Wintry Press has produced many offset and digital jobs. And, I know that I’ve mentioned before how impressed I am, and the Wintry clients are with the results on uncoated paper. Wintry recently produced a job for a high end jewelry company. The piece was a card that printed 4 color on 1 side, and black on the back. The quantity was small, and so it made sense to run digitally. However, the specified paper was an uncoated cover stock with the eggshell finish. This particular paper is not available with the surfacing for digital printing. But, this is the paper the client wanted, so we got some sample sheets and ran a test. The paper worked well, even though it was not treated for digital printing. We ran the full job on this paper, and the results were just great. As I’ve mentioned before, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to print this well conventionally. Of course, the client was very happy, and consequently we were too. Now, we have to figure out a way to get those results, or close, when the quantities get too big for digital printing. Wintry Press being the (“we’ll figure it out”) company will…well, figure it out. We’ll keep you posted.
