Flat Printing or Lithography is a wonderful option if you’re on a budget, as it is less expensive than thermography and faster to print. Lithography is a photographic printing method, where negatives are transferred to a thin metal plate which is wrapped around the cylinder of a sheet-fed press. The ink lies flat on the paper, and it is best shown on smooth paper. Ink color options are basically limitless, for lithography. We most often use 130# white or natural white paper, for flat printing.
