Equipment
Lithographic Printing
- 5 colour press (4 process colours or spot colours)
with numbering and perforating unit, both of these presses are used for full colour printing. - 1 colour press
these presses are used for commercial printing requirements, and also have numbering and perforating units capabilities if required
Digital Printing
For shorter run requirements of full colour or black only we use the digital printing method that alleviates the use of printing plates and uses a toner based principle, in which the image is sent direct from an Apple Mac design computer to the press, and then finished in the conventional way.
Environment
We also take our environmental responsibilities very seriously.
Our printing plates are produced without the use of chemicals, the image being created by laser diodes, rather than the old method of exposure to UV light and then developed with chemicals.
This means there is no waste film, chemicals or contaminated water for the environment to deal with and the aluminium plates are recycled.
Bio inks or vegetable oil based ink are used wherever they are compatible with the required materials.
All waste inks and tins are collected by a specialist waste control company and are treated in compliance with the 1990 Environmental Protection Act and all relevant legislation.
We also endeavour to use recycled and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certificated paper and board whenever possible.
Recycled material is not always the most cost effective option when producing printed items and for this reason we allow our customers to make that decision based on their budget for the job.
All of our paper waste is collected for recycling, amounting to in excess of six tonnes per year! We also donate our paper offcuts to local primary and nursery schools!
