High Volume Litho Printing 

LITHO PRINTING IN EDINBURGH

Litho printing is the more traditional form of printing, and is suitable for higher volumes and smaller jobs that require exceptional quality. It’s also good for printing on heavier stock and for producing special colours – Pantone inks for example. Our main production hub has massive print capacity. We can produce virtually unlimited quantities, so this type of printing is very useful for long run leaflets and flyers, as well as larger booklets and brochures. Print production in an ethical and environmentally friendly way is crucially important to us. Our hub’s Environmental Management System had independently accredited to ISO14001, which means that we are continually assessed on our environmental objectives, policies and plans.

Our main printing machines are:

  • 2001 Komori Lithrone L440 4colour with anilox coating tower
  • 2003 Komori Lithrone LS440 4colour with anilox coating tower
  • 2006 Komori Lithrone SP440 4 colour “double decker” with duplex anilox coater

All presses are fully automatic and feature KHS pre-inking; utilising CIP data from prepress, and x-rite fully automatic scanning spectrophotometers to reduce waste and makeready time, and control both presses whilst running.
