Last week I had a customer insist I use her photograph of her work to print from. In fairness she was trying to save money, so I agreed, pending a viewing on my calibrated screens. However: on the condition that she understood that taking a vital part of the colour workflow out of my hands means I have no control or reference, and can't make any guarantees of any kind. We went ahead with a print, collected, and she seemed happy. Fast forward 2 days and I get a message asking if I can do the full digitisation of the original and reprint. Of course i agreed, And gave her a nice discount on the reprint :-) Lesson: Never take a vital part of a calibrated colour process away from the specialist. Every step is there for a reason. I have calibrated lighting, polarising filters, a 60MP (240MP in pixel shift) camera and specialist lenses, calibrated screens, specialist viewing lighting, calibration charts for each shoot, a 12-ink archival quality printing system, each paper stock is profiled and proofed. And all that from just £45 per digitisation. - The final version: #giclee #printing #artprints

From Gem Blastock @turquoisegem_home 💜 Did you know… Every product I sell through @turquoisegem_home is 100% hand screen-printed by me? (vote in my poll below👇 ) I’m the power behind all the prints, and this week I’ve been showing some of my screen printing process. It is a craft that allows me to blend my human touch with precision. Each step demands attention to detail and human intervention through a hands-on approach, from the designing phase to preparing the screen and actual printing. Imperfections inherent in my hand screen printing contribute to the charm, making each print unique. In an age dominated by digital technologies, my hand-screen printing adds an irreplaceable element of craftsmanship and soul to the finished product, making each piece a work of art in its own right.

Before printing your designs, here are three things you should know! 🖨️🖼️ 1. Color Counts: Make sure that your file is in CMYK rather than RGB. Accurate rendition of color is ensured by this. 2. Sometimes, size really does matter: For crisp prints, establish a minimum canvas size (such as 4000 x 5000 pixels) and keep the resolution at 300 pixels per inch or above. 3. File Format: To maintain quality and avoid compression problems, save your file in a print-friendly format such as PDF or TIFF. Did you check these 3 things before sending your files for printing?? #graphicdesign #printdesign #printing

This is an order recently requested by one of our clients. We created six different color schemes in total. The one shown in the video is a simple drawer box without any special finishing. During the #sampling process, the following steps were required: ✅ Printing and matte lamination after drying: To protect the printed content on the packaging. ✅ Die-cutting: Using a die-cutting machine to ensure precise folding lines. ✅ Manual folding: Completing a sample of the drawer box through manual folding. It’s important to note that samples often need repeated adjustments to ensure the best outcome for mass production. The final product will be showcased in our next video. #Custompackagingsolutions #Eyeglasscasepackaging #Packagingdesign #Sampleproduction #Premiumpackaging #Packagingefficiency #Printandlamination #Highqualitypackaging #Customgiftboxes #Professionalpackagingservices #Packaginginnovation
