Colour book printing

Ideal for printing books that require superior photographic reproduction

We give publishers the opportunity to print either digital or offset litho highly illustrated colour books. Our high-end book printing service is perfectly suited for run lengths from 50 copies up to around 5000 for both paperbacks and hardbacks in any trim size from 148 x 105mm up to A4 landscape and beyond.

This service is ideally suited to books where quality of halftone reproduction is paramount including:
colour book printing

  • Directories
  • School yearbooks
  • Art books
  • Photography books
  • History books
  • Family memoirs
  • Cookery books
  • Fundraising for a charity
  • Sports books
  • Children’s books

Digital or Litho – which is the right production route for me?

Although the digital presses in today’s market-place produce extremely high quality products – almost comparable to offset litho printed books – digitally printed books will have a different look and feel to what you might expect from litho production. If you are not sure which technology is the right one for your book then then we are more than happy to send samples to ensure that we will meet your expectations of the finished article.

It is also worth bearing in mind that typically digital printing will be suitable for projects from 20 up to around 400 copies and quantities over that will be more economic down the offset litho route.
