Our Equipment

At nearly every level, commercial printing is an industry requiring substantial investment in equipment and technology. Further, not only does a printing firm’s production equipment determine the variety and scope of products and services they’re able to offer, but also the level of quality and cost efficiency they’re able to deliver.

And at Graphics 3 we’ve prudently kept abreast of printing technology. Today our operations are well equipped to offer:

  • conventional sheet-fed offset printing - supported by ‘direct-to-plate’ as well as ‘direct-to-press’ technology:
  • 'on-demand' full-color as well as black & white digital printing - including ‘variable data’ capabilities;
  • mail preparation and specialized inkjet printing - for addressing, bar coding and variable text applications.

Plus .  . we've also invested sufficiently in the ancillary equipment and tools necessary to expertly finish what we start.
