PRESSISION: VISIT

Roxxie had arranged a visit to  Pressision to look into what they do. I thought this visit would be really beneficial considering my personal branding and projects for the future to see what they could offer.

Notes

- Spink and Thackray: book binders in Headingley
- They use liquid based inks which means that they can digitally print in white ink!!
- Underpinned printing in white highlights the colours printed on top of stock to make them stand out more.
- Perfect bound folded with perforation to make folds pristine.
- Foil block machines used at 136 degrees for foiling. Their oldest machine is from the 1950s.
- Personalised printing is available there.
- Can perfect bind an 8 page book. 1mm minimum spine - 60mm maximum

Overview

The visit to Pressision really useful as we got to learn a lot details about the different ways to print and what is required for certain pieces of artwork. The staff where really friendly and informative and I will look into getting some of my work printed their in the future.
