“. . . most press operators don’t know about fitting drainage to contours.”
There is a special craft to producing maps, printing maps,and folding maps, different from any other sheetfed work, and at Williams & Heintz we are masters of this craft – we are a map printing specialist.
Williams & Heintz has been in the business of making and manufacturing maps for entrepreneurs, government agencies and map publishers since 1921. We have evolved from engraving topographic maps on copper plates, to production and printing of quality maps with an assortment of graphics and GIS software.
It requires specialized equipment to prep, print and fold multi-color, oversized sheets.We have that equipment. But it takes a lot more, too.
For us, registration marks and color bars are just the beginning. Today’s complex cartography, with multiple colors, overlays, and line traps require a skilled artisan with a good eye: A map printing specialist to correctly balance the colors and adjust registration, to make the finished product as close to perfect as possible.
The truth is, even the best press operator in a general commercial print house doesn’t know about fitting drainage to contours. Most map publishers have either settled for less, or gone to a lot of trouble to train their printers.
