For top quality Before you start, check you have thought of everything. - Stick to essentials - logo, name, address, phone number or e-meil. Remember you can work on both sides. - Try to provide us with a good quality document, preferable black and white. - Do not send us material by fax, due to the poor definition. Send us a bromide or digital data (PC or Macintosh floppy, Zip disk, Jazz disk, or CD-Rom, in Quark Xpress, Illustrator or Photoshop format), with a laser print-out for confirmation. You can also send us your document by e-mail : ballonpub@ballonpub.com - Work on large enough documents. Enlarging accentuates defects.

Silkscreen printed balloon - Ballon printed using flexographic technique To compare the two print qualities you have to inflate the ballon...

How do we print ? To obtain a really sharp picture, we use a silk screen printing technique which surpasses anything currently available on the market. To meet our corporate customers' demands for increasingly high quality, we have given up conventional printing due to its relatively poor definition.

Printing direction This depends entirely on how you plan to use the balloons. Do you want them to fly ? Or do you plan to hang them up ? This will decide the printing direction and requires prior thought.

Ballon filled with helium or presented on a plastic stick :  downright printing

Suspended :  upright printing

Line printing on one or two sides or photographic This enables us to reproduce even tiny details, in black or colour. The two sides may be identical or different.

All-around printed This process permits silk-screen printed all-around the ballon, on five surfaces : the four sides of the balloon and its top. We can print using coloured ink, starting from line drawings or photographs.

Example of a balloon with all-around  printed diameter 20". Scope for five different desings.

Example of a balloon with all-around  printed diameter 40". Scope for all-around printed with a single design.

Printing with several colours This silk-screen process uses several colours (2, 3 or 4), making a total of four colours on the two sides. Two methods are available :

Printing of a two-colour line design, with a separation of at least 1/2".

Printing of a design with  three colours side by side.

The use of four colours.
