print, it will be raised. This is also a great way to print lighter shades such as gold + silver on dark cardstock such a navy and black! FOIL STAMPING
Think metallics! Foil stamping is a similar process to letterpress, but it allows for the use of metallics on your invitations. Gold, yes, but also rose gold, silver, blue, purple and more. LETTERPRESS
Letterpress Printing uses printing plates covered in hand-mixed ink which are pressed into the paper, creating beautiful, textured invitations, with indentations where the design/text are printed. This handmade process lends itself to beautiful variations in color, inking, and impression. We work with letterpress printers who are passionate about their craft and finely-tuned to the detail of the final product. This printing is best to use when you only have 1 or 2 colours on your stationery otherwise it can be very costly. |

CALLIGRAPHY
Hand printing! We offer calligraphy services for your envelope addressing to give your invitation that extra touch of wow factor! It is great to use on both dark & light envelopes and comes in an array of colours such as gold, rose gold, blush, silver & white! What is better than beautiful hand written names & addresses?! Calligraphy can also be used on menus & place cards. |
