Inspiring and creative solutions to help your business grow.
NS Print provides lithographic (litho) printing services for businesses and organisations looking for consistent, professional results across larger print runs. From brochures and leaflets to stationery and other commercial print, we’ll help you choose a specification that works for your project and budget. By combining the proven reliability and quality of Heidelberg presses and our highly trained and experienced print operatives, we are able to offer a highly competitive service.
When you’re producing a larger quantity of printed materials, litho printing can offer an efficient and cost-effective way to achieve consistent results from the first copy to the last.
Although there’s more preparation involved before printing begins, once the press is set up, larger quantities can be produced efficiently.
Litho printing, also known as lithographic or offset printing, starts with your artwork being transferred onto printing plates. Ink is then transferred from the plate before being applied to your chosen paper or card.
This process gives you consistent reproduction across a large number of copies and makes litho printing particularly suited to projects where colour and detail need to remain consistent throughout the run.
There’s an initial set-up process involved, so litho isn’t always the right choice for a small quantity. For shorter print runs, digital printing can be more appropriate. However, for larger quantities, litho printing can be much more cost-effective.
Your print needs to represent your organisation clearly, whether you’re producing hundreds of brochures for an event or a larger quantity of materials for an ongoing campaign.
Litho printing can be used across a wide variety of commercial print projects, including:
The right approach depends on your quantity, artwork, paper, colour requirements and how you plan to use the finished materials. We’ll talk through those details with you and recommend an appropriate print specification rather than adding options you don’t need.
At NS Print we are fully equipped with Heidelberg printing presses with each press calibrated to our CTP system which uses chemistry free plates and quality checks are carried out frequently using densitometers to maintain a high level of consistency.
A successful litho print project starts before anything reaches the press. Your artwork, quantity, paper choice, colours and finishing all contribute to the final result.
At NS Print, our graphic designers and print specialists work alongside each other, so we can support your project from the initial artwork through to printing and finishing.
