Great prints don&#8217;t begin on the press &#8211; they start with a great design. We&#8217;ve grown our business by producing the highest quality product. How do we do it? We consult our customers at all stages of design and printing to assure continuity.<br />
Pantone color separations, press-ready pdf&#8217;s and outlined fonts are just a few of our favorite things. For new designers, these may be familiar terms, but the experience that seasoned professionals bring to the table is always welcome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For awhile, offset printing was virtually forgotten, until someone realized that they had abandoned a classic, with qualities that digital could never match.  A kind of Prodigal Son story.  &#8220;Everything old is new again&#8221;. The sort of cache that goes vinyl LPs, or driving a vintage sports car.  Or playing a edgy new song on an old instrument. <span id="more-764"></span> A Stradivarius. It&#8217;s like the story of Starbucks.  Over the decades, American coffee producers tried to improve profits by quietly and gradually adding more and more of the inferior-tasting and cheaper Robusta beans.  Eventually, they virtually stopped using the superior Arabica beans.  The transition was so gradual that consumers barely noticed.  That is, until the founder of Starbucks tried coffee in Italy and realized what America was missing.  He opened an Italian-style coffee shop, which reintroduced Americans to Arabica.  We all know the rest of the story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Current trends in &#8220;assembly line&#8221; printing are leading to an overall devaluation of printing. When price is the first bargaining tool &#8211; beware.</p>
<p>As an alternative to this mindless factory process, consider HD Design &amp; Printing. <span id="more-827"></span><a href="http://hidefchicago.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/littlePress.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-102" title="littlePress" src="http://hidefchicago.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/littlePress-236x300.jpg" alt="littlePress 236x300 Why traditional offset printing is back in style" width="236" height="300" /></a>For us, the conversation begins with quality control and customer service. Our innovative approach to business and commercial printing is based on a solid understanding of graphic design techniques and offset printing traditions.</p>
<p>HD Design &amp; Printing utilizes direct-to-plate technology. This process eliminates the need for creating film. Our DTP technology also allows us to quickly plate jobs at extremely high resolutions.  But, this is where the digital stops and the analog begins.  We run all our print jobs on a conventional offset press using good, old-fashioned ink. The results are stunning.</p>
