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.

Nowadays, printing choices are highly varied with their services and methods. You must choose a printing company that is right for your requirements. You must consider three important factors for the company. It will help you to determine which one is right for you and your budget. The three factors are quality, quantity and production speed. Let’s understand a bit more about a few popular types of printing services:

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.

Identify which type of printing you require the most. Then choose a service provider who excels in that specific type of printing.
