Starting Business

Today's "Yon Art Printing" was primarily formed through the opening of Yon Art Gallery in 1983. "Yon Art" established approximately 10 art galleries in various locations around the nation. It was selected as the president's special project production firm and also chosen as Seoul Olympic's souvenir manufacturer. It's honor was recognized after participating in large national ceremonies.

Development of Unique Printing Technique - "Offset Litho" in 1994,

'Yon Art was the first company in the world to develop an Offset Litho print genre. Now, 'Yon Art is using this Offset Litho printing technique to produce various materials. They also caught a great deal of attention by making high class calendars for large enterprises, who are their VIP customer. The other clients are for the market of Reproductions of Fine Arts on famous French Arches Paper ( 100% cotton uncoated Artists' paper )

There must have been a special opportunity to change a famous piece of art into a product that is known to the general public. There is a limit to the sensation with regular paper because the ink is written in a flat surface. However, the cotton, which is the background of the Off-set printing requires more dyes. The print is pressed after an immense amount of dye is used. With this opportunity, we can work with higher efficiency and lower cost during the process of producing more work of art all over the world. There is a great vision on this kind of art.

Development and research was done on the Offset Litho printing business for 20 years so that certain work of art can be shared with the public. For the first time in the world, a new genre of Off-set printing was introduced after Park Soo Gun's collection of limited work of art was laid out. One year later, supply increased by producing famous calendars together with Samsung Cultural Foundation.

Offset Litho printing ( combined technique of traditional Lithograph Prints and high technical modern offset printing ) is capable of mass production and therefore, it's technology effected the whole market.

The Benefits of Offset Litho and Processes

The public can share the art because many copies can be produced through offset machines. The traditional Lithograph Prints restrict the colors because the artist prints himself and when there are
too many colors, large amount of work may be difficult. But with the Off-set, the advantage is that frequency can be increased because there are hardly any restrictions.

In the process of producing high-quality Offset Litho printing, a selection of the piece of art must first be made. Then, copyright and manuscripts must be attained. Finally, plate makings through modern Offset printing facilities are done through computer work. It is actually a printing process, but the whole process is sincerely operated because it is still a piece of art. While commercial offset prints are composed with 4 process colors' plates, Offset Litho prints are usually composed with 15 to 20 special color plates, but there are no limits of colors until the perfect reproductions come out.

The process begins with Scanner, it's very important how well the manuscripts are input and the strictness starts from this point. then by computer works, colors are individually classified, and at times, a dozen colors are classified at once. Regular printing only requires 4 plates but our Off-set Litho printing uses up to 70 plates, depending on the picture.

Offset Litho printing can produce many different colors compared to regular offset printing. Regular offset printing basically produces red, blue, yellow, and black, but Offset Litho printing produces a variety of special mixed colors by repeating the offset press runs. Therefore, a taste of delicacy can be sensed from the colors. In order to combine the various special colors, the process of making ink colors in each plate is done. Each piece of art is re-born into a sensational and creative color in this process. Off-set Litho printing is known for it's expression of elaborate colors, but the true special features are the technologies enables the rebirth of the work of art. Regular printing uses the simple method of electronically categorizing the 4 colors. Offset Litho printing uses it's machines and produces each plate by showing off the crucial points of each picture. The souls of the artists can
be felt in these cultural products. Along with the Offset Litho printing skills of 'Yon Art Printing'.
