Color Printing OEM: A Professional, Eco-Friendly Printing Solution
Color printing OEM is a business model that provides clients with customized color printing services, primarily utilizing water-based inkjet printers. These printers are known for their eco-friendly, non-toxic properties, making them safe for living environments. They produce rich, multi-layered translucent colors with excellent ink diffusion, resulting in near-photographic quality without visible halftone dots. As a result, this printing method is increasingly recognized and favored by clients.
Color printing OEM providers offer professional design and technical capabilities, enabling them to handle layout, design, and printing according to each client’s specific needs. Equipped with advanced printing equipment and technology, they can deliver high-quality printed materials with fast and reliable turnaround times. This allows clients to focus on their core business while safeguarding their intellectual property and commercial confidentiality.
The applications of color printing OEM are extensive, covering posters, business cards, brochures, newspapers, magazines, packaging boxes, and more. OEM vendors typically offer a variety of printing methods and material options—such as glossy paper, matte paper, single sheets, and folded formats—to accommodate different budgets and requirements. Clients can choose from various design styles and printing effects, including full-color, monochrome, and multi-color printing, as well as special finishes like embossing, foil stamping (gold or silver), and textured effects to enhance visual appeal and richness.
In summary, color printing OEM provides clients with a convenient, efficient, and high-quality printing service that enables them to concentrate on their core operations. As technology evolves and market demand grows, it’s important for buyers to note that water-based inkjet printing—due to its translucent nature—cannot achieve the same level of saturation as color laser printers or oil-based printing systems.

Unexpected Durability
During the initial planning meetings for the opening of a tourism-themed factory store, the buyer proposed specific design criteria and usage requirements. After joint discussions and visual drafts, it was discovered that the E-style binder caused irregular alignment of the inner pages, potentially disrupting the visual presentation. To resolve this, a strip of black leather was added to decorate and stabilize the spine.
Two years later, the buyer decided to remake the menu book—this time opting for functional fabric. As of 2023, the new version remains in regular use without issue.
The term “unexpected durability” refers to the fact that the original design was only intended to last for six months before replacement. Yet, it ended up being used for two full years. And now, the project is being revived once again—two years later.

Bar Binding: A Practical and Quick Option
Bar binding is one of the most practical and efficient choices for loose-leaf binding. It’s the simplest method, requiring no technical expertise. For example, using 180 lb ivory paper, a bar binder can typically hold around 1 to 10 sheets. With 70 lb standard copy paper (such as those found in convenience stores), it can accommodate approximately 1 to 40 sheets.

Inner pages：
Double-thickness 180 lb ivory paper
The 180 lb double-coated paper inserts are finished with a matte P-film lamination. The water-based ink used for printing is non-toxic and odorless, compliant with food safety and environmental standards. Compared to oil-based inks, it delivers more vibrant colors.
To support a healthier living and working environment, we recommend choosing water-based ink for full-color printing. This version features double-thickness 180 lb inserts, printed with water-based ink and bound using a black bar binder.

U-style binder box with E-style mimic design, equipped with double-thickness 180 lb ivory paper inserts
Since the E-style binder exposes the side-bound inner pages, this binding method may result in irregular alignment or visual inconsistencies. As shown in Figure 1, a decorative spine element can be added to conceal and refine the appearance. Alternatively, a U-style binder mimicking the E-style format may be used to achieve a similar aesthetic with improved structural consistency.

Protective lamination finishes for color prints
Diamond lamination
Originating from surface lamination technology, the diamond protective film is ten times thicker than standard matte P-film. Its textured surface was specifically developed to prevent slipping, resist abrasion, block UV rays, and repel water.
When applied to full-color printed binder cases, it significantly enhances durability. The non-reflective finish and micro-textured surface also add depth and vibrancy to the printed visuals, making the imagery appear more dimensional and vivid.
Premium-grade lamination
As one of the most premium lamination types, this finish transforms base colors with striking effects: black becomes obsidian, gray turns silver, white shifts to pearl, and yellow takes on a golden hue.
Glossy P-film lamination is commonly used in standard printing.
This image shows the commonly used glossy P-film lamination in standard printing. For matte P-film lamination, please refer to the image above, item number iPrint6.
Both glossy and matte P-film laminations are thin layers, suitable for inner page finishing. If budget is a concern, they are acceptable choices. However, if budget allows, we recommend using diamond lamination for the binder cover, and glossy or matte P-film for the inner pages.
客房菜單
Our custom menus are one-of-a-kind and can be tailored to the buyer’s preferences. For room service menus, we intentionally make them thick and sturdy to prevent them from being taken away, but we can also make them small and thin based on the buyer’s needs. The materials used for the inside and outside of the menu can be mixed and matched to provide a wide range of options. We recommend using a four-hole metal clip for quick and easy replacement of the pages during events.
We support a variety of fine art papers for the inner pages.
The inner pages of this design utilize our proprietary technology, which includes cardboard pages, and is one of our recommended options. The entire series features pages that can be easily added, removed, or replaced, and we support the purchase of various types of fine art paper, waterproof paper, cardboard pages, and magazine paper for the inner pages. If you prefer not to use PVC materials, the aforementioned materials can be purchased separately for use as inner pages. However, only our shop’s products feature inner pages that are easy to flip, durable, without rebounding, and without cracking or splitting along the spine. For estimated production time and costs, please feel free to inquire.
Cardboard inner pages
This image shows a close-up comparison of the 1mm thick side-sealed edge of a cardboard inner page. The area circled in red is where the inner page is easily touched, so it has been folded and sealed to prevent the pages from splitting, effectively extending the lifespan of the inner pages. Side-sealed cardboard inner pages are one of the original and recommended options for inner pages offered by our store.
General Sika paper inner page
This image shows a close-up comparison of the side edge of a commonly used 220-pound thickness cultural paper. The red circle indicates the area where the edge is most likely to be touched and also the easiest to fork. Therefore, our shop has applied a technique to round the edges slightly to reduce the frequency of forking, but it will eventually still fork.
