At Indigo Printshop, small format print is a catch all term we use for all the work that we do that easily fits into your hand and isn't printed on our signage equipment. Instead it's work that is manufactured on our suite of traditional and digital printing presses. It encompasses our huge experience in lithographic, digital formats, as well as branded promotion merchandise. In fact, it was the main service that we opened the doors with back in the hazy summer of 1992, as a good ol' printer. It goes without saying, things have evolved since then, but small format printed items still make extremely good partners to the banners; signs, stands and graphics that we typically produce for our client base.
As one of most well established creative production houses in Manchester, we offer litho and digital printing services in-house, allowing us to demonstrate the same attention to detail to our small format printing as we do to our lovingly produced sign and display products. It also helps our customers by saving them time and money looking for an alternative supplier when they can easily deal with us.
As a rule, when larger quantity items need printing (more than 500 units for example), litho and screen-printing methods are the preferred mediums of choice. If you need colour accurate printing that is matched to the universal Pantone™ colour standard, then you definitely have to produce using litho printing techniques. Digital print is the most suitable method for on demand and cost effective printing of short run projects and some branded merchandise.
