Offset printing is what we know printing to be today. Big presses are loaded up with your job and shot out at lightning speed. The results are
true to the design and the ink sits flat on the paper. You can't feel it. The colors are vivid, smooth, and true. Most everything is offset
printed these days...the flyers in the mail, mass-produced greeting cards, magazines, advertising, brochures...the list goes on and on.
Offset printing can cost less than letterpress for small projects...it is a fine choice when your budget is a concern.

Thermography: to quote Wikipedia: "Thermography printing is also a post print process done immediately after printing. It can be done inline or
offline as long as the ink is wet. Thermography powder is applied to the sheet of paper after it leaves the printing press. The sheet is then vacuumed
or shaken to remove excess powder. This leaves powder only where there is wet ink. The sheet then travels through a heat tunnel; there the heat
causes the powder to melt which leaves a raised effect. It is commonly used on letterheads, business cards, greetings cards, gift wrap,
packaging and can also be used to print braille text."
It looks and feels like engraving. You can run your fingers over the letters and feel that they are raised up off the page. They have a shiny look to them.
This technique is used when you need it to feel "more special" than just using regular offset printing. Megan creates... teams up with a great vendor
for offset printing, engraving, and thermography if you so choose to use these techniques instead of letterpress. Prices will vary and time must be
alloted to work with the vendor for such projects. It's all up to you!
