Recently, we were given a special invitation job for a young mans Bar Mitzvah. The comic explains to all of his peers that receive the invitation, how the process goes along. This type of invitation was something new for us, and our designer had never seen the idea in print before.
Bazooka Joe Young and Archie comics were old-time favorites for previous generations. The comic is loosely based on this idea and it worked pretty well. The comic ends by asking the receiver to complete the comic by filling in their acceptance to the Bar Mitzvah.
Do not believe that this idea is only good for a Bar or Bot Mitzvah because it can be used in anything. The comic book invitation was a short-run job printed on newsprint and completed in 1 day. The entire staff got a kick out of reading the comic, and so we decided to blog the job in hopes of sharing the idea with others.
Here are some photos of the completed job:
The Poster Printers are capable of doing high quality jobs within a short turn around time. This is just one of the many interesting and creative jobs that we have had the privileged to print.
Once upon a time, there lived a King and Queen named Ebook and Nook. They ruled all the land and believed in a paperless world. Ebook and Nook slowly took over lands beyond their kingdom and it looked as if paper would be forever extinct. It began with emails, text messages and AIM. Our society slowly turned away from paper and pen, in exchange for WiFi and high-speed. Now if this were true, The Printing Factory would be in a bit of trouble. There has always been the impending doom of a paperless world. Banks are now offering online billing and asking customers to go green and paperless. This is not a bad idea, but we cannot forget the existence of eco-friendly and recycled paper. All of our paper is made from 10% post consumer waste, which is a green alternative for printing materials. There is also a type of soy-based ink that is offered for Earth conscious clients.
The danger of a paperless world has not reached burdened us yet, and there is doubt in that ever being true. As people become dependent on something it does become increasingly difficult to part ways. Ancient civilizations took hundreds of years before coming up with a way to write down their history. Now the average person sends about 2,000 text messages a month.
Printers need assistance and Adobe came up with Creative Suite to make their lives a bit easier.
Creative Suite 5 is the recent addition to the Adobe editing family:
Content-aware fill is allows the user to select an area of a file to be removed and it is automatically filled in and blended.
Spot Healing Brush is perfect for photo retouching and it does speed up the time that editors spend on proofing files for print. (
The Printing Factory MAC machines as well as PC's are all equipped with Adobe products). Our processing system condenses the amount of time clients make mistakes with artwork by reviewing the files before print. This not only saves us and the client's precious time, but also saves money on wasted paper.
InDesign another tool used by printers is also much smoother in viewing the image. Instead of having to span the entire file a few clicks can bring the user back to the original view. Layers and elements can now be grouped together which also saves time for the user and the client. Implementing new text and graphics into a file is also much smoother and simpler. The grid style design is easy to use and flexible compared to previous versions.

Offset Printing is the most common printing technique. Even the newspapers you read are printed using the offset printing method, because offset printing can efficiently answer commercial printing and massive high volume quantities. The motto of offset printing is “the more you print, the less you pay!”
How does it work? In offset printing, the desired inked image is transferred, (hence “offset”) from a plate, onto a rubber blanket, and eventually to the printing surface. This process delivers a high image quality, and allows producing clean consistent prints.
Offset printing can provide your business a cost efficient solution to mass printing. When choosing offset printing, you will enjoy quick turnaround time and cheap production because offset printing was and still is the cheapest method to create massive quantities, and achieve high quality standards.
