What types of printing do you use and what are the differences?

There are three main types of printing that we use to produce our design work:-

Offset Lithography or 'Litho' - This is the most common form of printing and it is used for most applications of printing onto paper. It is quick, accurate and economical and can be used for printing both spot and process colour jobs.

At Infiniti we only design for full colour printing as the cost of this has reduced to the point that it is more efficient and easier to artwork than printing in one, two or three spot colours.

Digital Inkjet - This is a lot like your inkjet printer at home but on a lot larger scale, printing onto vinyl and using lightfast inks. This method is used for signage and vehicle wraps, and other large format printing like low quantity posters and exhibition stands.

Screen Printing - This is quite a specialist form of printing, and we apply it to printing onto fabrics and garments for a durable, high quality result. Another option is inkjet onto heat transfer, but we favour screen printing as a higher quality production method.
