Digital Print

High quality, high productivity digital print in the heart of Birmingham. Innovation and dedication to service offering personalisation, fast turnarounds and special finishes and embellishments from business cards to brochures.

Our digital print facilities are not to be confused or compared to those offered by small print shops or in-house reprographics departments; our digital commercial print presses use state of the art technology, components and inks to ensure superb quality and excellent productivity on a huge range of papers and boards.

Coupled with our in-house laminating, foiling, booklet making, wire-o and perfect binding facilities, as well as hand finishing for special projects, we have the capacity, capability and can-do attitude to accommodate anything that customers can (and do) throw at us.

What is Digital Printing?

Digital printing is the process of printing digital-based images directly onto a variety of media substrates. There is no need for a printing plate, unlike with litho printing. Digital files such as PDFs or desktop publishing files can be sent directly to the digital printing press to print on paper, photo paper, canvas, fabric, synthetics, cardstock and other substrates.

The main advantages of digital print are that rapid set-ups mean that short print runs are affordable and the fact that every sheet through the press can be different means the possibilities for in-line personalisation are virtually endless.

CMYK+

In 2020, we heavily 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 these presses offer the highest print quality, the addition of gold, silver, opaque white and clear inks enable 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 new stunning iridescent palettes, whilst using white underlays allows you to print full colour on virtually any stock.
