Pressision Process Codes

‍Each Pressision process has its own unique reference code, creating a simple common language between inspiration, design and production.

Use the codes alongside our physical process swatches to explore techniques, understand what’s possible and reference the processes you want to use within your project.

Our physical process swatches are currently in production and will be available to order soon via the website.

Lithographic Printing

Our Komori Lithrone delivers premium colour, high speed and beautiful consistency on creative papers and boards. Pair it with our stochastic screening for exceptional detail.

Why Lithographic Printing matters

Production pace - Rapid makereadies, stable long runs, sharp register.
H-UV / LED curing - Clean stacks, instant handling, superb results on a wide media range.
Built for brand work - In-line colour/registration control and inspection.
B2 versatility - Efficient impositions for covers, brochures and cartons.

Creative Lithographic Printing

Inline quality control (colour, register, defect detection).
Stochastic screening for silk-smooth gradients and micro-detail.
Instant-cure workflows that move straight to foiling, embossing, laminating or die-cutting.

Special inks (spot & effects)

Pantone® spots for brand-true solids.
Metallics (gold/silver and extended metallic palette).
Fluorescents for high-visibility accents.
Photochromic and thermochromic for reveal effects.
Invisible UV (security/validation).
Pearlescent/interference for subtle iridescence.

Creative finishing

Luxury covers and sleeves with spot/metallic accents and tactile finishes.
Cartons and sleeves in B2 for agile launches and seasonal editions.
Art/catalogue work with photographic finesse and precise type.

Substrates - Creative papers and boards, including heavier calipers for packaging.

Design tips

Spots - Supply Pantone swatches, we’ll advise coated/uncoated references.
Metallics - Best on smooth coated stocks, avoid hairline text in heavy metallic areas.
Stochastic - Send high-res imagery, avoid over-sharpening.

Colour you can trust

Closed-loop spectro and inline inspection maintain ISO/G7 targets throughout the run.

Sustainability‍

H-UV/LED workflows are engineered for efficiency with instant on/off and reduced waste. We’ll advise stocks/finishes to meet recyclability targets.
