Why do you have a digital price & a Litho price for your letterheads?

Digital printing is a great way of producing high quality, short run stationery. It is 100% compatible with Inkjet printers, however, some Laserjet printers are known to remove the pre-printing image and can damage your machine. Litho or Lithographic printing ensures that this does not happen. Litho printing uses no heat and is applied to the sheet using pressurised rollers, once the ink is dry it is completely safe to use through any printer..
