with reticulation printing. An on press tactile effect used to enhance your printed pieces to separate you from the crowd.
Reticulation effect varnish is a specially formulated UV curable lithographic over-print varnish, used in conjunction with a compatible gloss UV coating on press.
 
                            The end result is a raised, textured finish that creates dimensionality and texture to your image or message. This tangible depth enhances the sensory experience and can even impress a sense of movement for the viewer.
Engage and stimulate your customer by way of sight and touch with the use of reticulation on your next print project.

				FSC® Certification: Premier is an FSC®-Certified company. FSC® Chain-of-Custody certification is a voluntary certification system available to supply chain companies (like us) who want to demonstrate their commitment to responsible forest management by having their company’s planning, practices and products independently evaluated against FSC® Chain-of-Custody standards. FSC® Chain-of-Custody certification allows companies to label their FSC® products, which in turn enables consumers to identify and choose products that support responsible forest management. For our clients this means that they can confidently select and print on environmentally-sound paper substrates that are traced from origin to consumer.
					
				LED-UV Inks: Premier is one of few printers in North America that uses LED-UV press technology. We were the first printer in North America to convert two long-perfector presses from conventional inks to LED-cured UV inks. For our clients this means we are able to more quickly bind press sheets and offer best-in-class print quality. We remain a leading member of the International LED-UV Association.
					
				G7® Master Printer: The G7® standard yields a visual match between different imaging systems and promotes a visually identical image across a range of G7®-calibrated printing devices. For our clients this means that any of our proofing, conventional offset, LED-UV offset or digitally-printed products will be color-accurate, repeatable and consistent from job to job. This also means that we can take in work from other G7® facilities and match colour with ease.
					
				LEAN Manufacturer: Premier is proud to be a LEAN manufacturing facility. We strive to continuously ‘grow people’ and ‘serve the customer.’ We actively seek out ways to eliminate the wastes of transportation, inventory, motion, unused human resources, waiting, over-processing, over-production and defects. For our clients this means we can provide consistent quality, exceptional value and responsive turn times on work supplied to us. We maintain an on-time delivery rate of over 97% on all work we receive! We encourage clients to visit our print operations to see LEAN in action for themselves!
Paper, Process and Plant Stewardship: Though we work hard as a LEAN organization to reduce paper waste, we can never eliminate it all! We gather all off-cuts, trimmings and other paper waste, compact it and send it out for recycling. By recycling hundreds of tons of paper each year, we prevent unnecessary waste in our land-fills and help sustain the industries that work to convert recycled paper into new sheets and other products. Paper is one of the most renewable resources on earth (www.twosidesna.org)! We also mitigate most paper waste through a tightly-tuned manufacturing workflow, digital print-on-demand print, chemical-free plate processing, low energy LED-UV, and VOC-free vegetable-based inks. Premier uses high-efficiency T8 lighting within the facility, and LED lighting for all external lamps.
