Biddles' litho printing facility
accommodates a wide variety of book sizes. Our Heidelberg sheet-fed presses can produce
either monochrome, two- colour or four-colour perfected sheets of half-tone
and text work to the very highest standards.
Our Nipson Varypress digital web press offers monochrome printing at a quality comparable to litho printing and is the most productive machine in its market running at 120 metres per minute.
Biddles Publisher's Choice service, using our digital web press, is ideal for publishers who are looking for a high quality, but cost-effective, smaller print run (between 100 and 750 copies).
This service provides customers with a faster return on capital
employed, the option of shorter runs with quick reprints and
a much greater range of run lengths at competitive unit costs.

But is the print quality as good
as litho?
The quality of text printing is comparable with traditional
litho, but at an affordable cost.
Can the digital press produce all book
sizes?
Royal and Demy are the most popular book sizes, although all
standard UK book sizes can be produced.
