TIP® ~ TimeCal® Imaging Process       

   
         
   

TIP® is our trade-marked state-of-the-art digital imaging and full-color printing process with the following key features:

  • Produces cost effective sharp multi/full-color, continuous-tone photographic quality images. 

  • Does not require expensive color separations.

  • Accommodates various run sizes efficiently.

  • Reduces setup and production leadtime.

  • Offers unmatched graphic design and layout flexibility.

Advertising images with multiple colors, gradients and half-tones are usually beyond the reach of silkscreen and pad-printing processes traditionally used in the promotional product industry.  Until the development of digital imaging processes such as TIP®, it was difficult and expensive to decorate promotional products with full-color images.  The only viable processes to create high quality full-color graphics were photography and offset printing.  Photographic process is suitable only for very small runs, with images subject to color fading over time.  Offset printing offers good image quality; however, it requires expensive color separations and high run minimums.

Using advanced software and hardware technologies, TIP® delivers sharp, continuous-tone, multi/full-color images at a fraction of the cost associated with offset printing, and with a short leadtime.  There is no color separation charge, and very low quantity minimum-runs can be accommodated.  Furthermore, because images can be electronically manipulated, TIP® offers unparalleled flexibility in graphics customization, from artwork editing and enhancement to typographic and layout design. 

It has been well proven that promotional products decorated with multi/full-color imprint have a greater usage impact, thus advertising effectiveness. You can take advantage of the superior graphics quality of TIP®  with many of our promotional products.  Browse through our product line and you will discover that our products decorated with multi/full-color TIP® imprint are very competitively priced.  At times, they are even less expensive than similar items, with only a one-color silkscreen imprint, offered by our competitors.
