Lithographic Print

What is Lithographic Print?

Lithographic print is the most commonly used process for the production of printed matter. The required image is etched and processed onto a plate, this plate when on a machine has ink (oil) and water applied to it. This image is then offset onto a rubber blanket and then pressed onto the media, usually paper or board. Inks dry onto the surface of the media either by a process of oxidisation, absorption or both, dependent on the media used.

Our continued investment in the latest technology ensures we are able to provide excellent Lithographic print for our clients at competitive prices. Both our B1 Heidelberg Speedmaster 10 colour Perfecting press with Axis colour control software fitted and our Mitsubishi 3H B1, print and are managed and calibrated to the ISO 12647 certification standard for colour. We are also running 250 Stochastic screening on all our work as opposed to the standard 200 line screen that the majority of printers use, which provides incredible quality and improves low resolution images throughout the job.

Why use Lithographic Print?

Lithographic Print is the preferred option for the production of medium – longer run projects, the unit cost once the press is up and running  is often the most effective way of producing you’re publication or project.

The production of work using this method is vibrant and the gamut of colours that can be achieved is considerable, also by using the Pantone matching system, it is possible to produce repeatable colours time and again.

All work we produce is subject to stringent quality checks and is all managed and controlled using ISO approved methodology.
