Digital Printing Services

Discover our range of digital printing services

We can digitally print a wide range of products with our SRA3 size cut-sheet production presses.

These are flexible, quick and far more cost-efficient than a normal printer or photocopier.

  • Posters, booklets, flyers, orders of service and more can all be printed digitally.
  • We can print on various substrates including glossy/matt/silk paper and card; envelopes and acetates.
  • Our machines print on to materials of up to 400gsm in weight.
  • Digital printing is perfect for custom products such as calendars or greetings cards.
  • It’s also ideal for mail-merges and direct mail services.

Finishing Options

We can laminate up to 850mm wide and up to 30m long.

We also offer pouch laminates at A4 (297x210mm) and A3 (420x297mm) as well as smaller sizes.

Laminating is available in gloss, matt or sticky-back finishes

We can collate documents into sets.

These can be items we’ve printed or hard copies you’ve supplied.

We can crease products like greeting cards or name cards so that they fold correctly and don’t crack at the spine.

We can perforate documents such as tickets or forms so that they can be torn cleanly.

Leaflets and other documents can be supplied folded in various ways including z-folds, gate-folds, half-folds and tri-folds.

Large and Wide Format Printing

Grab their attention with large format printing

Our ink-jet printers can create high-quality large format products.

We produce posters, banners, outdoor exhibition graphics and more.

See below for some of the items that we offer:

We can print posters up to A0 size on glossy, matt or adhesive materials.

We print 800x2000mm roller banners that are both high-impact and easy to transport.

Great for signage or presentations, our foam-board prints are supplied with gloss lamination.

Fabric prints can be a great options for poster designs that need folding for travelling or storage purposes.

We print mounted or unmounted box canvas prints in several sizes.

Architectural plans or drawings can be printed on matt paper.

We can print full-colour on acetate up to A0 size.

Binding and Dissertations

Add the finishing touch to your project

We offer a full range of binding services and also bind dissertations for students of the University of Chichester and other institutions.

Binding adds durability whilst also giving a more professional look.

Binding Covers

We offer 3 types of binding that we can use to make your work look even more professional. These include clear or translucent plastic; mock leather-grain and windowed covers.

All of our binding comes with covers included in the price.

Wire Binding

These are great for easy reading because they can be opened out flat on a surface. They’re ideal for workbooks, handbooks, music, calendars etc.

Comb Binding

Similar to wire binding but with a plastic comb at the spine. These are also great for reading and can be opened out fully. (Normally used for thicker documents).

Thermal Binding

Thermal binding is our most durable style and uses glue to secure the pages. It reads as a book, but can’t be opened as fully as a wire/comb bind. Thermal binds are ideal for formal documents.

Sustainability Commitment

Protecting the environment

The University of Chichester is committed to minimising our environmental impact and the Print and Imaging Department is no exception.

We understand the need to be environmentally friendly and actively try to reduce our effect on the planet in several different ways.

Our commitment to a sustainable print service includes:

  • Recycling all of our machine consumables through manufacturer schemes.
  • Reusing packaging wherever possible and recycling all waste paper.
  • Only purchasing from suppliers with credible environmental policies.
  • Purchasing FSC accredited papers and encouraging our customers to use sustainable materials.
  • Only printing what is necessary and reducing “overs”.

Carbon Capture Scheme

The University of Chichester is part of a carbon capture scheme for the paper used in our mfd photocopiers on both campuses.
