We are pleased and proud to continue to offer spot colour litho printing. At a time when this skill is diminishing (as litho printers closedown, switch to digital or want to only print in CMYK) we welcome enquiries for spot Pantone colours and would be pleased to provide quotations.
In addition, our exciting new Fuji Revoria 5 colour digital press can match more Pantone and RGB colours than a standard CYMK digital.
On our litho press we can print in a single spot colour, multiple spot colours, or a combination of CMYK and spot colour. For each colour, a separate printing plate is used and colour is mixed off the press, by eye, providing EXACT colour matching on a variety of paper types.
Why use spot colours?
There are many good reasons but mixing a spot colour, matching a standing copy or a Pantone reference, is the best way to ensure consistency in the colours of your brand – particularly on different types of paper. Additionally, printing spot colours means we can reproduce far more colours beyond the limitations of CMYK printing. What is CMYK?
When printing in four colour process (CYMK), an exact match to a Pantone cannot be guaranteed. Not all Pantone colours can be reproduced in the CMYK process – some change very dramatically when split into a Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black mix.
If your logo is a specific Pantone colour, then choose us to faithfully reproduce your colour as litho printed spot colours or get a far better match than your existing printer on our 5 colour digital press.
Important to remember: Litho printing is designed for medium to long print runs and each colour needs a separate printing plate and set up on the machine. Unfortunately with these set-up costs short run Pantone litho printing is not always economically viable. Unlike other printers, however, our spot colour litho is backed up with our fabulous 5 Colour Digital, matching more colours on short runs than ever before.
