| Printing-on-Demand (P.O.D.) is what
we refer to when we discuss black & white high speed copying
up to 11”x17” and finishing services. We also offer color copies
from originals or disk up to 12”x18” sheet size. Posters are
available up to 36” wide and 8' long as needed. They can be
mounted on foam core, gatorboard and laminated. UV inks and
UV laminating were recently added to our list of products available. |
 |
 |
|
| Our pressroom equipment allows printing
using a variety of methods. Quick/Direct Printing utilizes “polyester”
plates rather than metal plates to keep customer costs lower
for one-color work. We also print one to five colors using conventional
offset printing methods. Our press sizes range from small one
and two color presses to a 19”x25 1/2” Omni 5-color perfector
to a recently purchased Heidelberg that can accommodate a 28”x40”
sheet of paper. The Didde Web Press prints from rolls of paper
for larger quantities, with ink ranges from one to four colors.
The web press can produce 30,000 8 1/2x11’s per hour (maximum
sheet size is 11x17). |

drilling, complete booklet binding, plastic & wire binding,
numbering, padding, round cornering, and shrink wrapping. Collating
