What type of paper do you recommend?

Offset or digital printing?

Offset printing is the traditional method that takes longer but usually produces the best quality. Often varnishes are used to assist drying and scuffing and there is a lot of control over the colour.

Digital printing has improved in quality over the years and is now close to offset quality printing. It’s usually used for short runs and has the added ability for variable data (every sheet personalized).
