The availability of a 5th and 6th special colour allows for printing in White, Gold, Silver and Clear dry inks. The mixing of these colours can offer the use of an Iridescent palette, giving our clients the ability to be as creative as they possibly can.
The use of the White, Gold, Silver or Clear onto a coloured stock is widely used for Brochure covers and is a faster and cheaper alternative to foiling. The Banner sheet facility allows for A3 landscape booklets, 8pp A4 fold outs and concertina folded booklets.
Case study
A3 Case Bound Brochure:
A client required us to print a brochure at A3 size, but wanted their images to spread across the sheet and wanted to avoid the pinching at the spine that the usual glue binding creates.
Our recommendation was to print the body of the document on banner sheets 960mm in length. Fold and collate as 16pp sections, then sew and gather and glue to create a traditional book binders block.
Then using Colorplan end paper, the block was bound into a case cover that was foiled in Silver and Gloss Black onto a Matt Black Plike paper.
