			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bluepepper Designs was founded by Lorraine Evans and Mark Rutland over 20 years ago. We are an independent design and print company, based in Aylesbury town centre, and cater for individual customers, as well as large and small businesses.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-153"></span>We specialise in designing and printing stationery, flyers, advertising leaflets and brochures &#8211; the essential items that you need to run your business and generate awareness.</p>
<p>For new businesses, or those just looking for a change of image, we also offer a range of logo design and branding services to suit any budget.</p>
<p>We pride ourselves on our customer service. Every job is important to us whether it is a large run of brochures or a small run of business cards. We think the fact that more than half of our work comes from recommendations speaks for itself.

Although customer parking is not available we are in easy walking distance of all the town centre car parks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The first stage for any type of printing is to produce a design on the computer. We refer to this as artwork.</strong></p>
<p>Artwork can come from many sources &#8211; produced by us,  from scanned original pictures or customer supplied. <span id="more-10"></span>Any artwork that we  produce is kept on file should you need it in future.</p>
<p>A typical design starts by taking a brief from you and  having an informal chat about what you require. If you have any strong  views about the design let us know so we can include them early in the  process. It doesn&#8217;t matter if all you have is a rough sketch on the back  of an envelope &#8211; it is our job to turn it into the design you want.</p>
<p>When we have a clear understanding of your needs we will  be able to give you an estimate of timescale and costs. Once everything  has been agreed we will start to produce the artwork. We will show you a  proof at every stage and will only go ahead with the printing once you  are happy with the final design.</p>
<p>We are able to scan original photographs or small works  of art (provided you hold the copyright) however for larger pieces  please contact us for advice.</p>
<p>Although we are happy to accept customer artwork it has  to be in a suitable format for a professional printing system, so please  contact us as early as possible to check whether your software is able  to produce suitable files.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lithographic printing or &#8216;litho&#8217; uses a traditional printing press which allows for a wide range of paper stocks and finishes. It is ideal for larger quantities.</strong><span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>Setting up a large printing press is an involved process which makes litho printing costly for small quantities. Typically we wouldn&#8217;t recommend litho printing as a cost-effective option for fewer than 250 sheets of paper.</p>
<p>Where litho has a clear advantage &#8211; even for small quantities &#8211; is in the range of paper and card stocks available. For example we usually recommend litho printing where a gloss stock or heavy card is required.</p>
<p>For single colour printing in large quantities, such as leaflets or flyers, litho printing can be extremely cost-effective. It is also widely used to print full colour designs and can be used with Pantone inks.</p>
<p>Litho also allows for special printing effects such as varnishes. A wider range of finishes are also available including gloss and matt lamination which provide a professional look and a more durable product.</p>
<p>When printed on compatible stock a litho printed page is safe to run through a laser printer, making this an ideal solution for letterheads and pre-printed forms.</p>
<p><strong>We recommend litho printing for:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Letterheads and business stationery</strong></li>
<li><strong>Business cards</strong></li>
<li><strong>Invoice pads and NCR sets</strong></li>
<li><strong>Leaflets and brochures</strong></li>
<li><strong>Folders</strong></li>
<li><strong>Promotional and marketing materials</strong></li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Digital printing is a toner-based process similar to laser printing. It is ideal for small quantities or where a fast turnaround is required. Our professional-quality digital printers produce single or full colour prints directly from a computer file.<br />
<span id="more-897"></span></p>
<p>With no costly set-up required digital printing is just as practical for one print or hundreds. This also means that digital printing can have a much faster turnaround than litho printing once the artwork is finalised.</p>
<p>Although it shares many similarities with laser printing our digital machines produce a higher quality output and are regularly calibrated to ensure that they are as colour accurate as possible. Digital prints are safe to use in an inkjet printer, however they should not be used in a laser printer &#8211; so we don&#8217;t recommend this process for letterheads or printable forms.</p>
<p>Because we print directly from a computer we are able to accept a wide range of commonly used file formats. If you are providing your own artwork, please ensure that you provide a hard copy for us to check against the final output.</p>
<p><strong>We recommend digital printing for:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Business cards</strong></li>
<li><strong>Leaflets and flyers</strong></li>
<li><strong>Newsletters</strong></li>
<li><strong>Invitations</strong></li>
<li><strong>Posters up to A3 size</strong></li>
<li><strong>Greeting cards</strong></li>
</ul>
