Offset litho
Here at Cambridge, we have a
versatile, extensive plant, which enables us to print economically
on the widest range of papers in all book formats.
Lightweight paper printing
In 2003 we made substantial investment in the UK’s first
two Akiyama J Print machines, and in so doing have pioneered
lightweight, waterless, sheet-fed production on large-format
machines (with a maximum sheet size of 820x1120mm). So far, our
new presses have surpassed expectations. These machines run at
higher
speed
than
the old
eight-colour
press, offer better quality, and are able to print from 1/1 up
to 4/4 on a range of papers, from as low as 25gsm.
Optimum climate conditions are maintained with a humidification
system that ensures paper characteristics are retained in the
manufacturing process. This is of particular importance when
printing waterless, and when folding on lightweight papers. Uniquely
configured MBO K800 folders are used to fold this lightweight
paper.
“We are the only printer in the world
able to produce such high quality, sheet-fed, on stocks as low as
these.”
Lithographic book printing
In addition, three Speedmaster 102 ZP presses produce monochrome
and two-colour sheets, including text, integrated illustrations
and dedicated plate sections, to the highest quality, on a
complete range of papers.
Covers, jackets and printed paper cases
Our covers, jackets and printed paper cases are all printed on
two Speedmaster 74 FPLX presses, supported by full lamination
facilities.
