Digital

Digital printing replaces metal plates and oil-based litho inks with laser-written electrostatically charged drums. Our digital presses use food safe inks.

The image can change with every revolution of the printing units, which means we can offer cost effective solutions for small runs of collated books and cards which would be too expensive to print litho. Our state-of-the-art RICOH PRO C7500 digital press prints in mono or CMYK colour.

You can send artwork to us by email up to around 5mb file size, upload through our WeTransfer channel for larger files, or deliver in person.

We ask that you provide us with native artwork, such as an InDesign packaged file with fonts and linked images, so that we can make adjustments or amendments if needed. A PDF is useful as a reference.

Before you send artwork files, please quickly run through the following checklist:

• Have you included all the image files?
• Have you added (3mm) bleeds at page edges?
• Are the images high enough resolution (minimum 300 dpi)?
• Have you included a PDF visual so that we can see what it should look like when printed?

If you’re not sure about settings or how to supply artwork, please get in touch.

Our digital presses use a four colour CMYK process to achieve an incredible range of colours.

Our digital presses can take a wide range of coated and uncoated stocks, up to 350gsm. We have a wide range of of bespoke digital papers from all UK and European suppliers, including full creative ranges from GF Smith, Fedrigioni and ArjoWiggins.

Digital print is perfectly suited to short run books, brochures, leaflets, postcards, posters, stationery – and just about anything else you can dream up to print. It is economical for print runs of up to around 500, after which Litho comes into its own.
