The best method depends on your idea, design, material, quantity, and budget. Screen printing is ideal for large runs and durable prints, while digital printing is perfect for smaller quantities and fast turnaround. Our team at InHouse will help you choose the most suitable solution for your needs.
Yes. For new projects, particularly in industrial screen printing where precision and material compatibility are critical, we strongly recommend a pre-production sample before committing to a full run. Sample costs are typically offset against the full order or free.
Minimum order quantities vary by service. For screen printing, the process involves creating a dedicated screen for each colour, so larger runs are more cost-effective - typically we start from 50-100 units, but we could make a few samples. For digital and DTF printing, there is no minimum, making it ideal for prototypes or small batches. Contact us with your project and we'll advise on the best approach
Yes. We understand that industrial clients, particularly in electronics, automotive, and defence-adjacent sectors, often work with proprietary designs and confidential specifications. We are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before any project files or technical details are shared. Please raise this at the start of your enquiry and will arrange it promptly
Production time depends on the method, complexity and order size. Digital and DTF printing can typically be turned around in 2-3 business days. Screen printing requires screen preparation, so standard lead time is 4-10 business days. For large industrial runs or multi-colour jobs, we'll discuss a timeline with you upfront. If you have a deadline, let us know early and we'll do our best to accommodate it.
Yes. We offer precise color matching, including Pantone references when required, to ensure your branding remains consistent across all printed materials. Yet small deviations are to be expected depending on viewing light.
Yes. If your artwork needs adjustments or preparation for print, our prepress team can assist with file optimization, color separation, and layout improvements to ensure the best possible final result.
For screen printing we require vector files- AI (Adobe Illustrator) or EPS are preferred, as they allow clean colour separation at any size without loss of quality. PDF is also accepted provided it contains vector data and not rasterised artwork. For digital printing, high-resolution files of 300 DPI or above in PDF,PSD, or TIFF format work well. If you're unsure whether your file is suitable, send it over and our prepress team will check it before production.
We work with a wide range of substrates including acrylic, PMMA, glass, PET, polycarbonate, aluminum and various rigid and flexible plastics. If you have an unusual or special material, send us a sample before committing to a full run and we will test compatibility, ink adhesion and curing to confirm suitability. We would rather confirm upfront than discover an issue mid-production.
We work with the Pantone Matching System (PMS) for precise colour referencing, which is standard across professional print and design workflows. If your project requires RAL references or custom ink mixing, we can accommodate this. For industrial applications where colour consistency across large runs is critical, we recommend providing Pantone references in your artwork brief rather than relying on screen-based colour values, which can vary significantly between monitors.
Yes. Screen printing is a colour-by-colour process, meaning each colour requires a separate screen and pass through the press. We regularly handle multi-colour jobs and can advisee on the most efficient colour breakdown for your design. If your artwork contains gradients or photographic elements , we can discuss whether screen printing or digital printing is the more suitable method for achieving the result you need.
Print dimensions vary depending on the method and substrate. Contact us with your project specifications and we will confirm whether your required format is achievable and advise on any constraints. For industrial panel printing, we regularly work with both very small precision components and larger format overlays - reach out with your dimensions and we will advise accordingly
To provide an accurate quote we typically need: the printing method required, the substrate or material to be printed on, the print dimensions, the number of colours, the quantity, and any finishing requirements such as adhesive backing or specific curing. A print-ready file or technical drawing is helpful but not essential at the quoting stage. The more detail you can provide, the more accurate and useful our quote will be.
Yes, we deliver finished orders. We work with clients across Bulgaria and ship internationally where required. Delivery terms, timelines and costs are confirmed at the point of order. For time sensitive industrial runs, we can discuss courier options to ensure your components arrive when needed.
Consistency is central to what we do, particularly for industrial clients producing high volumes of identical components. We use automated printing equipment, standardised ink mixing and controlled curing processes to minimise variation between units. Each production run includes quality checks at key stages and machine parameters are stored to repeat orders can be reproduced with the same settings.
Quality control is carried out at multiple stages- artwork and file verification during prepress, screen inspection before printing, in process checks during the run and a final inspection of finished units before dispatch. For industrial screen printing this includes checking registration accuracy, colour consistency, ink adhesion and surface finish. Critical tolerance requirements should be specified upfront so we can calibrate our checks accordingly
Durability depends on the ink system and substrate used. Our industrial screen printing inks are formulated for demanding environments and can offer resistance to temperatures from -30 degrees celsius to +100 degrees celsius, UV exposure, abrasion and chemicals. If your application has specific durability requirements - such as outdoor exposure, frequent handling, or contact with fluids - let us know at the quoting stage and we will recommend the appropriate ink and finish combination.
Yes. We retain screen files, ink formulas and machine settings from previous jobs, which allows us to reproduce orders with consistent results. When placing a repeat order, reference your original order number and we will pull the production record to ensure the reprint matches the original. Lead times for repeat orders are often shorter than first-time production.
If a finished order does not meet the agreed specifications we will work with you promptly to resolve it - whether that means reprinting affected units, issuing a credit or finding another practical solution. We ask that any issues are flagged within a reasonable timeframe upon receipt of the order, with the examples of the problem provided where possible. Our goal is straightforward: the finished product should match what was agreed upon. Yet a pre-agreed error margin should be considered.
