Quality Digital Printing
Digital printing is cost effective for short runs, variable data printing and direct mail - but we have always considered environmental credentials, quality and cost effectiveness to be of vital importance.
Our digital press was been chosen because it is the first and only machine that meets our criteria and is worthy to sit alongside our state of the art B2 and B3 conventional printing presses. With regards to print quality, colour calibration and compatibility with the range of papers we require to be printed it scores on all counts.
Digital Printing on FSC and Recycled Papers
Digital presses have largely relied on the use of manufacturers "approved papers" and until now this has excluded printing on the carefully chosen FSC and Recycled Papers we use on our conventional printing presses.
The Xerox DC8080 performs exceptionally well with our chosen papers such as Revive Recycled and FSC Certified Silk. Additionally, new digital specific papers are being introduced to the market and the majority of them come with FSC certificates - which allows us to update our range of products, such as the new gloss posters we now feature.
EA Toners - Eco Friendly Digital Toner
A grey area when it comes to digital printing has always been the eco-credentials of the toners or ink employed. Especially when compared to the alcohol free running and organic vegetable oil based inks used on our conventional litho printing presses.
The next generation toner from industry leader Xerox changes that. Produced by Emulsion Aggregation, a chemical process used to 'grow' very small, uniform particles, these toners do not use the conventional kneading or pulverizing method. 'Growing' the toner particles uses 25 -35% less energy per 450g of toner, combined with 40-50% less toner required during printing.
- A 60-70% energy reduction per printed page
- Elimination of fuser oil and image fixing at lower temperatures
This significantly reduces the power consumption of theXerox DC8080 digital printer compared to competitors technology, whilst delivering exceptional print quality.
