    offset, explained

    Inside the press.

    A four-colour offset press, working. Scroll to follow a sheet from the feeder, through cyan, magenta, yellow and black, to the delivery pile.

    Feeder

    Sheets are lifted one at a time from the pile and fed into the press square, so every copy lands in the same place.

    view 02 / 04

    Plate and blanket

    Rollers spread the ink into a thin, even film on the plate. The plate passes the image to a rubber blanket, which prints it onto the paper. That offset step gives the process its name.

    Four inks

    Full colour is built from cyan, magenta, yellow and black, laid down one after another, each at its own screen angle, until the whole picture appears.

    paper guide

    Choose the right paper.

    The paper changes how your print looks and feels in the hand. Here is what suits each kind of job.

    Which paper weight?

    Paper weight is measured in gsm, grams per square metre. Heavier feels thicker and more premium. A rough guide:

    Typical ranges. Tell us what the print is for and we will confirm the right stock in your quotation.

    questions

    Before you order.

    The questions customers ask most. Anything else, ask us on WhatsApp.

    What decides the price?

    The item, size, paper, number of colours, finishing and quantity. With offset printing, most of the cost is in preparing the plates, so the price per copy drops as the quantity grows. That is why your quotation shows one price for each quantity you ask about.

    Is offset right for a small number of copies?

    Offset suits runs of a few hundred copies and up, where the plate cost is spread over many sheets. If you only need a handful, ask us first and we will tell you whether it makes sense.

    What files should I send?

    A print-ready PDF at the finished size, with photos in their original quality. If you only have a draft or a sample, send it on WhatsApp anyway and we will tell you what is needed.

    How long does a job take?

    Orders are delivered within 7 working days of approving the quotation and paying the advance.

    How do I pay?

    50% when you approve the quotation, and the balance when the order is delivered.

    Can I visit the press?

    Yes. We are at 267, Baddegoda, Bandaragama. Bring your files or a sample, and please call ahead on 071 800 2631.
