Q: What is the difference between Photo Business Cards by photographic process and Photo Business Cards by full color offset process?

A: Photographic cards are of real photographic paper with a glossy, shiny finish and it doesn't need varnishing coat. Offset printed cards use regular paper with varnishing coat. Also, offset cards are printed in ink which could be smeared by water. Real photo cards do not use ink, therefore are waterproof and cannot be smeared by water.

Q: I am a graphic artist. Would you explain what is differences between offset 4 colors prints and photographic processed prints?

A: Offset printing use CMYK color space and specify color inks using Pantone color system.
    However, photographic process does not use ink and it works in RGB color space.  
    This is why we can not match Pantone colors on photographic process.  
    If your colors are critical to your job,  you would better use offset process. (Click here) 
    Another important difference is in the way of printing.   
    Offset printing is contact printing but photographic printing use film projection.  
    Whatever resolution its negative should be, projection printing results in less resolution than its negative.
