Pre-Press & Design
Computing Horsepower
The design phase is one of the most important stages in the process. To make sure we get consistent, clean design, we employ the latest in computing technology. Our design team are predominantly Mac-based, running high end machines alongside our dedicated prepress workstations.Agfa Apogee Prepress Server
Once your job is ready for print, it needs to be laid out for the CTP system (below). To do this, we use the industry standard 'Apogee PrePress' from Agfa. This helps us check your artwork for inconsistencies and ensures your job is imposed perfectly for the print process.'Agfa Acento II S' CTP System
We have just installed a new, cutting-edge CTP (Computer To Plate) system to produce our metal plates. The lithographic printing process requires ink to be transferred from these metal plates onto paper. This new addition allows us to produce even higher resolution work and now means we no longer use harmful chemicals when producing plates!Komori K-Station
When we send a job to the press, our integrated K-Station software transmits the CIP4/PPF colour and job control data to the Komori presses. This valuable software ensures that colour accuracy is achieved when going from computer to press.Print Equipment
Komori L528 Press
Our large Komori press is the machine that produces most of our large-scale jobs. Its colour accuracy and combined speed comes at a price - its sheer size! It has five colour units and can print up to 15,000 sheets per hour. This machine is in continuous use all day every day.Xerox Versant 180 Digital Colour Press
Our brand new Xerox Versant 180 is the latest in digital press technology and outshines the litho presses when it comes to urgency.

Our Heidelberg GTO52 press is used for smaller single colour runs. Like the Komori presses, it uses metal plates to press the image onto paper. A valuable asset of the GTO52 is its ability to fire out jobs such as envelopes at a blistering speed.Large Format Printer - Indoor or outdoor!
