Our technical capabilities...

Large Format Film Output
Sizes up to 1219mm x 1676mm | Most File Formats Accepted

Our imagesetter is one of the largest in the country and is regularly used to output film for both litho and screen printers up to B0+ in size. Very large format jobs either monochrome or multi-colour for posters or maps can be handled by our reprographics team.

Large Format High Resolution Drum Scanning
Input up to 925 x 645mm | Output up to 1219 x 1676mm | With Full Colour Studio Facilities

Our large format drum scanner is capable of scanning colour film transparencies, monochrome film or reflected copy such as original paintings, drawings or previously printed items, such as maps that are needed in a digital form for reprinting. With the large format drum facility, we can scan items up to A1+ in size and can reduce and enlarge at the scanning stage with high definition retained up to B0+ sizes where required. We have full in house studio facilities to ensure quality control and colour correction as standard. The final scan file can be written to CD with proof copies, or output to film as required.

Large Format Cromalin Proofs
Sizes up to 1066 x 1524mm | With Pantone Colour Matching Capabilities

The only very large format analogue cromalin proofing system in the UK. We can proof from final films prior to platemaking up to 1066 x 1524mm (60”x 42”) and supply printers contract proofs, including mixing to match special colours, pantone etc.

Inkjet Digital Pre-Press Proofing
Sizes up to 1066mm x any length | With Harlequin / Compose ICC Profiled RIP

Our inkjet printer is normally used for one-off proofs of any size up to
1066 x 2000mm +. The high-resolution print is via a Postscript III Harlequin / Compose RIP with ICC colour profiling, ensuring that all trapping, overprints, and colour are set and that the proof is a good representation of the final printed product. We can also produce multiple prints, offering a very economical way of producing short-run printed work, where the cost of platemaking and printing is prohibitive.

Large Darkroom Camera
One of the few very large format cameras in the country. We can copy and reproduce, enlarge or reduce monochrome film or artwork of any size up to 1066 x 1650mm (42”x 65”) with this large format camera. A common use for this facility is to photo reduce drawings down to a size that enables us to scan it and supply as a digital file.
