Make sure you read and understand our terms.
It is your responsibility to read the legal terms on our Website carefully and to raise any problems with us before you place your Order. That includes these Conditions, our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.

We output black & white plots on top of the range Oce TDS 800’s, and colour plots on Oce Colorwave’s, they are the most expensive machines for a reason, offering the very best line quality and resolution available by far.
Multiple paper copy sets can be automatically folded and collated by our equipment if required.
If you have scanned Tiff images we recommend they are at least 400dpi, although 200dpi will give a reasonable result, it will not produce as crisp a plot compared to 400-600dpi.

It is your responsibility to read the legal terms on our Website carefully and to raise any problems with us before you place your Order. That includes these Conditions, our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.
