Print is its
own discipline

A great image on screen does not guarantee a great image on paper. Paper stock, ink set, screen ruling and press calibration all change how an image appears in its audience’s hands. Our print optimisation specialists prepare every file with its destination press in mind.

We work directly with our clients’ chosen print houses, and hold long-standing relationships with printers across Europe, North America and Asia.

Working with your printer, or ours

Files are delivered with the exact profiles, separations and proof references the press requires. Where useful, our specialists attend press passes to sign off colour in person.

One workflow, many presses

Because all of our retouching, colour and print preparation run on calibrated workstations across London, New York, Hong Kong and South Asia, a sale or campaign printed in multiple cities reads as a single body of work.
