Offset Printing Process

STEP 1 Making the Negative 
Artwork, films or files from the customer are used to produce films for each color (C.M.Y.K.).

STEP 2 Making the Printing Plate 
Based on the films, one printing plate for each color (C.M.Y.K.) is produced for the design.

STEP 3 Printing 
* One color at a time is printed with corresponding design.

* Dried in oven before printing another color.

STEP 4 Cutting 
* Metal board is cut in rows.

* Individual designs cut in custom outline.

STEP 5 Attachment 
Attachment is glued on to the back of each piece.

STEP 6 Epoxy Coating 
Clear epoxy is applied to the surface to protect the enamel from color fading and cracking. We strongly recommend that printed articles be ordered with epoxy protection, in order to improve the lifetime and quality of the article.

STEP 7 Inspection & Packing 
All items are strictly inspected before delivery. Customer’s satisfaction is guaranteed!

* Normally, pin manufacturers supply Offset Printing with a resolution in the range of 125 to 175 lines depending on the complexity of the design. However, our advanced equipment starts at 175 lines and can provide up to 250 lines resolution. So, if you need a higher resolution than 175 lines, please let us know and, for a small surcharge, we will provide you with much a clearer and brighter offset pin compared with our competitors’ product ! Right now, Scorpion is the only factory that can print offset pins with 250 lines resolution!

* Artwork provided by the customer must be in perfect condition.

* It is necessary to indicate the color required for the surrounding rim. Standard option: metal color and white.

* The colors are based on actual colors of the original artwork or files in C. M. Y. K. color format and a minimum resolution of 400dpi.
