Equipment

Over the last 25 years First Colour have invested heavily into the very best printing machinery available to give us, and you the customer, great quality and flexibility. All of our equipment has been acquired to add and improve upon our market leading fast turnarounds yet still maintain superior quality.   

But the equipment is meaningless without the expertise of our knowledgeable production team who work closely with our clients to make sure they receive the full benefits and advantages of our facilities. Quite simply we utilise the most advanced and current technology in our industry. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to provide our clients with high-quality products faster and less-expensively than our competition.

It has to be said that most of our clients have zero interest in the printing equipment we use, they are more focused, quite correctly, on the end product, the service levels and of course the price. However, and for those that need to know, the below equipment specification for a printer in the heart of W1, is actually quite extra-ordinary.
