What types of printing can I order online?
You can begin projects for digital printing, traditional offset printing, direct mail, wide-format banners and signs, document management, and litigation copying or scanning. The best production method depends on the quantity, personalization needs, material, finish, and intended use. Sharing your artwork, dimensions, deadline, and distribution goals helps Dupli-Group recommend an appropriate path for the job.
What is the difference between digital and offset printing?
Digital printing is a flexible option for short runs, on-demand materials, and personalized pieces because it does not require traditional printing plates. Offset printing is a conventional production method used for consistent, high-quality printed materials. A print professional can help determine the right choice by reviewing your quantity, turnaround needs, color expectations, and project specifications.
Can you personalize direct mail pieces?
Yes. Dupli-Group’s direct mail operation can personalize correspondence and manage the project from concept through delivery. Printing is completed on a variety of materials in the digital plant, and NCOA Postal Service verification software is used to help identify address changes. This supports more accurate, deliverable mailings before they enter the postal system.
Do you print banners and signs?
Yes. Dupli-Group provides wide-format printing for banners and signs, along with laminating services. Large-format pieces are useful for displays, events, retail environments, and other physical spaces where visibility matters. Before production, confirm the intended placement, size, viewing distance, material needs, and whether a laminated finish is appropriate for the finished application.
Can Dupli-Group help manage recurring print materials?
Yes. Document management services are designed to help businesses organize printed and graphic materials more efficiently. This can reduce the internal effort involved in coordinating repeat items, maintaining brand consistency, and managing multiple print-related projects. It is particularly useful when teams need dependable access to approved materials across ongoing campaigns or business operations.
Do you offer environmentally sustainable printing options?
Dupli-Group is certified for Forest Stewardship Council environmentally sustainable printing and transitioned to 100% soy ink usage in 2005. These practices give environmentally conscious organizations meaningful options when planning printed communications. Discuss your project’s paper, ink, quantity, and finishing requirements early so sustainable considerations can be incorporated into the production recommendation.
What information should I provide for a print estimate?
For a useful estimate, provide the finished size, quantity, number of pages or panels, paper or material preferences, color requirements, finishing needs, artwork status, mailing needs, and desired delivery date. If the project is a banner or sign, include installation environment and dimensions. Clear specifications allow the print team to select suitable production methods and plan efficiently.
How do I prepare artwork for professional printing?
Start with the final dimensions, required bleed, and a high-resolution file appropriate for the intended print size. Keep important text and logos safely inside trim margins, and review colors, spelling, image quality, and page order before submitting. If your project includes variable data, mailing, or special materials, identify those requirements upfront so files can be prepared correctly.
