DI or Direct Imaging Offset Printing Presses

Comment Comments Closed

Printing Responsibly uses DI presses, which bring 2 different types of advantages, performance and environmental.

  • DI presses get to approved color in as little as 12 minutes, which saves paper and energy.
  • DI presses print at 300 line screen, which is 50% higher resolution than conventional offset presses (typical presses max. 200 linescreen)
  • DI presses use soy based inks, which make it easier to separate ink from paper in the recycling process, and of course it doesn’t hurt to use natural ingredients when making anything.
  • DI presses are waterless, this eliminates the normal dampening system in a press that requires water and chemistry to mix.
  • DI presses use temperature to control imaging.

    Who prints What at with Printing Responsibly?

    Comment Post a Comment

    Well, it has been quite an experience taking our business from phones, email and all the other typical business communications methods to a more streamlined and more customer oriented web application to sell our products and service our customers.

    We started out getting a lot of traffic from our fellow “techies” out there, and quickly were found out by the freelance designers in the world. Next we were fortunate to work with many of the hardworking and very talented freelance and graphic designer firms all across the US, then we started getting inquiries and live jobs from corporate america, top clothing brands and non-profit groups, who of course were buying recycled paper based print jobs.

    Who?
    Ralph Lauren, Verdura Jewelers, US Helicopters, Silas Partners, a group of 17 doctors in Virginia, a Bio-Deisel company in California, Pentagon Software, a movie producer, Phoenix Marketing, UsedBicycleBuyer.com, Viacube, and not to mention AIGA.org/The United Nations, the non-profit group that is helping to build alliances and programs internationally for graphic designers.

    What? Pocket folders, business stationery, many, many orders on recycled paper, brochures, envelopes, business cards, sell sheets, postcards, photo printing, giclee prints and many others.

    We are very happy to have worked with such great organizations, brands and non-profit groups.

    Thank you for all your support,

    The Marketing Team at Printing Responsibly

    Stationery

    Welcome to the page that will help you get the best quality stationery.

    Basically, stationery is the simplest form of business communication there is. Business cards, letterhead, envelopes, announcement cards, etc. are all simple forms of printed communications, but when crafted poorly, these staples of a good business practice can really hurt you.

    So, the pitfalls are;
    Really cheap stationery printers - Because they will not put the craftmanship into the printing, trimming, packing, and paper choices that you will need.
    Full Color Stationery only printers - Because they cannot offer you match color or spot color (Pantone®) PMS color inks to ensure a good color match througout your stationery set and beyond into other printing you may do like a sales kit. We offer PMS matching inks throughout our stationery lines and pocket folders as well.

    We offer the traditional craftmanship that you need, quality paper choices from all the top brands from, Mohawk, Strathmore, Wausau, Neenah and more. We offer you color choices of recycled papers, like Neenah Environments and Mohawk Writing.
