Inkjet
SOLO print up to A3 full colour duplex on a state of the art high speed inkjet printer at around 120ppm. This remarkable printer is capable of printing on up to 210gsm card using a single pass cold process which can print to within a few millimeters of the edge of the page..
Envelope Addressing
SOLO can print up to 45,000 envelopes per hour on a high speed envelope printer with customer name and address information. The high quality inkjet addressing system can handle custom sized envelope, paper or card stock and can also print filled envelopes if required. SOLO also provide a label printing service for those pieces unsuitable for direct addressing, along with pre-printed franked address labels for packets and parcels that cannot be run through a standard franking machine. If addressing is required on envelopes being printed with logos or banners this can be done in a single pass.
Envelope Printing
Royal Mail Postage Paid Impressions (PPIs), return addresses and customer supplied graphics are applied to stock envelopes in black and white using the Risographic wet printing technology. All layout is digitally ripped and can be setup for even the smallest of quantities. Setup time for new projects is usually less than fifteen minutes. This printing technique is also suitable for single-side or duplex document duplication and is an economical alternative to photocopying.
Inkjet envelope printing on our high speed colour printer opens a vast array of possibilities as full colour graphics can be laid down on the envelope at the same time as the customer name and address. Graphics can also be merged during the run so that different customers receive different pictures on the envelope face. The possibilities are endless and the prices are often more favorable than short run litho!
Digital Printing
Digital print is the fastest, most flexible medium to carry your message. Our HP Indigo presses produce print quality which is comparable to and often exceeds that of traditional litho printing. What is more it does so without the need for time-consuming and expensive film and plates or complex machine make-ready processes. Artwork, via ISDN FTP or email, can be on press in minutes! Variable fields (differing text, colours, images and mail-merge data) can be incorporated to achieve highly complex personalisation, which is proven to improve response rates dramatically. Of course, digital printing can also be used as an economic way to generate high quality, low volume runs - as few as one, if required.
