Visiting Professional: Evolution Print

This morning, we had Evolution Print visit us. Evolution Print is one of the premier printing houses in the region, formed from the merger of Evolution and Slater Print. The company is headed by Jonathan Newbould and Graham Congreve and employs 38 people. Their clients come in all shapes and sizes as do the jobs they do for them - whether it be a simple short run requirement, a complex printed design or a large-scale multi layered project.

They are commerical prints work with litho printers which work well for high volum print using Aluminium Plates (CMYK) using vegetable based inks. Paper - Gloss, Silk, Matt and Uncoated. 

Things they told us designers/clients get wrong: 

• Bleeds needs to be 3mm
• Business Cards and Spreads need to be single (they do all the pagination themselves) 
• They need a PDF and an original format 
• You can't get a sharp finish on uncoated paper
• Image size 300GPI

Below are examples of their print work they brought in:
