The Alpha team recognise that environmental concerns are always present with print production and we take these issues very seriously. We have taken the following steps to ensure best practice in our industry:
litho
At Alpha we always go the extra mile offering top-quality print and customer service that exceeds our customers’ expectations. From complex five-colour projects to smaller one-colour jobs, all our work is produced to the same exacting standards.
Ongoing investment in the latest print technology ensures we remain at the cutting-edge of the industry. We utilise the latest workflow management tools enabling jobs to be accurately tracked, eliminating waste and errors.
We are very proud to be the first UK company to buy a carbon neutralised press, meaning that the amount of carbon used in the manufacture of the press has been offset by a financial injection into global sustainability projects. Since the purchase of our Heidelberg Colour Press we have already seen a 20% increase in productivity in terms of speed of production and at least a 10% reduction in energy usage – all good news helping us to keep costs down.
digital
With our digital print, jobs can be turned around fast – usually within 24 hours. The technology also allows for inexpensive personalisation, making tailored marketing simple.
Printing at an impressively high-resolution of 1200pi, our Ricoh Pro press produces work of an outstanding quality, far superior to that of standard digital presses. We offer cost-effective short runs, providing an economical solution for smaller jobs, saving on plate costs.
Our digital press can print all sizes from A5 to oversize A3 and at a speed of up to 90 pages per minute. We can fold and inline staple jobs, making it ideal for shorter-run booklets and brochures, and offer a vast range of finishing processes, all of which are provided in-house, enabling exceptional quality and control.
Come and say hello.
Our clients are very welcome to come and see our work for themselves. We are always happy to give a guided tour of the factory and advise on any ongoing projects. Simply give us a call – we look forward to meeting you soon.
