What print bureaux need
A bureau or reprographics department has to say yes to almost anything: drawing sets for an architect in the morning, a run of posters at lunchtime, a canvas reproduction for a gallery by the end of the day. That means keeping a sensible range of media on the shelf, knowing it will run reliably on your machines, and being able to get something unusual in quickly. It also means finishing work in-house so it does not leave the building half done.
Wide format media
Our digital media range covers most production jobs:
- HP original CAD paper and Pluss CAD paper (uncoated 90gsm, MIDCOL 90 light-coated and Premium Coated CAD 90).
- HP graphics papers, films and specialities.
- Pluss branded graphics films, papers and specialities.
- The full graphic arts range from Rauch GmbH, including Rauch PMC 230, a 230gsm double-side PE-coated satin photo paper for dye inks, in 24, 36, 40, 54 and 60″ widths on 30m and 60m rolls.
- Phototex paste-free digital wallpaper and PremierArt fine art papers and canvas (Pluss is one of two UK distributors).
See the wide format media guide and paper weight explainer.
Small format and digital press
For toner and digital press work we supply plain paper copier films, colour copier films approved by leading OEMs, Indigo films approved by The Digital Academy, and laser films.
Inks
We carry a range of OEM inks. Call the team with your printer models for details.
Finishing in-house
Marabu liquid lamination, for which Pluss holds exclusive UK and mainland Europe distribution, protects canvas, vinyl, wallpaper and banners with less waste than film. ClearShield offers UV inhibitors and exterior durability in matt, satin, semi-gloss and gloss, while ClearJet is formulated for water-based and water-sensitive inks. See applying liquid laminate.
For mounting and encapsulating, the Xyron 2500 works from rolls at A1, edge to edge, on media up to 4mm thick, and is compatible with laser, inkjet, colour and thermal prints. Customers who need to coat labels at volume should look at Rollataq high production labelling, which replaces pressure-sensitive stock, sprays and gluers with plain paper labels.
Storage
Media held in stock performs best when kept in a stable environment, off the floor and in original packaging. Our guide to storing media explains more.
