With our extensive knowledge of both variable and fine art printing we have the latest equipment to provide our customers with the best of both worlds in litho and digital print production.

Our new press, a Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 75-5+L, a B2 five colour press with an inline coater, is a flagship machine combining the latest technology to reduce waste and improve efficiencies along with improved colour management to ISO standards. 

What does this do for you? Using the new press we can reduce the time taken to set up the press and print at higher speeds, combined with other technology savings such as reducing waste, we can offer faster turnarounds and attractive pricing. 

The new press has ISO standard colour management ensuring colour match and constancy is second to none. The addition of the coater means minimal drying time and faster job turnaround, this can also be combined with Gloss or Matt coating to produce innovative and attention grabbing printed materials that will bring your marketing to life on brochures and leaflets, folders, magazines, annual reports, stationery and point of sale.

A highly competent finishing department handles folding, straight/shape cutting, laminating, blanket/spot varnishing, stitching, gluing, assembly and encapsulation. 

Proper fulfilment of an order is key to any campaign, because we have a dedicated department. We can exploit this facility and offer genuine in-house fulfilment packages and multi-site delivery using our own drivers or national couriers.

Positive Images have always been environmentally aware and are FSC and PEFC accredited. For more details on this click on the Environmental Policy tab. 

Print is what we know.

Digital Print

Digital printing is a low-cost, high speed alternative to lithographic printing when only small volumes are required. However in reality it’s so much more than that, the fact that every impression on a digital press is different opens up a whole new world of opportunity. ...read more

Digital is good for short runs and is great value for money and keeps the quality that you would expect from us. If you frequently have tight deadlines then this could be the answer for you and it takes the stress away too.

As with litho you can print anything from leaflets, certificates and brochures to annual reports. The greatest asset is personalisation for all your materials from letters, leaflets and postcards to brochures using a spreadsheet or database to improve your marketing responses and build customer loyalty.
