Support
A proud printing services history supported by a state-of-the-art facility.
We are your perfect printing partner – combining a printing heritage dating back to 1897 with investment in the most advanced printing technology.
Printing is in our DNA. Capitalise on over one hundred years of printing experience and the very latest technology, to achieve the highest quality print at the most cost effective price.
We offer the full remit of printing processes and services, so whether you need a short digital run, a specialist litho project or a complete web to print solution, we can help. Let us guide and advise you on the most appropriate and cost effective printing methods and materials for your job.
Litho print
We’ve invested in a state-of-the-art, Heidelberg
Speedmaster CX75 LE UV. It guarantees the highest standards of
lithographic printing.
This ultra modern press continually measures colour, ink
consistency and print quality to deliver optimum colour
matching and quality control. It also offers faster ready times,
higher running speeds and production stability, which means
we can now offer litho as a viable and economic option
for short print runs, as well as long.
Digital print
Digital printing uses a digital based image to print directly
onto the printing surface using a laser or inkjet printing
press.
Until more recently, the quality of digital printing
wasn’t as sharp or consistent as litho, but recent
advancements in digital print technology means that
print quality has vastly improved. Where digital has
the advantage over litho, is the use of variable data.
You can make each piece unique by personalising
individual sheets with different images and information.
