An exciting day out of the centre of Leeds to Pressision in Pudsey.
Some examples of work they've printed:
Conclusions From Visit
This was the first time i've ever visited a professional printers, and it was really good fun. Pressision was set up by an ex-graphic designer, and they specialise in creative printer. It was inspiring to see work they've printed, and made me feel really hopefully that when I'm funded with bigger clients in the future, I can get worked printed really interestingly.
The most impressive printed for me was the litho press, which prints an incredible amount of pages a minute. I would love to design something that gets printed at mass.
Another interesting fact - Pressision have a digital printer that can print white, something i've never known can be done. This also means white can be used as an 'underpinned' colour, so in general, lighter colours than the stock can be printed.
Pressision also had some charming foil block machines, that are still in use after 50 years.
