Digital Printing Capabilities

Abbott Action was the first company in North America to embrace the capabilities of the 1890 Jetmaster. This single-pass printer provides flexibility when approaching both large and small orders. In fact, its capabilities are so extensive that our team named it, “The Beast From The East”. 

1. Flexible color selections and sizing requirements

“How many colors can I get?” has become a printing question of the past. Our UV inks can produce 95% of the Pantone library as well as a variety of simulated metallics. The expanded ink set includes cyan, violet, magenta, orange, yellow, and black. And even better–cost is not bound to the number of colors chosen but by the amount of ink used. 

To get your project as accurate as possible, our expert staff paired with our graphic reproduction technology replicates the design so it’s optimized for print. Pairing both human ingenuity and technological precision provides consistency and accuracy to every project. And size rarely matters. Our capabilities range is nearly boundless. We’re able to print up to 74 inches by 120 inches making us the leader in size range in the North East 

2. Quality Accuracy 

Digital printing is a stable and reliable method no matter how large your quantities get up to.  Our processes ensure the same print repeatability from the 1st and 30,000th print. The Barberan is G7 certified on both coated and uncoated substrates as well as our Epson P9000. Having both proofing solutions provides speed, flexibility, and cost-saving to our clients. 

3. Quicker time to market 

Digital printing has almost completely replaced lithography. The litho printing process involves sending a file out of the facility to obtain a physical proof that is then sent back for signature approval. This process can delay production by 7-10 days

Having in-house graphics and prepress allows us to manage and expedite file preparation. Utilizing a customized digital workflow, from the receipt of your file,  auto preflight, PDF and physical proofing process allows us to expedite your project in 2-3 days.

4. Cost savings

Traditional printing processes require the customer to purchase unique printing plates for each project. Using the digital printing method for most projects saves the customer money and time in a few different ways: 

• One-and-done jobs 

Digital printing is the most efficient method in time and money for one-and-done jobs. The method is the most cost-effective because the customer avoids the need to purchase a printing plate. The digital printer eliminates costly printing by simply taking a file in a digital form. 

• Multiple designs per order 

Without incurring any more cost, you’re able to send multiple designs to be printed within the same order. This saves money on costly one-time purchases and also allows companies to customize products and regionalize displays at an affordable price point.
