Short runs, quick turnarounds, the same colour.

Digital is the answer when the run is too small for litho or the deadline is too tight. We run several digital presses side by side, so we have the capacity to turn jobs round fast without cutting corners.

What we produce

Ideal for smaller quantities that do not justify litho set-up costs, or anything that needs to be ready quickly.

  • Business cards
  • Invitations
  • Stationery
  • Short-run brochures
  • Pitch documents
  • Presentations
  • Personalised mailers
  • Labels
  • Long-format banners
  • Advance copies of litho jobs

Colour that matches your litho run

Our GMG colour server converts every job so it looks the same whichever press it runs on. A short digital reprint will match the original litho job, and digital proofs can stand in as advance copies before a main litho run.

We can also print full colour variable data, so every item in a run can carry a different name, address or code.

Litho or digital?

You do not need to decide. Tell us the job and we will recommend the right one. As a rough guide:

Choose litho for

  • Runs of a few hundred copies or more
  • Pantone spot colours and exact brand matching
  • Specialist stocks, heavy boards and envelopes
  • Watermarking, thermo printing and NCR sets
About litho printing

Choose digital for

  • Short runs and one-offs
  • Very tight deadlines
  • Personalised items and variable data

Common questions

How quickly can you turn round a digital job?

Digital needs no plates or make-ready, so it is our fastest route to finished print. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote and we will confirm what is possible.

What is the smallest run you will print?

Digital is built for short runs, right down to a single copy such as a one-off colour presentation.

Can you personalise each item?

Yes. We can print full colour variable data, so names, addresses, codes or images can change from one item to the next.

Will a digital reprint match my original litho job?

Our GMG colour server is set up to keep colour consistent across digital and litho, so reprints and advance copies match the main run.
