Lithographic Printing
With over three decades of print experience in the South East we are ideally suited to handling your print work competently and efficiently.
Our high-specification Komori 5 and 6 colour litho offset B1 and B2 presses enable us to print a wide variety of high quality work from brochures to magazines, fine art books to annual reports or a wide range of marketing material for both large and small companies. Our 24 hour working and total flexibility allows us to handle short or long runs. All presses are colour-profiled to ensure consistency and colour controlled by dedicated spectrophotometry to house or customer-specific profiles.
Creo Lotem CTP, driven from Apogee X workstations in pre-press, ensures total accuracy and perfect plates every time. This technology helps to reduce customer costs through quicker press make-ready times and reduced paper usage. Our presses have digital back-up and storage facilities so that all future reprints are produced with the same profiles to maintain cross-machine colour consistency.
Digital Printing
We are proud to stay at the forefront of printing trends and as a result have invested in a Xerox IGen4 digital press.
This is ideal for providing digital print solutions for smaller, bespoke runs and items requiring personalisation (variable data), or a select or test run of a publication.

Environmentally Friendly Printing
In addition to using vegetable based inks and processless plates, Manor Creative are both FSC and PEFC certified. Having dual certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC) means we can now demonstrate chain of custody (CoC) to our clients and most importantly your end users.
When producing a certified job we are able to secure the appropriate on your behalf enabling you to illustrate your commitment to the environment and well-managed forests.

Repro
We check the file integrity and pre-flight check all files to ensure fonts and images are supplied correctly for printing.
Proofs are provided for your visual approval which can be sent electronically via PDF, printed digitally or you can opt for a machine proof for the most accurate representation of your finished product.
Finishing
The majority of finishing processes are handled in house. Some specialist processes such as gold-blocking or embossing are outsourced to a preferred list of trusted contractors who can ensure the correct level of attention is given to your print project.
Mailing Services
We offer a mailing service for your complete peace of mind. This can be via pre-printed address labels or electronic data. There are many options for mailing, from 1st class post to mail-sort options, carrier sheets and polybags / polywraps - we partner a number of larger mailing houses who can also manage your data.
