Printing Processes

• Engraved: Piccolo has the only diestamping presses within Scotland and is one of only a VERY few printers in the UK, with the skills to produce engraved stationery and invitations. (Click to see how it's done.)
• Thermography: Our thermographic (heat raised) printing uses special matt powders, producing a raised image remarkably similar to that achieved by the engraved process. Please note that the thermographic process does tend to curl paper and cards just a little. This is due to the heat process taking moisture from the paper when the printing is done. Thermographed stocks will normally flatten out once subjected to the outside air but a small amount of curl may on occasions, remain.
• Lithographic: Our flat printing is mostly done by lithography.
• Letterpress: Letterpress printing from hand set type and blocks, produces a crisp and dense image with a slight indent that has a stunning tactile quality.
