Greystones Printing

today’s jobs 4th February

The cynical might think that the only print jobs undertaken by Greystones are the ones I write about: nothing can be further from the truth! Much of the day - to - day work is what you might consider mundane, the bread and butter jobs. Some work is a bit out of the ordinary, and some jobs that go out are ones I am extremely proud of. One such job is the ‘Becoming a GP’ by Dr Amar Rughani, the first reprint of 2010 is keeping my laser printer busy. The job by the side of the guillotine is a pile of superb invitations, a company logo has been laser printed in blue, and the text of the invitation has been thermographed in black. Thermography is a process whereby a powder sticks to the wet ink, and then fused by a heater and conveyor system. As these invitations are printed on a 300 gsm textured card, only one sheet can be printed at a time, then dusted with powder, shaken to remove the excess, then placed on the conveyor. Meanwhile, a deft twist of the body, and I  click ‘print’ and the cycle is repeated. Lots of times!
