Digital Printing Company

Ex Why Zed has built a reputation as a leading UK full colour digital printer. Our “Can Do” attitude and large press capacity means we will aim to find a print solution to the most bespoke request or tightest deadline.

Printing your next job digitally gives you the flexibility to trial company brochures, campaigns and products before committing to a larger litho run. It is ideal for short print runs – why order thousands of copies when you only really need a few hundred?

The advantage to digital printing is there is no minimum order quanity. You want to print one copy?  We’ll print you one copy.  You want to print 173 copies, we can do that too.  The set up costs are low so printing a handful of copies is well within your budget and super fast to arrive aswell. Win win!

The Indigo is a versatile beast and opens up many possibilities to make your project more eye-catching.

We can actually print in white ink. Yes white!  This solution particularly comes into its own when you choose one of the darker shades from the GF Smith Colorplan range and then we can add content using white ink. Check out the Fine Dining book and the Gin Anthology, see left, both are printed onto Colorplan Ebony.  This process works best for logos, text and vector graphics rather than intricate details.  The way to prepare artwork for white ink printing makes it nigh on impossible to print photography in white ink unless you have an iron patience and legendary Photoshop skills.

The electrostatic ink tends to ‘sit’ on the paper surface more than it does with litho printing where it has a tendancy to really soak in and lose ‘punch’. So, printing onto uncoated papers is arguably more effective when printed digitally than it is litho.

We have been doing this a while now and have seen a lot of impressive publications come off our digital presses.  To give you some ideas of what can be achieved, here are three creative print specifications.  Each has its own characteristics which have proven to be winning combinations from a production perspective, cost per unit and most importantly, have reader appeal.
