Impression Making
Impression Making
Zinc plates are cast based on our artwork and impression is done through painstaking registration (getting the impression stamp to line up with the artwork if foils are not being used). It took us 2 years to fully wrap our heads around impression making. We understand registration thresholds (we know the limits of typeface size). We understand paper. What looks good and what gets the best results depending on the job at hand. Trust our advise. We are the experts. Do we ever make mistakes? Yes. But all in the name of pushing the limits. And you never have to pay for our mistakes.
We know it's what you want. It may even be why you're checking out our website. You may have seen some of our work floating around. It looks like letterpress--but it's not. It's impression making. We use a Heidelberg windmill to do our impressions, but the plates are not inked. Inking is either done prior to impression through offset printing. Or color is directly applied through the impression by way of "hot foil stamping." Our foils come in a range of colored metallics and matte foils.

When we brand and design stationary collateral for our clients, we interface with our press on a constant basis. There is no such thing as "outsourcing" in our dictionary. Our team is either on the floor while production is going on, or members are in close proximity. It's usually Amoury who has his hand on the production pulse.
The industrial areas are very well organized and this puts us into close proximity to the bulk of our suppliers. This means that most production jobs take us half the time to do.
We frequent the Emirates Fine Art Society in Sharjah. We love that place because it is one of the only spots in the UAE that takes print making seriously, offering support and workshops to all people who love the craft.
