Our standard largest print size is 320x460 mm, larger sizes can be produced on request. Our PrePress Department consists of a Power Macintosh G4 and an IBM PC Pro Computer. We have a Heidelberg Linotype Scanner and forOutput a HP Laserjet 2100 TN, a Brother Hl 820 Laser Printer and a Canon A3 Colour Inkjet Printer. Printing at speeds of up to 8000 sheets per hour our new press will print anything from business cards to full colour posters to the highest quality.
Film make-up is performed using a layout table. The layout indicates clearly the position of text, illustrations,etc.,and contains all cutting guide marks, folding marks and any other information necessary to ensure correct make-up in film. Conventional metal litho plates are made by exposing the litho film which is held by vacuum contact with a light sensitive plate.This operation is performed in a print-down frame using ultra - violet radiation.  The ready imaged printing plate. 
The printing plate is mounted on the plate cylinder in the Off-set Press. The plate is inked up and the image is then transferred to the rubber blanket cylinder and then to the paper. This all happens at very high rotation speeds.
