|---|---|
| Specialty | Mimaki UV flatbed + roll-to-roll, white ink |

| Lamination | Automatic roll laminator, every order |
1. Prepress
A human opens your file. We check resolution at final size, bleed, safe zone, transparency and color mode, build or verify the contour path, and nest the job on the roll to minimize waste. You get a proof showing all of it.
2. Printing
Our Epson SureColor presses run 11 inks: cyan, light cyan, magenta, light magenta, yellow, orange, green, violet, black, light black and light light black. The industry norm is 4-color CMYK. Those extra inks are why brand oranges, greens and violets land accurately here and shift at a 4-color shop, and why gradients render smooth instead of banded.
For white ink, rigid substrates and specialty films, jobs move to our Mimaki UV flatbed and roll-to-roll machines.
3. Lamination
Every sticker is laminated. It is not an upsell here. The clear UV film is what delivers the 5+ year outdoor rating, the scratch resistance and the dishwasher tolerance. Printers who skip it are shipping something that will fade in a season.
4. Cutting
Summa S-Class contour cutters with OPOS optical registration read printed marks physically on the material, cancelling out any stretch, then cut to ±0.1 mm. Rigid and oversize work goes to a Kongsberg X24 CNC table. No steel dies, so any shape costs the same as any other.
5. Weeding, QC and pack
Excess material is removed by hand, every job is inspected against the approved proof for color, registration and cut quality, then counted and packed. Rejects get reprinted before shipping, not after you complain.
