Full Colour Printing is produced by the combination of Four Colours – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (also known as Key explaining why the process is sometimes described as CMYK printing). The process involves separating each of the colours in the files in to their four colour components. The colour separation is known as colour screening and today this is generally a digital process. A separate Print Plate is made for each colour.

Our main press has an inline water-based coater which coats the sheets with an environmentally friendly, biodegradable coating, this gives all jobs a completely rub resistant finish and a very high quality smooth surface on the paper. It also means all work comes out of the press fully dry and is ready to be processed for finishing within 10 minutes.
