Create successful ePaper yourself
Turn your PDF publications into a flip-book with our unique Google optimized e-Paper software.
Design<br />
Using state of the art Apple Macs and printing industry standard software, our experienced staff can prepare the print ready<br />
files for all your newsletters, posters and marketing material.<br />
If we are printing direct from your Word, Publisher, PowerPoint and Excel files, we will check your logos and graphics comply<br />
with corporate standards and simply get on with the job.<br />
If you need a PDF emailed back to you for uplifting to the intranet, then that is all part of the service.<br />
We can accept work by e-mail or, alternatively for larger files, by using our FTP site “FileZilla” (see our Plant List & Artwork<br />
Information brochure for more details).<br />
Digital Colour<br />
For top quality production colour, the Xerox DC700 is the answer to all your short run print on demand needs. We produce<br />
over 60,000 colour prints per month from business cards to prestige reports. For those just-in-time jobs, a same day or next<br />
day service is the norm with many customers preferring to email their files to us as a PDF or in Word, Publisher and<br />
PowerPoint. This print on demand service means you can target your print run to match your budget and cut down on<br />
unnecessary waste by ordering too many copies. If the need arises, run lengths can be as low as single figures and all print<br />
files are archived for easy retrieval or any additional copies so we can get into production within hours.<br />
We now also offer an on-the-run personalisation service. This is ideal for certificates or for direct marketing to key clients and<br />
does not cost any extra! Multiple lines of text can be placed on one piece of common artwork to give a real professional look<br />
and give the document added value.<br />
We can print on a wide range of stocks - silk, gloss, uncoated and even recycled. The quality is as near litho as possible as the<br />
press is controlled by a Fiery RIP to ensure industry standard colour.<br />
