When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat (planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a water-based film (called "fountain solution"), keeping the non-printing areas ink-free.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The modern "web" process feeds a large reel of paper through a large press machine in several parts, typically for several meters, which then prints continuously as the paper is fed through.<br><br><b>Development of the offset press came in two versions:</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;">1.

CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: <b>C</b>yan, <b>M</b>agenta, <b>Y</b>ellow and <b>K</b>ey (blac<b>K</b>). </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The CMYK model works by partially or entirely masking colors on a lighter, usually white, background. The ink reduces the light that would otherwise be reflected. Such a model is called subtractive because inks "subtract" brightness from white.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">In additive color models such as RGB, white is the "additive" combination of all primary colored lights, while black is the absence of light. In the CMYK model, it is the opposite: white is the natural color of the paper or other background, while black results from a full combination of colored inks. To save cost on ink, and to produce deeper black tones, unsaturated and dark colors are produced by using black ink instead of the combination of cyan, magenta and yellow.</span></p><p></p></div>

LED technology uses a light-emitting diode array as a light source in the printhead instead of the laser used in laser printers and, more generally, in the xerography process. The LED bar pulse-flashes across the entire page width and creates the image on the print drum or belt as it moves past.</p><p style="font-size:15px;margin-bottom:24px;">LEDs are more efficient and reliable than conventional laser printers, since they have fewer moving parts, allowing for less mechanical wear. Depending on design, LED printers can have faster rates of print than some laser-based designs, and are generally cheaper to manufacture. In contrast to LED printers, laser printers require combinations of rotating mirrors and lenses that must remain in alignment throughout their use. The LED printhead has no moving parts.</p><p style="font-size:15px;margin-bottom:24px;">UV-LED printer technologies refer to a non-impact, inkjet printing technique that instantly cures jetted ink droplets directly onto the printable substrate. The UV-LED lamp that houses the LEDs emit energy onto the specially formulated UV-LED ink, which contains photoinitiators and are reactive to the energy emitted by the UV-LED lamp.</p><p style="font-size:15px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/srinivasaaarts/videos/1204104142967783/"><b>Neon UV LED Printer for Plastic Printing</b><b>&nbsp;</b></a>:</p><p></p></div>

Your company brochure, however, can be in many places, helping you influence potential and existing customers. An effective brochure clearly and succinctly outlines what a company is about and what it has to offer. A poorly constructed brochure only confuses, frustrates and chases potential customers into the welcoming arms of the competition.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;">The following tips explain how to design a brochure that will properly represent your mission, outline what you have to offer your target audience and serve as an effective marketing and sales tool.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="4"><b>A good headline is key.</b></font> The headline on the front of your brochure should always include the interests and perceived problems of your targeted audience, and be followed by the solutions you can provide. Many business owners mistakenly lead with their company's basic information. It's imperative, however, to capture your audience's attention and prompt them to read the rest of the brochure. Why bother taking the time to create a great brochure if your audience only reads the front and then discards it?</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="4"><b><br></b></font></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="4"><b>Remember the basics.</b></font> Don't ignore the basics when creating a brochure; it should include standard information, such as company name, at least two types of contact information, a logo and tagline. It should also include a headline on the front and two or three brief items outlining benefits your organization can provide. All text should be in brief, easy-to-read blocks to provide clarity for the reader. Add graphic images and photos of your product, services and/or key personnel for an eye-catching touch.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><font size="4">Don't confuse the reader</font>.</b> Avoid the temptation to list too much information on your brochure. Too many messages will confuse your audience and dilute your main points. Focus on what interests your target audience in a succinct manner, and they'll come away with an accurate understanding of what you can offer them and how you'll do it. It's OK to be proud of your business, but not at the expense of cluttering your brochure with irrelevant information.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="4"><b>Avoid big words.</b></font> There's no need to impress your target audience by using hard-to-understand words that will send the reader scrambling for a dictionary. Your goal is to provide the reader with information regarding your organization, and triple-word-score Scrabble words and lengthy acronyms are hardly the best way to accomplish this. Plain speak is the best course of action.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="4"><b><br></b></font></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="4"><b>Include a call to action.</b></font> Don't assume your audience will be moved to contact you or purchase your product or services after they read your well-crafted brochure<b>.</b> An effective brochure should include a call to action, such as an offer for a free product sample or a free estimate or gift. This will entice readers and give them an incentive to act. Sometimes people need that extra motivation to contact you.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="4"><b><br></b></font></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><font size="4">Don't be flimsy.</font></b>A firm brochure is the equivalent of a firm handshake; it promotes confidence and competence. The weight, texture and overall feel are some of the first things someone will notice about your brochure. Use high-quality paper with a glossy finish to create a brochure that stands out. Handing out or mailing thin, flimsy brochures will signal that you put little thought and even less effort into developing your marketing materials.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;">Regardless of your business size or financial or design resources, the above tips will assist you in creating a brochure that will properly represent your organization, impress potential customers and call them to action.</p><br><p></p></div>

It's often the first item prospects receive from you, so it's your first opportunity to make a strong, positive impression on them.</font></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><font size="3"><br></font></p><font size="3"><p style="text-align:justify;">Cheaper isn't always better when it comes to first impressions. Give clients a great first impression with these tips and tactics:</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Design Tips</b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><b>Tip #1:</b> Enlist the help of a professional designer unless you have the requisite skills to design your business card yourself.</b> Ideally, this person's also tasked with designing your other collateral (letterhead, brochures, website, etc.), so it'll be intuitive to carry your brand image through from those pieces to your card.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><b>Tip #2:</b> Keep it simple.</b> Business cards are typically just 3.5" x 2", so you don't have too much space with which to work. Don't make your logo too large, don't make the type too small to be comfortably read, and don't be afraid to use white space.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><b>Tip #3:</b> Keep to the standard business card size--unless you're the adventurous type.</b> There are things you can do to a 3.5" x 2" card to differentiate yourself (e.g., rounded corners), but going with an unusual shape can be tricky. A round card, for instance, is quite memorable, but it certainly won't fit in standard business-card holder devices. You must be willing to trade convenience for memorability if you choose an unconventional shape or size.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><b>Tip #4:</b> Be deliberate in choosing the information to appear on your card.</b> What's most important? Your name certainly needs to be there, along with the name of your company (via your logo), your phone number and your e-mail address. Space permitting, you can add your physical address, fax number, cell-phone number and company website address, if desired. Don't clutter things up too much--as with the design, simpler and cleaner is always better.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><b>Tip #5:</b> Keep the back blank, or use it for non-critical information.</b> How often will people see the back of your business card? Traditional card storage modes assume that side is blank. If you do wish to put copy on it, be sure the information is of a supplemental nature: e.g., your company's mission or tagline. While business cards should promote your brand identity, they shouldn't be confused with advertising.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b><br></b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><b>The Bottom Line</b></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;">Think about how you use other people's business cards when you make decisions regarding your own. Do you get frustrated when you can't quickly find the information you need? Or the type is too small to read? Or printed in a font that's hard to decipher? Do cheaply produced cards make you think less of the person or company represented? Does it take you a while to realize whose card it is, or what company that person works for?</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Don't make those same mistakes when designing your business card. Make sure it's a positive reflection of both you and your company, and it mirrors your well-defined brand identity.</p></font><font size="3"></font><p></p></div>
