🎉 Happy Birthday Jacqueline! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Jacqueline O’Shea, one of the directors here at Chapel Press and the person behind much of the voice you see across our social media.

Jacqueline does a fantastic job sharing the story of what we do – from showcasing our latest print projects to highlighting the people, partnerships and craftsmanship that make Chapel Press what it is.

Her creativity, enthusiasm and dedication to the business never go unnoticed, and we’re very grateful for everything she does both behind the scenes and in the spotlight.

From everyone at Chapel Press – have a wonderful birthday Jacqueline! 🎂

📚 Happy World Book Day from all of us at Chapel Press!

Over the past year, we’ve had the pleasure of producing more hardback books than ever before — and it’s been fantastic to see the continued love for beautifully printed books.

In a world dominated by screens, there’s still something truly special about switching off digitally and opening a physical book. The feel of the paper, the quality of the print, and the craftsmanship behind every page all make the experience timeless.

If you’re planning a book project and would like to explore the possibilities of print, we’d love to help bring your ideas to life. DM / 0161 406 9495 / [email protected]

Happy Birthday to our wonderful Account Manager and fountain of all print knowledge, Diane! 🎉

If there’s ever a question about paper, print, finishes, or production… Diane almost always has the answer (and if she doesn’t, she’ll find it!).

Her experience and knowledge are such a huge asset to the Chapel Press team and our clients, and we’re incredibly lucky to have her as part of the team.

Wishing you a fantastic birthday, Diane, and a weekend full of celebrating! 🎂🥳

Not just operators… 🎩🎩🎩

This is Alan on our Müller Martini stitching line – but calling him just an operator doesn’t even come close.

Alan has been part of Chapel Press for over 40 years. Yes, he’s our Production Manager. But on any given day he’s also a motivator, problem-solver, machine operator, digital lead, mentor, and the calm head when things get busy.

At Chapel Press, getting the job done isn’t about job titles – it’s about people stepping up, wearing multiple hats, and taking real pride in what they do. Management and operators alike. It’s what all of our “operators” do… it’s what we all do. And Alan embodies that more than anyone.

Experience. Commitment. Teamwork.
That’s how great print gets made.

If you’re looking for a print partner who genuinely cares about every stage of the process, we’d love to talk.

Ever held a beautifully printed piece and wondered what makes it look so sharp, so vibrant, so precise?

Lithographic printing is over 225 years old — and it’s still powering world-class print today.

Invented in 1796 by Alois Senefelder, lithography was built on one simple, brilliant principle: oil and water don’t mix. That chemistry changed print forever — and remarkably, the core science hasn’t changed since.

⚡ A lightning-fast timeline

• 1796 – Greasy crayon on limestone
• Early 1800s – Music and maps demand precision
• 1818 – Lithography goes public
• 1837 – Colour enters the game
• Late 1800s – Offset lithography is born
• 20th century – Litho dominates print

Fast-forward to today.

At Chapel, that same 18th-century principle runs through our 10-colour Heidelberg XL75 perfector — just with aluminium plates, micron-level control, automated colour management, and serious speed.

Ink. Water. Balance.
Same science. Very different horsepower.

Old tech? No — timeless engineering, refined for today.

So tell us — did you realise the technology behind modern print has been evolving for over two centuries?

Love Paper Week đź’› | From the press room

✔️ Dave: Fedrigoni Stucco Tintoretto Gesso — textured, warm, and beautifully tactile.
✔️ Theo: Essential Offset — dependable, sharp, and perfect for precision printing.
✔️ Diane: Olin — versatile, elegant, and full of subtle personality.

Different preferences, one shared view:
exceptional print begins with exceptional paper.

Are you confident your print always matches your brand colours, every single time?

At Chapel Press, quality is never an accident.

We’ve invested in ECO3 (Agfa) PressTune software to put expert colour control right at our fingertips.

That means tighter consistency, smarter calibration, and industry-leading accuracy across every job.

Just as importantly, our team has completed hands-on staff training (pictured 📸), ensuring the highest possible ISO colour control is achieved in-house, every day.

Because using the best brands — and backing them with expert people — is how exceptional print is made, and how your work stays on brand, consistently.

What does great teamwork really look like behind the scenes?

Big projects succeed when people pull together around a shared goal.

At Chapel Press, it’s the combination of different skills, clear communication, and genuine support that turns complex work into consistently strong results — especially when deadlines are tight and the detail matters.

We’re proud of a team that collaborates, shows up for one another, and delivers when it counts. That’s how great work gets done.
