Screenprinting is great for prints designed to be screenprints. A bold design in a few colours will work best. Every colour is printed separately therefore a four colour print will cost approximately four times a one colour print.. Most of the time is in preparing the screens and mixing the colours, the actual printing time is comparatively short so printing a large number does not cost a great deal more than a small number. Size doesnt matter very much, it is as easy and almost as cheap to print an B2 (50x70cm) for instance as it is to print an A2 so it doenst make sense to print small things in small numbers. You can find a price guide below but email the artwork for a firm quote. We can send out samples of mixed colours for you to ok and will always print a proof to be approved unless it is a one colour print.
We do not print stickers, T shirts, tote bags or onto any fabric.
We print using waterbased inks up to an image size of 60×90 cm, the paper can be bigger.
Having a small studio with limited space means we would not normally print editions of over 100 unless a small size.
You can specify Uncoated Pantone colour references and we will do our best to match them. Normally we can get pretty close but some very subtle colours can be tricky. You can come in to oversee or as long as time allows we can send colour samples in the post to you.
We can print with fluorescent colours, phosphorescent (glow in the dark) ink, metallic inks and varnish. Any of these can be also be added to a digital print.
Our paper comes from JP Purcell and GF Smith who between them offer a wide range of budget and quality papers and a huge range of colours in various weights.
