Not just pressing the big PRINT button on the press, Ganoosh (as he is known) is a fully trained HP Indigo operator pushing the boundaries of digital print.
Andy Birch
Finishing Supervisor
Arguably the most important part of the print. If it isn't finished right, it won't be right. Andy finishes to his own very high standards.

NEW HP INDIGO 5500 INSTALLED
February 2014
It has been a couple of weeks of upheaval, but definitely worth the stress (we think that now), as our new HP Indigo 6 colour (+ white ink) digital press is purring away in our press room.
Very much looking forward to getting 'under the covers' and seeing what the press can do. The ability to emulate Pantone colours using our HP Electrostatic inks maintains brand consistency on the shorter runs, previously only able by printing an extra spot colour.
The addition of white ink on the press provides the creative edge when trying to be different for your clients. White ink has always been one for the screen printers, not any more. By adding white ink to coloured boards we can bring the page to life.
See for yourself - ask about our sample swatch today.
