Offset Printing

Our experience becomes your experience: At DCI, we see ourselves as a seamless extension of your team. This means that your project becomes our project, and our experience becomes your experience, from pre-press to delivery. Our long–tenured team has been carefully assembled based upon deep levels of expertise in offset printing, but that’s only part of what makes them special. We search out and hire individuals who are well known artisans in their field, but also have positive attitudes regarding customer service, a problem–solving and obstacle–busting orientation, and the consistent determination to do the job right. They have the skills to meet the most demanding standards required in offset, and achieve compelling results.

Pre-press: To help you on the front-end, our graphics staff combines their creativity with a thorough knowledge of traditional and electronic pre-press services, and offset and digital print production, ensuring your project will be handled efficiently. Our Computer-to-Plate (CTP) technology eliminates the manual preparation of plates and dramatically reduces the cycle time from proof to press. All of the pre-press equipment is custom-calibrated to our presses so the color viewed on a proof is the color you will see on the finished product, ever single time.

Our staff is also available to help you with the technical issues involved in file creation, preparation, and printing. Whether you have questions about trapping, PDF files, color issues or any other technical questions, all you need to do is ask. We see ourselves as your print "advisor," asking questions in your language to ensure we deliver what you need, even if you don’t know the terminology or how to express it yourself.

Printing: Once pre–press is complete, you can feel confident that DCI will make your images pop off the sheet like never before. Our presses use the highest quality process and special inks, along with a selection of coating methods such as varnishes and aqueous. We have the ability to print on a variety of materials from the very simple to the complex, producing the finest and most brilliant conventional printing. Your images will contain more detail, less ink on the sheet, increased tonal values, crisper fine lines, cleaner type and better reverses, setting you up for success once they are deployed in your campaign.

You can relax in the knowledge that, despite being focused on meeting deadlines, we will ensure that the highest quality control standards are maintained and keep you updated at every step. Your project won’t get buried with others in lengthy production meetings we like to keep it personal, and everyone’s project is important. That’s because DCI is a company large enough to meet any clients’ needs, but small enough to build and maintain personal relationships. This unrelenting attention to detail and a personal approach takes the stress out of the process for you, creating a satisfying client experience.

Finishing: We offer a wide range of mechanical and hand finishing operations to suit your project. Whether it’s cutting & creasing, perforating, binding, stitching, drilling, laminating, perfect binding, die cutting or something else that you require, our operations can accomplish it. We take every measure to ensure that your final product is of the highest quality – something that will represent your brand proudly.

Our ongoing commitment to staying ahead of the latest technology means that we have the right equipment to handle every level of project sophistication, throughout the entire workflow.
