Digital Printing Services

Digital printing refers to printing directly from a digital source without the need to create printing plates. At Colour Waves, we utilize advanced digital color presses to print high-quality marketing materials in full color at fast turnaround times.  

Our digital printing services include:

Flyer and Leaflet Printing:

We print flyers and leaflets in sizes up to SRA3 on premium matte or gloss paper up to 400 gsm thickness. Whether you need a simple black and white informational handout or a glossy, full-color flyer, we can produce stunning marketing collateral customized to your brand. Our state-of-the-art digital presses ensure accurate color reproduction and crisp, clean details even for complex graphics and photographs.

Brochure and Catalog Printing:

Communicate your products, services and capabilities more effectively through professionally-printed brochures and catalogs. We offer custom folding options including half-folds, tri-folds, gate folds and accordions. You can choose from thick, glossy cover stocks for the pages that need to stand out. For the inner pages requiring just text and simple graphics, we recommend thinner uncoated stocks that help lower costs. Whatever your specifications, we’ll provide professional guidance to create an optimized brochure that maximizes visual impact.

Poster Printing:

Display your messaging prominently with large format posters in sizes ranging from A2 to A0. Choose gloss or matte finishes as well as single or double sided printing. Leverage eye-catching graphics, impactful imagery and minimal text to capture attention in tradeshows, retail spaces, offices and more. We also offer mounting and lamination options for enhanced durability and longevity. 

Fine Art and Photo Printing:

Our specialized large format printers and archival quality papers allow photographers and artists to transform their work into gorgeous fine art prints. Bring your digital paintings, drawings, photography and scanned film to life with large prints meant for framing and display. We offer color correction and retouching services so you can show off your creative visions just as intended.

The benefits of utilizing our digital printing services include:

– Fast turnaround with most jobs completed in 24-48 hours
– Ability to print lower quantities cost effectively, with some jobs possible at quantities under 50
– Fully customizable printing with variable data printing options to personalize messaging 
– High resolution output with accurate color reproduction that meets offset printing quality
– On-demand printing so you only have to order what you need when you need it  

Offset Printing Services

Offset printing refers to transferring ink images from a plate to a rubber blanket and then onto the printing surface in a multi-step process. The quality and consistency achievable with offset printing makes it ideal for producing high volume orders for branding, marketing and packaging solutions.

At Colour Waves, we help you determine when offset printing is the right option depending on your objectives and order quantities. Our Heidelberg offset printing presses incorporate the latest automation technology for achieving offset quality with digital workflow efficiency.

Some of the offset printed products we offer include:

Business Stationery:

Make a professional impression right from your business cards, letterheads, complimentary slips and envelopes. Our offset printing services ensure completely consistent colors, images and text on all your branded stationery from the first piece to the last. We use thick premium stocks featuring special coatings like Aqueous Coating, UV Coating, lamination and foil stamping options to take your business stationery to the next level.

Magazines and Catalogs:

Engage your audiences with compelling and informative publications they’ll want to read cover to cover. Magazines allow you to provide in-depth value through long form articles while catalogs act as self-service product guides for your offerings.

We handle printing and binding of magazines and catalogs up to 100 pages.

Packaging Solutions:

Leave a lasting impression through creative branded packaging for your products and offerings. We offer offset and digital printing for custom boxes, bags, folders, rigid packaging and more.

Books and Manuals:

Whether you’re publishing the next great novel or creating guides for your products and services, we provide end-to-end book printing and binding services. We understand how complex laying out hundreds of book pages in the right order and style can be. That’s why we offer layout and composition services along with printing and binding your books.

The Colour Waves Process

We strive to make printing hassle-free and convenient by overseeing your project closely from start to finish. Our streamlined process ensures high quality branded materials delivered on time and on budget.

Step 1 - Schedule a Consultation

The process kicks off with an introductory call, email or in-person meeting to discuss your printing needs and budget. We’ll also explore objectives around target audiences, distribution plans and success metrics. You can share examples of inspirational designs and styles that appeal to you as well.

Step 2 - Submit Content and Specifications

Next we’ll request overdue content like product/service descriptions, contact info, logos and high resolution photographs/illustrations. Any required layout sizes, paper types, quantities and delivery timelines can also be submitted. For custom design services, we simply require high level messaging, color palette preferences and photographic concepts to inspire creation of tailored layouts.  

Step 3 - Proofs and Revisions

Our design team gets to work creating layouts and pre-press specialists prepare files for printing upon your approval. For non-design orders, we create digital or print proofs to ensure accuracy. For branded design projects, after initial concepts are shared, you can request rounds of revisions until the deliverables match your vision completely. 

Step 4 - Printing and Production

With final approvals in place, printing commences on our specialized equipment best suited for your order specifications and quantities. Imposition and color correction help ensure flawless results. For finishing, options like lamination, bindery, die-cutting, mounting and installation are handled by our experienced production team.

Step 5 - Delivery and Installation

The final printed materials are carefully packaged to prevent damage and delivered via courier or pickup. For large format prints, signage and displays, our team can also handle installation at your designated locations within Dubai. Throughout the process and after delivery, feel free to reach out with any other printing needs emerging. We’re always ready to help!
