Photos & Graphic Gradients

While we can do photographic and gradients on the letterpress, it requires a rather coarse halftone screen, and only works well on coated smooth commercial stock. We recommend any 'continuous' tone images be printed by offset litho or digital printing, and we can then do the letterpress imprinting on the same sheet.

The offset press also uses halftones, but can use a much finer screen. Digital four-color offset is also available.

Of course, if you know the effect of halftone on uncoated paper and you're looking for just that effect, we're happy to print it for you.

However, your art must be pre-screened (typically in Photoshop) and saved as a 1-bit (B&W) TIFF — NOT A JPEG!

 Communication is the key, so talk to us, and we'll try to get what you're looking for!

However, our standard disclaimers will apply!
