Litho
old methods, new technology Litho printing hasn’t really changed a great deal since the first ever Offset Litho press in 1468. The principle of applying pressure to an inked surface on paper, transferring an offset of an image, remains the same. However the quality and technological advances we see today ensure litho printing remains unrivalled against other printing methods. The efficiency, quality and finish of our Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 75 is the best choice for larger print runs and where colour matching for brand is required.
