How to choose the right printing service
Managed
Printing Services (MPS) is the process whereby an external service provider is
engaged to manage the entire printing requirements of a company. The service
provider will usually be a specialist in the field of print production. MPS
include every printed item that a company uses – visiting cards, letterheads,
brochures, leaflets, books, etc. The benefit of MPS is that the service provider
will usually be able to reduce the overall print spend of a company while
consolidating with a single provider.

Printing
services and methods:
Digital
printing:
The
digital file can be sent directly from a computer to a digital press. Digital
printing can be done on paper, plastic, cloth, and several other surfaces. Digital
printing services are available at an effective cost if one needs to print in
low quantity. In Dubai, it is widely used for brochure
printing. High-end digital printing is especially used for vinyl
banners and large posters.
Offset
printing:
A
widely used printing service
in Dubai is offset lithography. In offset lithography, the ink is
transferred from a metal plate to a blanket and then onto a paper. It can be
used to print medium and large quantities and is used to print items such as books,
brochures, stationery, catalogs, postcards, and business cards. When compared
with digital printing, offset printing can take more time.
Screen
printing:
Many
printing presses in
Dubai offers this technique where a screen is placed on top of a fabric
or paper. Ink is placed on top of the screen and this goes through the gaps in
the screen and sets on the fabric or paper underneath. The process must be
repeated for each color and this can only be done after the ink has dried on
the surface. This is widely used for printing on garments.
