Colour Print Introduction

Our Full Colour Printing is produced on state-ofthe- art Roland, KBA and Heidelberg Lithographic Printing Presses. These range in size from B3 (using our Heidelberg SM52 presses) right up to 1600mm x 1180mm size (using our phenomenal new KBA 162a press).

The superior quality of these machines allows us to produce work of the very highest standard. Quality control at every stage of the production process is your assurance of complete satisfaction, ensuring that whatever your message it is powerfully delivered.

Advanced Printing Technology We are among the few printers to use Stochastic Screening for all our Lithographic Printing. It means that traditional ‘dots’ of colour are replaced with much smaller random screens. The results are dramatic, with improvements in the quality of both pictures and fine text. Though the technology is not the same, the difference is like comparing High Definition with ordinary television!! Full Colour Printing formed by the combination of four colours (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) is perfect for the majority of work, however, there are times when more specialised products are required. We are able to off er Hexachrome (Six Colour Printing) and Metal FX (Metallic Printing). We are also pleased to print in Spot Colours. Hexachrome can produce exceptional results, particularly for jobs which call for vivid oranges and greens. It involves the combination of six colours, rather than four in conventional

printing, to produce the full rainbow spectrum. Metal FX is a relatively new process. We have passed strict criteria to be licensed to use the system. Metal FX allows any number of Metallic colours to be produced on the same page with Full Colour. Example of printing

Spot Colour Printing can be more economical than Full Colour when your job is only one or two colours. It can also produce greater vibrancy for some colours. For more details please refer to page 55.
