What is color? Merely a reflection of light...how do we control it? We have 2 popular ink sets in offset printing, four color process and the Pantone set, each acting differently.
High quality offset printers control and monitor their internal color systems to ensure accurate results. Accurate results to what? Here lies the problem...

PJs for PEACE

RICO SUAVE!
More Puerto Ricans live in New York City than in any other city in the world (about 800,000), so Sunday's annual Puerto Rican Day Parade is sure to be a popular and festive event -- a couple of million people usually line the parade route along Fifth Avenue from 44th to 86th street. Floats, marchers and musicians start the fun at 11 a.m. and guitar-playing ex-Yankee Bernie Williams, Daddy Yankee and José Feliciano are among the stars on parade.
SMOKE AWAY
It's the pits. Barbecue pits, that is, when Madison Square Park (Madison Avenue between 23rd and 26th streets) turns into Pitmaster Park for the annual Snapple Big Apple Barbecue Block Party. Fifteen of the country's hottest barbecue bosses -- from rib-tickling hot spots like Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina and even New York City -- turn the park into a sizzling spot where tasty dishes of ribs, pulled pork, smoked sausage and more go for $8 a plate. Plus there's blues, soul, country and any other kind of live music that goes with barbecue. The pits are cookin' tomorrow and Sunday from 11 a.m to 7 p.m. For further details, go to bigapplebbq.org

Here we are, ahhhh the weekend. This is our first installment of the Gotham Printing weekend happenings...nothing planned? What if you could travel to Montauk, Long Island for a poolside fiesta on Solé East's expansive Montauk lawn, on one of two complementary refreshment stocked buses???
Welcome to the Gotham Printing blog. In the next few weeks we’ll be launching our site: www.gothamprinting.com. Our effort was in not just creating another online print site but instilling our core practices which set us apart. In our blog each week, we'll incorporate our 4 core practices into an informative, yet funny delivery of blog speak.
Our 4 core practices:
Charitable – We offer the choice, with each purchase you make, for Gotham Printing to donate part of the proceeds to a charity of your choice. We like to say “Do a little good, each time you do a little business.”
High Quality/ Low Cost - Next, we deliver the highest quality printing at the lowest cost. We can’t help ourselves. We’ve managed to combine the best of both worlds. Old school craftsmanship, and pride in what we do, with the most modern equipment, quality control, and automation. We still have people with years of experience checking your job at every stage, to insure the best 4 color printing you can get.
East Coast - Third, we borrow a line from Real Estate. Location, location, location. Now don’t get me wrong, I would love to live in Montana, but I don’t want to order my printing from there. Gotham Printing is a Northeast, Greater New York area printer. We are on the Hudson River in Peekskill, New York. That means faster delivery and lower shipping costs to the region.
Green - Fourth, we are eco-friendly. We don’t just talk the talk. We all benefit from the following practices:
· The paper we use to produce all of our products is recycled/ and or FSC® certified and ordered in bulk to reduce deliveries.
· Our inks are vegetable oil based low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
· The processes we use to develop and clean our machinery and plates are water soluble and chemical free.
· We recycle 100% of our scrap paper, which reduces our carbon emissions, but also saves natural resources used in milling virgin paper. We save millions of gallons of water and kilowatts of electricity in the process.
All of these reasons are why we like to think that Gotham Printing is:
“The smartest way to print online”
