What keeps your print projects looking razor-sharp right off the press? It’s all about finding the perfect balance. 🧪💧

Today in Print 101, we’re exploring Solvents. While pigments provide the stunning color, solvents and water act as the liquid binder that physically transfers those colors onto the paper stock.

By carefully managing these custom liquid formulas, we can control how fast the ink dries, how smoothly it flows, and how efficiently a job runs. The result? Faster turnarounds, crisp details, and consistent quality from the first sheet to the last.

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. 🇺🇸

We are jumping right back into our Print 101 series to talk about the backbone of commercial ink: Pigments.

In the print world, there’s a massive difference between a liquid dye and a solid pigment. Because pigments are insoluble color particles, they don't break down easily when exposed to air or sunlight. By mixing these high-quality organic and inorganic colorants with specialized solvents right before printing, we ensure your brochures, packaging, and corporate materials stay vibrant and fade-resistant for the long haul.

When you print with Cedar Graphics, you aren't just getting beautiful color today, you're getting durability that protects your brand assets for tomorrow.

PRINT 101: Does UV Ink Need a Top Coat?

With conventional inks, aqueous coatings are often added to help protect printed pieces from scratching and marking. UV inks, however, are naturally more resistant and usually don’t require an additional coating unless a specific finish is desired.

Gloss, matte, durability, and ink types all play a role in print production. Understanding those differences can help you get the best result for your project.

Print 101 continues! Today's topic: UV inks 🖨️

One of the things that sets UV ink printing apart is substrate flexibility. Our offset presses can handle UV inks on a wide range of surfaces, from standard paper stocks all the way to synthetic materials like PVC, Vinyl, Polystyrene, and even Foil.

That means more creative options for your next project. Have something a little out of the ordinary in mind? We'd love to help make it happen.
