More than ink on paper

Our printing journey began over 200 years ago, and it’s served as a blueprint for our development. Today, we offer both a traditional litho service and modern digital print technology to adapt to your project needs and deadline. 

Our printing service reaches a wide range of markets, from high-stakes exam boards to book publishers. Because of this, all our operations take place in a highly secure and accurate environment.

This secure practice became a part of our business. By utilising our strengths, we seamlessly deliver the same level of quality and accuracy to the commercial print and publishing sectors.

So whether you need a book or an exam paper, your print job will be handled with the same level of care and attention at every touchpoint.

Know the process

Whether you need digital or litho printing, our team of experts will guide you to choose the best process, paper, and ink to deliver the best results for your print project. Whichever process you choose, we have a commitment to high-quality printing while maintaining sustainable practices.

From plate to paper

Lithographic printing (litho) is the traditional process of using metal plates, ink, and paper to produce high-quality printed products. Litho printing is a water-based process and our inks are derived from vegetable oils.

Our litho printing service utilises the latest Heidelberg print technologies and advanced colour management, offering exceptionally high-quality prints with vibrant colours and precise details.

For high volumes of printed materials, such as catalogues and books, litho printing leads the way as the fastest and most cost-effective method per unit.

Where print is made personal

Unlike litho printing, digital printing doesn’t use printing plates. The image is transferred directly onto the paper using either ink or toner, eliminating the need for set-up costs.

With our suite of HP Indigo digital presses, which print up to B2 sheet size, you can benefit from the speed and flexibility of digital printing without compromising on size or quality. We also run an Inkjet web, a high-speed digital printing method that produces large volumes of printed materials from one continuous roll of paper.

The power of digital perfectly delivers print-on-demand solutions, time-critical products, variable-data print and personalisation. It makes digital the perfect choice for smaller runs of brochures, flyers and business cards.
