💀 Frightfully Good Printing 💀

Our October calendar page takes a walk on the dark side!

Printed on 111 # TOUCHÉ Soft Touch Black Cover, this piece has a smooth, velvety feel that’s just as striking as its appearance.

Using UV White Ink + CMYK, we brought a vividly colored skull to life against the deep black stock. The white ink creates a foundation that allows the colors to pop where traditional printing would fall short.

It's a perfect example of how the right combination of paper, ink, and creativity can turn a simple printed piece into something unforgettable.

Bold ideas deserve bold printing.

✨🐦 September Shimmers 🐦✨

Our September calendar page features a striking starling, digitally printed on our Heidelberg Versafire on 105 lb. Stardream Opal Cover.

Known for their iridescent feathers, starlings can appear to shift in color as the light changes. The subtle pearlescent shimmer of Stardream Opal complements that effect beautifully, giving the image an added sense of depth and movement.

It’s a great example of how the right paper can become part of the design—not just something it’s printed on.

Thoughtful material and production choices like these are what help turn a printed piece into something memorable.

🍑 Print That Smells as Good as It Looks 🍑

August’s calendar page brings the color—and scent—of fresh summer peaches to print.

The vibrant imagery was produced on 100 # Finesse Gloss Cover using 4-color process inks and an overall gloss aqueous coating. A spot RUB’N SMELL varnish adds the finishing touch, releasing a fresh peach aroma when activated.

By engaging more than one sense, specialty coatings create an experience that draws people in and helps printed materials stay memorable.

Looking for a creative way to make your packaging, direct mail or marketing materials stand out? Let show you what’s possible in print.

The Ninja Love Bus rolled into the Racine County Fair!

James W. Smith Printing partnered with The Lonely Ninjas to design and produce this one-of-a-kind selfie prop promoting the band’s new single, “Gettin Hit with Love.”

The oversized display was printed with durable UV inks on 1-inch lightweight Falconboard and precision-cut into two horizontal sections for easier shipping, handling and setup. It quickly became a fan favorite during the band’s August 2 performance at the Racine County Fair.

From creative concept and design to large-format printing and custom finishing, TeamSmith can bring your next promotional idea to life.
