Introducing - Mark, our new Production Manager!

Mark has enjoyed a career in print of over 25 years, having started on a three year apprenticeship at Reading College. He modestly states that he was Student of the Year in 1988.

Mark worked in a number of local printing businesses before joining Whitehorse Press, where he worked for the last 15 years.

Managing Director Andrew Watts said “We are delighted to have Mark join us and to add his extensive knowledge and experience to our existing talented team of printers and finishers.”

Mark lives locally in Baughurst and is a father of four. His CV states that he will take on most challenges which in the past have included scuba diving, martial arts and parachuting.

Digital printing

If you want something printed quickly and cost effectively but still giving you an excellent result, digital printing is the solution.

Digital printing uses the latest technology – in simple terms it is like a giant photocopier: a toner-based substance fuses with the heat on a sheet of paper and hey presto, we’re printing.

It is perfect for short print runs – anything from one to 10,000 copies is fairly typical.

And repeat printing is quick and easy. For example, why pay for the printing and storage of thousands of leaflets, when it is simple and cost effective to reprint each time you need them?

Or if you have data that varies regularly – for example, delegates on a course – digital printing gives you a quick but personalised service.

Need a business card really fast? Done digitally, you might even be able to have it the same day.

Need something much, much bigger? Posters, billboards, banners, pop ups – however and wherever you want to get your message across loudly, our digital printing can do that for you. And quickly, of course.

We can offer any type of paper you want – silk, gloss or ivory bound – at the weight suited to the job: and the paper we use is either FSC® or PEFC approved, which means it is cost effective and environmentally conscious at the same time.

And our finishing is second to none: from trimming and laminating to punching and drilling, from scoring and folding to stapling or spiral binding, from collating and numbering to padding and shrink wrapping.

Want to know more? Give us a ring or, even better, call in and have a chat with one of our Account Managers about the service we can offer you. And while you’re here, let our digital printing experts, John and Nathan, show you their equipment ... that’s their Konica Minolta Bizhub PRO C6501 digital press. Whatever turns you on ...
