Offset printing: the art of precision
Offset printing is a basic technique in the printing world. It is widely recognized for its ability to produce results of exceptional sharpness and precision. Depending on the project, it requires a high level of expertise. Our know-how enables us to meet the most demanding requirements of creative professionals and the luxury sector.
What is offset printing?
This printing technique is based on the principle of lithography. By means of an inking system, the desired image is transferred from a metal plate onto a rubber cylinder, then applied to the printing substrate, usually paper. We have elevated this traditional method to the level of mastery, offering a high-end printing service.
What are the advantages of offset printing?
One of the main advantages of offset printing is its ability to handle high volumes quickly and accurately. This method is particularly well suited to print jobs requiring faithful color reproduction, gradation and unrivalled sharpness. Four-color printing uses the colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK). It enables full reproduction of the color spectrum, while Pantone® printing offers precise matching of specific colors.
An offset press also ensures even ink distribution over the printing surface, creating sharp details and consistent results. This method is suitable for a variety of substrates, from standard paper to thicker and special materials.
Why use Atelier Bulk for your offset printing?
More than just a printing service, our offset department is at your disposal to test your ideas and concepts against the reality of production. Numerous variables can have a direct impact on the final rendering of your printed object.

Atelier Bulk is the obvious choice when technicality and exacting standards are required in terms of color rendering or precise references. These can range from a Pantone® to a paper proof, to the hue of a leather bag, or the metallic sheen of a watch case.

different offset printing techniques
Four-colour offset printing
Four-color offset printing is a versatile technique that uses four basic colors in ink form: cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
The intensity and mix of each color on the paper will reproduce a wide range of colors and shades.
At Atelier Bulk, our commitment to quality and precision is reflected in our expert use of this method. Are you looking for subtle gradations, vibrant images or faithful color reproduction? Our four-color offset printing service meets all your expectations and requirements.
Pantone® offset printing
Pantone® offset printing is the benchmark in graphic design for precise, customized colors.
It’s a very different technique from four-color process printing. Pantone® printing is a physical mixing of colors: like a recipe, the printer creates the hue by mixing precise volumes of inks.
By using the Pantone® system, we are able to reproduce specific shades with unrivalled accuracy. Our expertise in Pantone® offset printing guarantees a perfect match with your graphic charter and specific corporate colors. We also work with Pantone® fluo, metallic, coated, uncoated and other color ranges.
Offset printing and hot stamping
One of Atelier Bulk’s distinguishing features is our ability to combine hot stamping with offset printing.
Hot stamping adds a luxurious, personalized touch to your projects. The combination of these two techniques requires a high level of expertise for precise registration or overlapping.
Do you want elegant details on packaging, sophisticated book covers or stationery? Combining high-quality offset printing with hot foil stamping creates exceptional visual results.
Offset printing and embossing
Give volume to your offset printing! Atelier Bulk’s combined expertise in a wide range of printing techniques means we can meet all your needs.
This means you can plan a solid color or a faithful reproduction of a work of art, and overprint a logo.
Combine finishing services such as lamination to avoid the embossing being visible on the reverse side. You can also add edge gilding to emphasize the thickness of your printed material.
Anything is possible, and we’re here to find technical solutions to your design ideas.
