We offer a range services including quality full colour printing, spot colour printing, print finishing, print for trade, design and illustration and website origination. Our print products include:
Need a bespoke printing service? Because we print in house, on our own presses, we are able to accomodate a wide range of bespoke print work. Unusual sizes, stocks and finishing requirements can all be taken care of, with ease. We offer the expertise you need, rather than having to rely on the traditionalprint farmersandhave-iMac-will-traveltypes. We also offer lithographic printing and digital printing, so we will undoubtedly have the right solution for you.
So, what's the difference between Lithographic printing and Digital printing? In short, quite a lot. The lithographic process involves transferring ink from the form rollers of our press, directly onto silicone plates where a rubber blanket transfers the ink onto the paper, and Hey Presto! your job is printed. The digital printing process involves thermal transfer so no plates are needed, rather the image being laid on the sheet by imaging drums. It's all technical stuff that ultimately begs the question… Which one is right for me? In short, lithographic printing is the highest quality print available, however, in this day of fast paced technological advances in printing, digital printing is practically of no discernibly less quality to the untrained eye. Litho is most suitable on larger run lengths, typically of 1000 and above, whilst digital printing is on demand and therefore more suitable fo r the short run market, typically from 1 unit up to 1000.
