Digital Printing at Indent
Digital Printing is printing directly from computer files on laser-technology print machinery.
Digital printing equipment uses different processes to apply the ink to the paper, depending on its requirements. Our machine is an award-winning Konica Minolta bizhub C450, which uses electrostatic charges to transfer the pigment to the paper, which is then heated to 'fuse' the two together. This machine is
also a colour photocopier.
This is ideally suited to short-run colour or black and white work.
Short-run can be any number of copies up to 1,000, above which conventional litho printing is likely to be more economical. The strength of digital printing is that very few copies can be produced at a relatively low cost.
We can produce booklets, leaflets, business stationery, posters, flyers, greetings cards and brochures - all in full colour. If you require quantities over and above those economical for digital printing we can arrange to have your work printed by a good local litho printing company.
All work can be finished in the usual ways - trimming, folding, creasing, laminating, stapling or binding.
Please see our Prices page for current digital printing prices.

VAT on Printing
Different rates of VAT apply to printing, depending on the nature of the job.
The general rule is that if your job is to be read once and then thrown away or stored, it will be zero-rated. If it serves a purpose beyond its initial 'read', then VAT is charged at the current rate.
For example: handbills and flyers are zero-rated because once read, they are thrown away, whereas posters are VAT chargeable because they are posted on a board or in a window before being read. Novels are zero-rated because once read they are stored away, whereas diaries are VAT chargeable because they are written in at a later date. Forms are chargeable because they too are written on, although below a certain area percentage they may be zero-rated.
