Conventional lithographic printing will never be replaced entirely by digital printing. Lithographic printing is still the most cost-effective printing method for longer print runs.

In certain areas lithographic printing is the preferred choice, particularly where quality or finishing is of paramount importance.

Areas where lithographic printing is most appropriate include

•NCR & Business Forms
•Business Stationery - Printed Letterheads
•Business Cards
•Brochures and Catalogues
•Folders
•Printed Envelopes
•Wedding Stationery
•Labels

The Pantone colour-matching system is a universal colour standard used to specify individual colours, to ensure continuity when printing colour.

Pantone colours can be made using the 4-colour process.

Computer technology has changed dramatically over the past few years and we have become used to printing from them almost instantaneously.

In lithographic printing, please remember that each job is unique and is a manufactured product requiring several steps with various stages of ordering, typesetting and design, proofing, film output, plate making, printing, drying, trimming, packaging and delivery.

We pride ourselves in completing each stage efficiently and as quickly as possible without failing to understand client needs.

Digital printing is ideal for short run colour printing, where conventional lithographic printing would not be cost effective. Digital printing also allows for variable data to be applied to a project so that any document can be personalised for each recipient. This is ideal therefore for direct mail, conference material, training guides and certificates.

Yes we do offer printed cards and brochures deliverd to you. Prices will depend on the quantity of each order. We do both small and large orders.

We can't really go into detail about the differences between these two color modes in the space we have here, but I will give you a few basics.

Red, Green, and Blue are the "additive colors". When you combine red, green and blue light, you get white light. Cyan, Magenta and Yellow inks are "subtractive colors". If you print cyan, magenta and yellow inks on paper, they should absorb all the light shown on them. Your eye receives no reflected light from the paper, and perceives black... in theory.

In practice, printing inks contain impurities that prevent them from absorbing light perfectly. They do a pretty good job with light colors, but when you add them all together, they produce a murky brown rather than black. In order to get decent dark colors, black ink is also added (that's the K in CMYK).

An image that is in RGB mode is optimized for display on a computer monitor. In order to reproduce that very same image using ink on paper, it must be converted to the "CMYK" color mode."

Print management is a service we offer that allows print bulk items and deliver them in on demand. This has three key benefits, firstly there is a cost saving by printing in bulk, a large proportion of print costs are in setup, plate making and make ready time. Second is storage, you don't have to worry about storing items or stock control of the items, we monitor this and ensure you never run out. Thirdly is consistency, by printing in bulk and using the same logged settings we can virtually guarantee consistency in print quality.
