Advanced Heidelberg Presses for Unmatched Print Quality

Our pressroom runs exclusively on Heidelberg Speedmaster presses. The flagship SM102 is a B1, 10-colour perfecting press that prints five colours on both sides in a single pass, built for high-volume colour work. The XL105 is a B1 six-colour press with an aqueous coating unit and IR drying, suited to detailed bespoke work with special colours and coatings. The SM52 is a B3 two-colour press for smaller jobs that need spot colours, or for high volumes in a smaller format.

​

These presses have been matched with highly skilled and activated operators to provide an efficient and flexible service.

 

At the heart of our colour control directly linked to our prepress is the Heidelberg Image Control system for automated colour management ensuring maximum consistency regardless of run length.

 

When offset is the right choice

 

Offset printing transfers ink from a plate to a rubber blanket, then onto paper. Once the press is set up, every sheet matches the last. It's the right process when you need:

  • Consistent colour across long runs

  • True Pantone spot colours and metallic inks

  • Uncoated, textured or heavier stocks, including FSC® certified stocks

  • Aqueous coatings applied in line

 

Offset or digital?

 

Our HP Indigo 7800 suits fast turnarounds and personalised versions. Offset suits work where colour, stock or finish call for it. The choice isn't only about quantity. Colours, stock and the finish you want all play a part, so we'll recommend the best process for each job.

 

Press checks and colour approval

 

For colour-critical work, such as art books, brand collateral and exhibition catalogues, you're welcome to attend a press check and approve colour at the press. Heidelberg Image Control measures every sheet against the approved standard throughout the run.
