An Online Printing System is a prepress process that bridges the gap between online digital content and commercial print production. The process allows a printer, a client or a graphic designer to create, edit, and approve computer-based online templates during the prepress phase. This process increasingly calls for a Portable Document Format (PDF) workflow environment with output provided by digital printing.
This solution will make your company run more efficiently and profitably by streamlining your business processes, maximizing your resources and eliminating redundant operations.

The type of paper used for difference purposes is expressed in weight. In South Africa we use grammes per square metre (gsm or g/m2 or simply g)
The paper used for writing/printing (letterheads and stationery) is generally between 70 and120 gsm. Flyers and brochure grammages are usually printed on paper stocks between 115 and 170 gsm, while anything heavier is considered as card stock, i.e. the paper used for business cards, postcards, greeting cards, etc.
Coated papers are available in two finishes – gloss (shiny and smooth) and matt (flat and lusterless). Coated gloss papers reflect the light evenly so they are suitable for almost all types of printing jobs. Gloss papers have a good ink holdout, which is important for creating sharp, bright images.
We operate in a CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) colour space, adhering to the Fogra 51 and Fogra 52 ISO standards.
While we can convert RGB colours to CMYK, please note that colour shifts may occur during this process.
To ensure your printed materials meet the highest standards, please adhere to the following image resolution guidelines:

By utilizing both digital and offset printing technologies, we ensure that your prints meet the highest standards of quality.
No, the price list indicates basic prices of products against the specific quantities. The prices are calculated with regard to the most basic paper/card types, sizes and single side printing. As you know, the final printing cost depends on many parameters: paper/card weights or thickness (GSM/Pt), gloss or matt finish, 2 or 4 colors, square or rounded corners, single or double side printing, quantity, destination shipping charges and the mode of transport. Please use the indicative prices for calculating the basic cost. Once you place the order using the above parameters, the final cost will be indicated.
