We still use contact sheets.

There’s something about seeing a whole set of photographs together that makes choosing so much easier. You can compare similar shots at a glance and, quite often, the one that works best suddenly becomes obvious.

Nothing particularly clever – just a really useful way of working.

There’s more to choosing paper than colour and texture.

Sometimes we need to get down to fractions of a millimetre. Paper thickness can make all the difference to how a job prints, folds or finishes – so yes, we really do get the calipers out!

Choosing materials from a screen is never quite the same as seeing them in person.

Colours can shift, texture is difficult to appreciate and there is simply no way to judge the weight and feel of a material.

That is why we often work with physical samples before anything is committed to production. It gives us the opportunity to compare different options properly and see how papers, coverings and finishes work alongside one another.

And quite often, once the samples are placed side by side, the right choice becomes surprisingly obvious.

It might still be summer, but Christmas has already made an appearance in the studio!

We recently finished this lovely set of illustrated Christmas cards for Anna Shuttlewood Artist , taking them from the supplied artwork through layout and printing, then trimming, folding and packing the finished cards ready for collection.

They’ve now left the studio, but I took plenty of photographs along the way — one of the advantages of having a photographer lurking around the print room!

Working in print does rather mess with the seasons. Christmas starts early around here, and I suspect this won’t be the last of it we see over the next few months.

Tinker has found herself a new office bed.

Yes, it’s a cardboard box. But when you work in a print studio surrounded by boxes, it seems rather wasteful not to put one to good use!

From here she can keep an eye on what’s going on, spring into action when a visitor arrives and, most importantly, make sure she doesn’t miss anyone who might have treats.

In between all that, she’s quite happy to settle into her box and take things easy

I think she’s got the work/life balance about right!

We finally made it along to the Nova Art Guild exhibition at Langford Lakes yesterday — cutting it rather fine, as it was the very last day!

It was wonderful to see such a varied collection of work, including the fabulous photography of Scarlet Leatham and Art Of David Walker the vibrant landscape paintings of Tamsyn Gregory the beautiful bird and floral paintings of Lindsay Keir and Geraldine McLoughlin’s striking kiln-fired glass sculptures.

We enjoyed chatting with David and Geraldine before heading to the Kingfisher Café for the obligatory café treats, followed by a peaceful walk around the lakes.

And, rather fittingly, we even caught sight of a kingfisher in flight. A very lovely way to spend the afternoon.

This is where digital files become physical prints.

Our print room is one of the quieter corners of the studio — where carefully managed colour, beautiful papers and craftsmanship come together.

What leaves this room might be destined for an exhibition, a book, a gallery wall or someone’s home.

Wherever it’s going, we never take that responsibility lightly.

If you've ever heard someone mention a Pantone colour, this is what they're talking about.

A Pantone colour is a standardised reference, giving designers, printers and manufacturers a common language for colour.

Instead of saying "a bright red", they can specify one exact shade.

Whether it's printed in Salisbury or Sydney, everyone is aiming for the same colour.

It's one of the ways consistency is achieved across branding, packaging and print.

Not every exhibition hangs on a gallery wall.

When people think about exhibitions, it's easy to picture paintings and photographs.

But exhibitions take many forms.

This large-format display panel is one of several we've recently produced for a client exhibiting at a country fair. With more summer events still to come, the printer has certainly been keeping busy.

Whether it's a fine art print, an exhibition panel, a banner or display graphics, the aim is always the same.

To present information clearly, professionally and in a way that's a pleasure to look at.

Some printed work is designed to be admired.

Some is designed to inform.

The most successful displays do both.
