CP 360 - Litho & Digital Print

Welcome to CP 360!

Our customers know that we offer an extensive range of print options, however, we’d like to offer a deeper insight into our whole range of services and products, delving into what sets us apart and makes Clarkeprint “more than just a printer”.

Starting with Lithographic and Digital printing, we’ve compiled some key information and highlighted the creative possibilities achievable.

INNOVATION is at the heart of everything we do, we are continually adapting and upgrading technology and hardware as the industry evolves. In 2020, we invested in state-of-the-art digital printing equipment, becoming the first company in Europe to install two Xerox Iridesse 8-colour digital presses!

Not only do the digital presses produce superlative production quality, but the addition of gold, silver, opaque, white, clear and pink inks enables endless design possibilities for creative designers and in-house marketing departments!

The gold and silver metallic colours can be used on their own or blended with CMYK to create stunning iridescent palettes, whilst white underlays allow you to print full colour on virtually any stock.

With the installation of a new digital Xerox press, we can now utilise pink ink too. It can also be used alone as a spot colour, layered with CMYK, or with metallic inks! Take a look at the video below to see it in situ!

We have offered Litho printing from our central Birmingham factory since 1982 and it remains at the heart of our business when it comes to fulfilling long print runs. Our modern two, four and five-colour litho presses offer fantastic productivity and quality on a huge range of paper stocks; coupled with our efficient pre-press processes, diverse in-house finishing facilities and can-do attitude they enable us to fulfil an immense range of client requirements quickly and cost-effectively.

We value great collaboration with clients, ensuring clear COMMUNICATION at every stage of production. If you have a print problem, our team of experts are on hand to develop a solution, or an alternative way of printing a job, in alignment with your vision!

This may include providing visuals or dummies, however, it is not solely exclusive to print itself. For example, after various discussions with one of our clients, we installed an online ordering system. This is available for clients to order from 365 days a year, and also features personalisation facilities.

In 2022, Clarkeprint was presented a Xerox Best of the Best Award for their Less Waste, More Impact mailer. A self-promotion campaign centred around sustainable and environmental pledges.

Not only does this stand as an ode to the staff that contributed their innovative ideas, but to the company’s constant progression over the last four decades.
