It’s versatile: Litho can printed on any flat surface without regard to texture.
Consistent quality is a result of how the plates transfer their designs onto the rollers used to print. Their lifespan is increased and their quality remains constant.

It is a great choice to print on heavier paper weights, such as 350gsm or 385gsm.
