4 Color Printing

It is known that most of the world experiences their lives in color. Color has been proven to affect the human mood, aid relaxation and catch the eye of others. It is an important aspect of everyday life. We rely on color to inform us whether to stop or go on our roads everyday. We also rely on color to bring our memories to life. Whether it is our photographs or postcards or even our items of clothing. In order to make these memories stand out, we use 4-color printing every day.

The history of printing began in the 1300's. This, centuries old, form of printing was used primarily to print on cloth and later developed to woodcut prints for images and text in books. This then developed to movable type before Johan Gutenberg invented the printing press. Gutenberg then introduced an oil-based ink for printing processes to replace the traditional water based ink, which was less durable. In the centuries to come, all developments led the way to 4- color printing and, while not the end of black and white printing, the world was presented with alternatives.

Since its journey through the ages, the printing process has developed and morphed into many varied techniques and types, as listed below:

" Flexography

" Relief Printing

" Screen Printing

" Rotogravure

" Inkjet (which uses 4-color printing properties)

" Laser Printing and

" Pad Printing

All color in the world starts with 3 primary colors i.e. red, green and blue. However, when it comes to the print world, 4-color printing is the only way to go. This kind of printing makes provision for the majority of colors in the color spectrum. 4-color printing is referred to as such because while it uses the 3 primary ink colors for printing, magenta and cyan along with yellow, it includes black aswell. This therefore makes for a print true to life and far more vibrant.

This covers various mediums such as t-shirts, media kits etc… This kind of printing enables a company's logo to stand out and be noted by those whom it aims to attract. 4-color printing on mediums such as t-shirts brings the company's logo and brand to life as color conveys not only a specific image but also a specific feel of the brand.

Who Do You Turn to When You Need A Printing Company Yesterday?

t’s happened to just about all of us – at the very last minute, the boss comes to us with a seemingly impossible demand. 500 business cards for that big seminar tomorrow? 1000 flyers for this weekend’s big trade show? No matter how much you try to explain that rush jobs and quality jobs rarely go hand in hand, there’s no getting around it – you need to get it done. Pronto. Can it be done? Can you find a California printing company who can not only meet that impossible deadline, but do it with professionalism? When you’re facing tight deadlines, there’s no room for errors, and certainly no time to get it right the second time. Fortunately, there is a solution – Bay Area Graphics. Lesley Harrison spent 20 years working in every corner of the printing industry. She’s lived through all the horror stories; the impossible deadlines, the embarrassing mistakes, the nightmare of explaining the same simple thing to countless people over and over again. Recognizing the need for something different, Lesley started Bay Area Graphics.

How is BAG Different From Any Other California Printing Company?

Even when you’re not in a rush, getting a print job can be quite the hassle. There’s the concept and design, printing and distribution. Typically, this involves dealing with several groups of people – creative departments, graphics designers, print shops, fulfillment centers. While each covers a different aspect of your project, they all need to know the full picture in order to get it right. This means explaining your vision over and over again, hoping each person involved comes away with a clear understanding of what you want. At BAG, you don’t have to go through all that. You get the benefit of explaining your goals and requirements once, to someone who understands every aspect of the task. Whether you need creative inspiration or simply complete dedication to success, you’ll find it at Bay Area Graphics. This is a California Printing Company unlike any other. Because Bay Area Graphics isn’t limited to a single printing resource, we are able to access the best equipment at the best prices, enabling us to meet your needs quickly, affordably and professionally. Whether you need to design a new logo, or want to put it on something no one has ever thought to put a logo on before, we can make it happen, on time every time.
