Images are ink-printed on rubber cylanders that are in turn

transferred onto various materials for business cards. These materials are limited

only by your imagination but include wood,

cloth, leather, and rough or smooth paper. Custom offset business cards are by

no means the only goods produced with lithography though they are the most

It is this artistic approach to printing that makes custom offset business cards so alluring to our customers looking for understated luxury to convey their brand’s message. Where letterpress is literally more impressive, offset seeks to explore and exploit the limitations of one-dimensionality. Flat surfaces and smooth moves; offset pops off while maintaining an even level.

FLAT SURFACES SMOOTH MOVES

Custom offset is the global, tacit agreement in the discourse of opulence when it comes to large-scale commercial printing. Invented in Germany in 1796 and played with by Romantic French painter  Eugène Delacroix in the first half of the 19th-century, lithography has made its mark on the art world as well as the printing industry. Master printers collaborate with artists to give birth to some of the most iconic art. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec  and  Édouard Manet  explored freedom of motion and the fleeting qualities of light with lithography.
