Desirable print

Just a few recent items we've produced, all on our thick uncoated card stock up to 400gsm. Rough to the touch and uncoated so the ink soaks in leaving a great colour reproduction similar to newspaper print. A fantastic tactile product. For samples drop us an email today info@inkysolutions.com 

Dry rub transfers

As I mentioned in my previous news feed, we recently started working with creative agency The Church of London, responsible for publishing Huck and Little White lies magazines amongst other things, The church of London have always been keen to use tactile and interesting print in their publications. We just supplied these Letraset style dry rub transfers for the Huck magazine's yearly subscription's so if your going to subscribe this month look out for them...

Creative print management

We love print! anything and everything printed, from leaflets to brochures and all in between. But what we really get a kick out of is creative print! It's why we decided awhile back to actively attract those clients and creative agencies who's print projects and marketing campaigns are interesting. We think it's what makes print desirable and exciting! 

Printing adds not just the visual for your design but also has the added bonus of touch, even the smell of the ink can add a lasting memory to your design. Something a flickering screen can only dream of achieving. ( at least until some genius creates an app that makes the screen feel and smell like print)

Its not always straight forward though, great print projects can be time consuming, problematic, difficult and sometimes impossible! but we love it. 

Creative print management is one of our core specialities and we are always looking out for more "Champions of old media" contact us today and lets see if your idea can be printed? 

We just produced these rather nice concertina folded cards for imeus.  The fantastic Head to Toe expo is currently showing at the Unlimited editions gallery in Brighton until the 17th November. It's well worth a visit!

We recently started working for Creative agency The Church of London and have some great projects for Huck Magazine in the pipe line, more on that next time!

here are some printed postcards of fantastic images for their Anywhere Road event. Thick uncoated and high quality.

Stationery

Autumn tends to be a busy time of year in the printing industry, with many companies representing themselves at expos and also mailing out their new marketing campaigns. 
So its no surprise to hear we've been busy too! we have printed lots of great marketing material recently, coupled with online marketing, print really still is a top marketing tool, when used with great design and tactile papers and card, print really does leave your potential clients with a great lasting impression. 

Talking of tactile stocks we produced this lovely stationery set for London 
PR company BACALL Associates Letterheads, Compliment slips and Business cards all printed on an uncoated stock with the cards on a 400gsm thick card.
All design and branding was created by A space for something  and look fantastic.

Print and Propaganda

The power of print has been used as a political tool from prints early beginning's. The ability to reach audiences and target the masses has been a perfect tool for various political reasons over the years. The first printed book Gutenberg's Bible below is a great example. 

During the first and second World Wars, print was used for Propaganda reasons too. Famously printed posters were used of striking images used by  The Soviet Union  see below,  the images where used as a way to rally the people.

During D Day thousands of fliers were dropped over France by allied forces as a call to arms for the french resistance. Fliers where also dropped over towns and villages to warn the residents to seek shelter from the pending air strikes.

Its all about the Athletics

GB Athletes have been enjoying a great haul at the London Olympics, and GB Athletics on the whole has reason to be optimistic for the future of their sport. 

Brighton Phoenix a great athletics club have been helping shape athletes for the future for all levels of ability and they have produced a fair few team GB athletes in their time too. None more famous than former Brighton Phoenix founder Steve Ovett who just happened to pop into our Annexe studios last week, what a treat that was, a personal hero of mine!! 

We have just produced these fantastic mat laminated welcome packs for the club.
With the popularity of the sport hitting a high, and athletics being a great way of keeping fit, why not join Brighton Phoenix as they cater for all abilities and ages.
