100% of the waste generated in our entire printing process is recycled.

Very occasionally we receive supplies in packaging that cannot be recycled but our suppliers are being encouraged to “clean up their act” and we estimate that some 95% of all our waste is able to be recycled.

Even our premises have been converted from redundant water tanks and represent the ultimate in recycling!

Origination Costs

We make a small (subsidised) one-off charge for converting your chart, matching the wool colours and providing a proof.

We recommend DP Software’s excellent Cross Stitch Professional charting software. Digital artwork supplied in this format will reduce the proofing charges.

We are able to work cross platform and can accept digital artwork from Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Corel and many other formats. For further advice or information on acceptable artworks email your details.

All jobs are proofed prior to production commencing. With many customers now designing on their PC, this proof is often the first opportunity to see the design "in the flesh". The proof is fully printed onto the canvas required and is guaranteed to be exactly the same as the production print. Layout and colour matches can be viewed prior to production and any changes can be made at this point.

Lead Times

On approval of a proof, a print run will normally be delivered within two weeks. We have managed to deliver some urgent orders within 24 hours (much to the astonishment of the customers!).

Accuracy

Because the printing system is digital, the finished print will exactly match the accuracy of the chart. For the first time, geometric designs such as kilims and bargello can be printed with no loss of quality.

Colours can be matched to any wool/thread range and submitted for approval.

Some Customers prefer a slightly rounded print, more closely following the effect of hand-drawn artwork. This too, can be achieved if requested.

Prices

All prices are based on canvas and design size. The number of colours to be printed has no bearing on the price. This enables designers to produce more complex images without fear of pricing the final product out of the market.

Minimum Orders

There is no minimum print order.
We do require a minimum spend but designs can be grouped together to achieve this. Contact Simon Deighton for details.
