Spot colour printing is a process used to print one or two colours on the printed page. This method is more economical as you need just one or two plates as opposed to 4 plates in full colour. This method of printing is most widely used for letterheads, business cards, NCR sets, compliment slips and invoices.

As you can see in the picture below spot colours are mixed to an exact colour specification whereas full colour process is a mixture of the 4 colours CMYK (see our separate pages on Full Colour Printing for more information).



Spot colour is very useful when you have a specific Pantone® that you would like rather than the standard CMYK colours. Many blue chip clients usually require this as they have a company logo that needs to be printed in a specified Pantone® colour.

Our two Heidelberg presses are modern 1 and 2 colour SRA3 litho presses. They print with inks mixed to match the Pantone® Spot colours chosen by the customer.

These presses are able to print up to SRA3 which is oversized A3 on materials up to 400gsm. The majority of letterheads, compliment slips and general printed stationery is printed on 90 - 100gsm paper, flyers and brochures can be printed on anything between 115gsm and 300gsm gloss or matt coated material, business cards are normally printed on 330gsm ivory board. We also print calendars, booklets, pads, NCR sets in either books or pads, labels ...........  The list is endless - if you need something printed then give us a call or Request a Quote.

We are able to supply all printed matter, so whatever your requirements are we are able to help.
