Printing
We were the first printer in the country to install Agfa's Azura chemical-free plate making. This eliminated the use of, and need to dispose of, chemical waste.
Sublima - Agfa's advanced screening option. Its cross-modulated (XM) screening technology is designed to dramatically improve print quality with no extra effort on press. Sublima enables the press to hold a 1-99% dot at 200dpi, so it captures the finest details - from the delicate highlights through to the colour rich shadows.
Crown use vegetable-oil based printing inks as standard.
Our press operators have years of experience in lithographic printing and ink usage so there-s not much they don’t know about the printing process. They ensure our print quality standards are kept time after time.
