Buying Print made Simple
At Palm Group we strongly believe you should have the information you need to take control of the buying of your printing to make sure you get what you want, when you want it, at the price you want to pay. We have created a few simple articles and will be uploading them to our website regularly which we hope will explain the common terms used in printing to help you achieve this.
Full Colour Printing, CMYK, Four Colour Printing, Process Colours, are all terms used by printers.
When you hear any of these terms it simply means that all the colours you see on your printed copy is produced using the CMYK color model.
CMYK simply refers to the four inks used in the printing process in varying densities of screen to achieve all the colours you see.
C is cyan (a blue-green colour), M is magenta (a reddish pink colour), Y is yellow, and K is black, (called K because it is the key plate).
At Palm Print & Design we have a four colour printing machine which prints each colour cyan, magenta, yellow and black on each sheet of material as it passes through the machine at the same time.
The picture above of Sunny, Ben’s one year old Rottweiler, he also has a Cocker Spaniel called Meg and a Cat called Ted, shows the CMYK breakdown of colours which, when printed on the same sheet overlay to produce the full colour picture.
If the printer you currently buy from does not have a four colour printing machine your printing will cost you more. Why, because they will need to put the same sheet of material through their machine more than once and you will be charged for the extra time this takes or they will be paying a trade printer to produce your printing and adding their charge on before they pass you the invoice. We have helped customers who have been charged double the cost it should have been. Contact us NOW and we will help you save that cost.
Palm Print & Design supports Hull charities
At Palm Group we believe local businesses should support local charities and activities, one of the many we currently support is the Minsters’ Rail Campaign. The Minsters’ Rail Campaign promotes the re-opening of the train line from Hull to York via Beverley and we have supported the campaign by printing leaflets, newsletters, letterheads, campaign posters and also the photography of events to be used in the local papers and publicity material free of charge for the last 10 years.
The enthusiastic and creative chairman of the campaign is George McManus, a long time friend of ours who recently arranged for the display, over the Christmas period at Beverley Minster, of a 4mm scale model reproduction of Market Weighton Station in the mid 1930s. On Thursday 15th at the opening ceremony we went along as usual to deliver the free leaflets and take the photographs to promote this exhibition.
You can visit the Minster and see the model working, it is superb, or if you would like more information about the campaign visit their website www.minstersrail.org.uk. If you would like any photos to help promote the The Minsters’ Rail Campaign contact us and we will provide free of charge.
If you feel your charity or activity helps the community and would benefit from our support in any way, contact us 01482 568179 and ask for Mike or send us an email I promise I will reply.
