Digital printing for shorter runs and fast turnarounds

Digital printing sends your artwork directly from the file to the press, with no printing plates to make or lengthy setup required. That keeps setup costs down and makes digital printing particularly economical for shorter runs, while also allowing us to turn work around quickly. For straightforward jobs, next-day turnaround may be possible.

Digital printing is often the right choice when you need something quickly, only require a smaller quantity, or simply don’t need enough copies to make lithographic printing cost-effective. That flexibility is exactly what our digital presses are there for.

Our digital presses can handle anything from a single proof copy to several hundred, on stocks ranging from standard papers to heavier boards and at sheet lengths up to 1200mm. That extra capacity gives you more flexibility over formats and opens possibilities that aren’t available on many standard digital presses.

We can also print variable data, allowing names, addresses, numbers or other information to change from one copy to the next within the same run. It’s ideal for personalised mailings, numbered certificates and event materials where every recipient needs something different.

And speed doesn’t mean compromising on quality. Our digital presses are colour-managed and calibrated, with work produced and checked in-house in Cambridge. Whether it’s one proof or five hundred brochures, the same attention is given to colour, accuracy and finish. We also keep your job specifications on file, helping repeat orders remain consistent from one run to the next.

Banners, posters and display graphics for when your message needs to be seen at scale. Ideal for exhibitions, events, retail displays and signage, our large-format printing gives you bold, professional graphics while keeping everything as part of the same Langham Press service.

Digital printing produces your job directly from a digital file, without the printing plates used in litho printing. Your artwork is sent to the press, which applies toner directly to the sheet, reducing setup time and making shorter print runs economical.

That’s why digital printing works particularly well for smaller quantities and fast deadlines. With no plates to produce, even a handful of copies can be practical, and straightforward jobs can often be turned around very quickly. Digital also allows every sheet to be different, making it ideal for personalised print where names, addresses, numbers or other information change from copy to copy.

Digital printing covers most everyday business print, including leaflets, brochures, reports, booklets, business cards, posters and personalised mailings, on everything from standard papers to heavier boards.

Litho printing uses printing plates to transfer ink onto paper and is particularly suited to larger print runs, offering excellent colour consistency, sharp detail and a wide choice of papers and finishes. Digital printing prints directly from a digital file without the need for printing plates, making it ideal for shorter runs, fast turnaround, personalised printing and projects where quantities or content may vary.

For shorter runs, digital printing is usually the more economical option. With no printing plates to produce and less setup required, smaller quantities can be printed cost-effectively without the upfront production costs associated with litho printing.

As quantities increase, however, litho can become more economical. It costs more to set up, but the cost per copy falls as the print run gets larger. The point at which litho becomes the better-value option depends on the size, quantity, paper, colours and finishing involved.

Tell us what you need and how many, and if your job sits near the crossover point, we’ll compare both methods. We’ll recommend the process that makes the most sense for your job and your budget — not simply the one that’s easiest for us.

Digital printing is ideal for short runs, with quantities starting from just a few copies and typically remaining cost-effective into the hundreds. Litho-printing is better suited to larger quantities, generally becoming more economical from around 500–1,000 copies upwards. We can help you make that choice.

Quickly. Send us the details of your job and we’ll usually get a quote back to you the same working day. If you know the quantity, finished size, paper and finishing you need, include those too — but if you’re not sure, that’s fine. Tell us what you’re trying to produce and we’ll help you work out the best specification.

For all jobs we provide a pdf proof so you can check that everything looks right before we print the job. A printed proof for you to check can be built into the estimate so you just have to ask when you request your quote.

Straight-forward. You tell us your requirements and we send a quote. Once you are happy you send us your artwork, we then provide a pdf proof for sign-off. We then print, finish and despatch your job.

Very. Sustainability is something we genuinely care about. We are FSC® certified and have many eco-friendly processes and work hard to reduce waste across the business. If green credentials matter to you then we are a printer you can feel good about using.
