Paper we keep on the shelf

Cotton 300

Soft, absorbent, takes a deep bite. Our default for cards.

Cotton 600

Thick enough to stand on edge. Not folded — we score and print flat.

Cotton rag 118

For suites and programmes that will be folded twice.

Kraft 350

One colour only, and only black or rust. Cheap and honest.

Lead times

Notecards and cards: two to three weeks from approved proof. Wedding suites: four weeks, five in the spring. Anything needing foil or edge paint adds ten working days because it leaves the shop. We book one job at a time on the Platen, so a date is held only once the deposit is in.

Proofing

Every job gets a physical proof on the final stock. We post it; you write back with changes or a yes. Two rounds of small changes are included. After that we charge press time again, because re-setting type is the actual work.

Rush work

We will sometimes take a rush if the bench is clear. It costs half again and it means someone prints on a Saturday. Ask plainly and we will answer plainly.

Deposits are half up front, half on delivery. Reprints of a job we have printed before start at sixty per cent of the original, because the plates and the make-ready are already done.
