Hot Off The Press!

Last week Mrs Blackwell spent a morning at Lamb Peters for a production check as our brand new range of greeting cards came off the press. 

Your might not think a print factory is a photogenic place, but we disagree and here's our photo essay to prove it:

Beautifully dense and saturated offset inks being prepared for our greeting cards.

Four separate colour plates are required for each greeting card created using the offset process.

The offset printing machine in action. In general, the offset process is more environmentally friendly than digital print.

Samples pulled from the press, ready to be checked with meticulous detail.

Mrs Blackwell and Production Manager Aaron from Lamb Peters check the proofs in detail.

Mrs Blackwell pretends to know what she's looking for.

And then the professionals step back in to be absolutely certain!

Rich, saturated colours on recycled stock can only be achieved with offset printing.

Our greeting cards stacked and ready for the move to be trimmed and creased.
