Printer Wanted for UK Letterpress Job

[Greville]

I am looking for a printer to produce some letterpress work for me.

They are a set of 6 half-tone images that I require printing with black ink on white paper.

The images measure 550 X 380mm and I am able to supply the plates.

I require 48 prints off each plate plus proofs.

I am based in Catterick, North Yorkshire, UK, and have a November deadline.

Please contact me by email if you have the facilities to produce this work.

grev-AT-saintpaulinus.co.uk (replace -AT- with @)

Thanks
Greville Worthington

You will need a printer who has either a large cylinder press (Heidleberg or similar) or a large proofing press, maybe a Western, as the half tones are quite large a platen type machine wil not be powerful enough to either ink sufficiently or produce a good print quality.

I have met  but not visited  Glasgow Press www.glasgowpress.co.uk and they are letterpress, with, I think, a large enough machine. You could enquire with them, as they do work on the 'commercial' end of the scale, so might have experience with halftones.

Thanks John.

Hope Greville sees the post.
