Press
Services
When it comes to advancements in the printing industry, Philadelphia Print & Color
is at the forefront of technology. We have the capability to print digitally
with the Heidelberg Quickmaster DI Digital Press. This revolutionary system
allows you to go directly to press with your digital file producing plates
directly from postscript output. This direct imaging press is environmentally
sound because it uses no film, no processing chemicals, no plate making
solutions, no toners and no dampening chemicals. It is also more affordable
and delivers waterless offset quality in resolutions as high as 2540 dpi.
The same projects that were limited to black-and-white or spot-color production
due to time or budget restrictions can now be printed in full process color. |

| The Heidelberg Speedmaster Six Color Press Plus Aqueous
Coating has proven to be a stronger, higher quality protection than
varnish. This press gives us the versatility to print on paper thickness
from onion skin to forty point board. It delivers unsurpassed printing
quality with a maximum sheet size of 28” x 40.125”. The
Speedmaster has a continuous feed feature which allows the pressman
to load the paper without shutting down. This means faster turnaround
for our customers. |

Digital
on Demand Services
It has never been easier or more affordable to harness the benefits of
print on demand, electronic storage/distribution and 1:1 marketing. Philadelphia
Print & Color is pleased to bring you the DocuTech 6135, the cutting
edge of digital printing with an output of up to 135 pages per minute
and a laser raster output of 600 dpi. The DocuTech also permits usage
of a huge array of paper input/output options. Delivery and quality is
assured for your short run printing needs.
The LightJet 430 image quality is superior to competitive photo
printers because its imaging technology ensures a constant pixel
size, shape and intensity over the entire image. Media is held
stationary within a precision internal drum, while a spinning
mirror directs laser light to expose reflective and backlit photographic
material. Using red, green and blue lasers, the LightJet 430
achieves true continuous-tone photographs without visible dots.
Inkjet and electrostatic printers, which simulate photo quality
with half-tone dot patterns, would need to image at 4000 dpi
to duplicate the same image crispness, highlights and shadow
detail. LightJet 430 digital photo printers set the standard
for backlit displays. The LightJet 430 design incorporates advanced
laser technology to optimize color range and color resolution.
Its 36-bit color space, capable of producing 68 million colors,
ensures optimum control over the light source to reproduce color
with perfect fidelity. In comparison, other photo printers are
limited to 24 bits or 16.7 million colors.
The HP Indigo press combines the creative flexibility of digital
printing with the quality of an
offset press. This unique functionality enables Philadelphia Print & Color
to produce everything from customized documents to personalized marketing
material - quickly, easily and economically.
It is the ideal solution for the moderate to high volume production of
four- to six-color, on-demand and personalized print production, the
perfect tool for your variable printing needs.

Wide-Format
Services
Wide-format production presses provide a digital alternative
to conventional screen printing on short and medium run jobs.
Digital presses use continuous drop-on-demand inkjet technology
to produce high quality graphics for a wide range of applications.
These include point-of-purchase displays, banners, sheet billboards,
bus shelter graphics, posters, shopping mall displays, airport
terminal displays and many more. The machines can print on a
wide variety of standard media including: matt or gloss finish
paper, PVC banner material, mesh, canvas, cotton and more in
roll-to-roll or roll-to-sheet modes.
ENCAD’s proprietary Octachrome™ ink sets combine
a unique set of four new colors with ENCAD’s existing four-color
process inks. The NovaJet 850’s eight-color performance
produces incredible color gamut and smooth tonal gradations that
far exceed that of standard six-color printers.
The NovaJet 880 is a hybrid sensation––printing
up to eight vibrant colors on both flexible media and rigid media
up to 1/2” (12.7 mm) thick. The NovaJet 880 boasts all
the color, flexibility, and speed of the award-winning NovaJet
850––then adds the major benefit of superior image
quality on a wider range of substrates.
Vuteks digital printers can print on a wide variety of substrates,
including vinyl, pressure sensitive, paper, mesh and textiles.
They can print up to 6.7 feet in width. 720 dpi resolution produces
images that are sharp, crisp and consistent.
Digital ink jet printers use water-based inks. It is for this
reason that we recommend lamination or encapsulation on all of
our inkjet prints.
