Our laser printers are also able to print standard posters to A3 size. Layout and design services are available.

Quickscreen 3 banners (pull-up banners)

Quickscreen 3 banners are printed on a vinyl material and come in their own chrome stand and carry case. They stands can have a variety of different coloured ends including black, white, red and blue. Quickscreen banners are usually required to be branded and we can offer this design service. We will need high-quality images (see FAQs).

Design time for quickscreen banners usually takes a few working days, depending on the amount of proofing and other necessary work (eg obtaining high-resolution images). Then, as they are outsourced, they usually take 5-7 working days to produce after artwork is sent to the printers.

We have a high-speed black and white machine able to print large-volume, high-quality black and white prints for booklets, manuals, reports, documents and teaching materials. We are able to provide a design and print service for covers and a range of finishing options (see below).

Automated scanning to pdf is also available for small to large documents (A4 size).

Clear plastic covers are recommended for bound documents to give added protection to the covers. They can be inserted on the front and/or back before binding.

Coloured paper

We have a range of different coloured paper stock, from normal to heavier weights. Coloured paper can be used to separate sections of printed documents, for example.

Offset printing

Our staff are able to liaise with external offset printers to provide high-quality printing process for large volumes of publication materials. Offset printing is best for large print runs as it offers the highest level of quality at a cheaper per-unit rate after the initial setup. Multimedia staff will determine the suitability of offset printing on a per-job basis. Please note offset printing requires longer printing timelines (around 10 working days).
