Waterless printing is a new tech of printing, which is more friendly to environment. There are some information about it.

Waterless printing is an offset lithographic printing process that eliminates the water or dampening system used in conventional printing. In conventional printing, a delicate balance must be struck between the amount of ink and water to create the desired effect. In addition, chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol and other substitutes must be used.

Waterless printing, in contrast, uses a simple, chemical-free mechanical process. The variable that must be controlled is the temperature, rather than the amount of chemicals, water and ink. The waterless press has a special silicone rubber-coated printing plate and specifically designed ink.

Every knows business cards are important and want their business cards well printed. But how? There are many tips.

Can You Afford Your Business Card?

Have you taken a long, objective look at your business cards lately?

Ask yourself:

What are your business cards telling your customers and prospects about you?
Do they convey the image you want?
Are they accurate and up-to-date?
Do they provide complete information?

Do they make people want to do business with you?

If not, can you AFFORD to keep using them? Think about what your current card is costing you, in terms of lost sales and missed opportunities. Can you afford to delay replacing them?

If you haven’t updated your cards in the last year, if you’re using generic “printer’s special” cards, or, heaven forbid, if you’re using pre-perforated cards, it’s time to take a fresh look at your best promotional tool.

First things first. Look at the OBVIOUS information on your card.

ACCURACY: Is the information on your card up-to-date? If you’ve added a website or new location, changed phone numbers, or been promoted to a new position, redo your cards to reflect the changes. Passing out cards with crossed-out phone numbers is a sure way to lose credibility with customers. So, too, is using a photograph so “retouched” that your mom wouldn’t recognize you.

QUANTITY: Does your card have enough information? Mere contact details are no longer enough. Describe what your business does and who it does it for, if it’s not evident from the name. Give people a reason to do business with you. Are you exceptionally skilled (awards, certifications, experience)? Easier to locate? Open longer hours? Do you offer free delivery, free training, or free estimates? (Design hint: Don’t drop the font size and cram all that information on the front. Use the BACK of your card or a folding business card.)

Now look at the SUBTLE messages your card is sending. Remember that your business card is YOU, and you may only have a few seconds to catch and keep someone’s attention with it.

STYLE: Is your business card classy? A card in an appropriate, tasteful color, with a nice texture and an attractive logo or photo is much more likely to be kept than a “plain vanilla” card. It shows that you’re different from your competition … that you believe in yourself enough to invest in your business … that you’re willing to put forth some extra effort. There are simple ways to add a distinctive touch. For example, rather than a photo of your head, add a photo of you doing whatever you do … driving your sparkling-clean taxi, repairing that blankety-blank computer, or selling that dream home.

USEFULNESS: Is your business card useful? Almost ANY business can add something relevant to their business or industry which prospective customers will find useful. A tire salesman can add a mark that indicates the minimum safe tread depth. A Realtor can add a mortgage calculator, or addresses of carpet cleaners, home improvement specialists, or siding installers. (Of course, a savvy realtor will ask those business owners to distribute HIS cards, in return.)

UNIQUENESS: Is your business card different from your competitors? In other words, how are YOU different from your competitors? If you’re the only dog groomer in town come pick up Fifi and return her looking adorable and smelling clean, say so! But don’t assume people will read your card to find that out. Show them a picture or a clever cartoon. Use color or an unusual (but legible) font. Turn your card into a coupon redeemable for a “Free collar of your choice!” when 10 boxes have been stamped on the back.

In short — if your business is worth promoting, it’s worth promoting right. Don’t ruin a good impression with a bad business card.

Every knows business cards are important and want their business cards well printed. But how? There are many tips.

Are you saddled with a “ho-hum” business card, one that’s about as exciting as watching paint dry?

Never fear. You can give ordinary cards a little “pizzazz” without spending a cent. Given the fact that people expect someone who’s serious about their business to have a card, you can’t afford to let this versatile and portable marketing tool languish in the depths of your desk drawers.

Here are three free ways to make an ordinary card seem extraordinary.

1. Use both hands to give someone your card
Next time you want to give someone your business card, make it a presentation. Turn the card face up with the text facing the receiver, and then slowly, carefully, give them the card. You want to convey the impression that your card contains such valuable information that you wouldn’t give it to just anyone. Treat it as if it was a precious commodity, and the person receiving it will definitely notice.

2. Punch a hole in your card.
Use a standard hole punch and “snap!” put a hole somewhere on your card. Odds are you’ll be asked about it! That gives you a great opening to give more information about your product or service.

A window washer might say: “That hole lets you see through the card very easily, doesn’t it? You’ll see just as well through your windows, too!”

If you run a dating service, the hole could represent the emptiness people feel without someone to love.

If you sell insurance, the hole could illustrate the gap in coverage your company can certainly fill.

If you sell weight loss products, the hole might represent the “empty stomach” feeling you get on traditional diets.

Get the idea? You can even spend $5 or so and buy a themed punch, say in the shape of a house or a heart.

3. Write on your card.

Anything you do to personalize your card increases its value and makes it more likely to be kept. You can merely sign your name, or go further and write down the name of the product you recommend. You can write “10% discount” on the card, initial it, and tell the receiver to bring it into your store. You can even write private information on your card, such as your home phone number, which really makes the receiver feel special.

Another way to add value to your card (and to other people’s cards, too) isn’t free but offers great returns on a one-time investment. And that’s the purchase of a classy or unique business card holder or case.

Try to find one with two sections so you can separate cards you give and cards you get. Buy two separate cases if you can afford it. And make a point of using them! You can really impress a prospective customer by taking time to really look at his or her card before carefully tucking it away into a sturdy case. The care with which you treat that card subconsciously equates to the care with which you’ll treat their business.

Remember, creating a card that people keep is only partly about the card — it’s about you, too. If you’re creative and helpful when presenting your card, you’ll likely be perceived as someone who’s creative and helpful in business dealings too. And who would toss the card of a valuable contact like that?

Vibrant Colors

Waterless printing delivers greater print contrast. This means the darkest areas look darker and deeper and the highlights look brighter and cleaner. Your images take on a dimensional quality not possible with conventional offset printing. And when printing process color you can reproduce more colors with waterless.

True to Life

Waterless printing allows printers to print higher ink densities; that’s why waterless printing looks much richer than conventional printing, even at the same screen rulings.

Better Resolution

Waterless printing offers higher color saturation, greater print contrast and, at 300 lines, more detail. Additionally, in subjects with regular, linear patterns, a 300-line screen ruling can often eliminate a moire that would normally occur if a 150- or 175-line screen were used.

Larger Waterless Color Space

For graphic designers, waterless printing changes things for the better. Photographic shadow detail is rendered more clearly through reduced dot gain. Best of all, higher waterless densities expand the color gamut and produce more saturated color.

There are several ways to create a stencil for screen printing. An early method was to create it by hand in the desired shape, either by cutting the design from a non-porous material and attaching it to the bottom of the screen, or by painting a negative image directly on the screen with a filler material which became impermeable when it dried. For a more painterly technique, the artist would choose to paint the image with drawing fluid, wait for the image to dry, and then coat the entire screen with screen filler. After the filler had dried, water was used to spray out the screen, and only the areas that were painted by the drawing fluid would wash away, leaving a stencil around it. This process enabled the artist to incorporate their hand into the process, to stay true to their drawing.

A method that has increased in popularity over the past 70 years is the photo emulsion technique:

1. The original image is created on a transparent overlay such as acetate or tracing paper. The image may be drawn or painted directly on the overlay, photocopied, or printed with an inkjet or laser printer, as long as the areas to be inked are opaque. A black-and-white positive may also be used (projected on to the screen). However, unlike traditional platemaking, these screens are normally exposed by using film positives.
2. A screen must then be selected. There are several different mesh counts that can be used depending on the detail of the design being printed. Once a screen is selected, the screen must be coated with emulsion and let to dry in the dark. Once dry, the screen is ready to be burned/exposed.
3. The overlay is placed over the emulsion-coated screen, and then exposed with a light source containing ultraviolet light in the 350-420 nanometer spectrum. The UV light passes through the clear areas and create a polymerization (hardening) of the emulsion.
4. The screen is washed off thoroughly. The areas of emulsion that were not exposed to light dissolve and wash away, leaving a negative stencil of the image on the mesh.

Photographic screens can reproduce images with a high level of detail, and can be reused for tens of thousands of copies. The ease of producing transparent overlays from any black-and-white image makes this the most convenient method for artists who are not familiar with other printmaking techniques. Artists can obtain screens, frames, emulsion, and lights separately; there are also preassembled kits, which are especially popular for printing small items such as greeting cards.

Another advantage of screen printing is that large quantities can be produced rapidly with new automatic presses, up to 1800 shirts in 1 hour.[18] The current speed loading record is 1805 shirts printed in one hour, documented on 18 February 2005. Maddie Sikorski of the New Buffalo Shirt Factory in Clarence, New York (USA) set this record at the Image Wear Expo in Orlando, Florida, USA, using a 12-colour M&R Formula Press and an M&R Passport Automatic Textile Unloader. The world speed record represents a speed that is over four times the typical average speed for manual loading of shirts for automated screen printing.

For all format printing, although you might create and archive artwork in its originating application in its “native” format such as PSD, AI, etc., you might also want to save a copy of the file to send to a client or offsite for output.

The Save As option in the File menu allows you to save a copy of the file in one of the standard formats. Save As also allows you to rename the file, flatten layers, simplify artwork, reduce the file size, and remove any extras such as annotations, paths, etc

Know as format printing, most file formats are made to handle a specific kind of artwork, typically either vector or raster art. Luckily, in the print world, recommended file formats handle both kinds of artwork very well. So how do you know which format to use, and when?

It gets a bit confusing when we realize that mainstay applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and QuarkXPress can use raster as well as vector art before we print formats. So to exchange files between these applications, you should use “standard” formats that can contain any kind of artwork for saving and opening across applications and platforms.

The main players in this category for format printing are the TIFF, EPS, and PDF formats. Each uses the exact same image data but writes the file with specific permissions and limitations for editing and manipulating the file content in applications.
