At Archetype Print we do our best to keep up with the latest in technology. A visit to our facilities reveals just how well equipped we are to tackle any printing job, regardless of how big or small it may be. Below is a breakdown of how we can help your business, quickly and effortlessly.
Colour Prints & Booklets: Create impressive full-bleed brochures as well as high quality booklets (folded and stitched) with our state-of-the-art commercial quality 4-colour process laser printer. Whether you need a handful of copies for a meeting or hundreds of promotional pieces to enhance your marketing efforts, we offer the flexibility your business demands.
6-Colour Posters - Digital Large Format Printing: Our wide-format colour inkjet printer allows us to produce gorgeous prints. We can print on a wide variety of surfaces including specialty coated canvas, vinyl, film, and photographic paper. This system allows your prints to retain the brilliance and gloss of liquid ink without the costly and time-demanding need for 4-colour separation.
Large Format Digital Printing - B&W: Built exclusively for architects, engineers and designers, our large format printing solution allows you to produce architectural renderings, site plans, proposals and other presentations. Digital prints can be created from: PDF files, plot files, AutoCAD files, cut and paste originals, vellums or originals with whiteout, existing diazo prints, sepias, and mylars. Plots can be printed on bond, vellum or mylar.
Large Format Digital Scanning - B&W and Colour: Our high resolution, high speed scanner provides enhanced monochrome imaging and top notch color quality from a single unit. Image quality is achieved through true 600 x 600 dpi optical resolution from three independent imaging cameras and a touch screen user interface that provides ease of use and comprehensive system status information. Moreover, our Color Scanner is powerful, with scan speeds from 3.2 ips to 9.6 ips in monochrome (dependent on dpi) and 1.4 to 3.4 ips in color. The image capture area is up to 36 in. (914 mm) wide. Scans can be saved as tiff, jpeg, pdf, bmp, cals, png, tga.
High-Speed Digital Copies & Booklet Making: Ten prints? Ten thousand? No worries. You won’t find a more cost-effective solution when looking to print on 8.5”x11”, 8.5”x14”, and 11”x17” paper. Our spiral or cerlox binding provides an additional wow factor.
Laminating: Protect your presentations with our professional lamination technique.
Dry Mounting: Enhance presentation materials and posters with foam core mounting. Our Heat mounting process produces a durable board without the bubbling and lifting associated with other mounting systems.
Graphic Design: Creating professional and attractive marketing pieces isn’t just about printing. It’s also about conceptualizing and designing them. We offer a start-to-finish solution that brings graphic design and printing under one roof. It’s the ultimate one-stop solution to enhancing the image of your business.
Archetype has been handling all our printing needs here at the ICBC Research & Training Centre for the past 6 years. The bulk of our printing is centered on the training manuals we use in our autobody repair upgrade training courses. No matter what number of manuals we required, or the timeline they were needed for, they have always been able to come up with a solution to fit our unique needs. They have also been very accommodating with suggestions for product design and graphic layout. Overall our experience with Archetype has been nothing but positive and professional in every aspect of our business dealings, and I would highly recommend their printing and design services to anyone.
