A new environmental initiative from HP – Recycled Satin Canvas

| Comments (0) | Apr 11, 2019

In a bold move to turn trash into art, HP is introducing HP Recycled Satin Canvas, a new printable canvas made from 100% recycled water bottles. And given that between five and 13 million tons of plastic is being dumped in our oceans every year, and that 91% of plastic waste isn’t recycled, it’s not a moment too soon! HP believes that we all have the power to make a difference through our everyday actions and choices – but we need to act now.

As Drytac materials continue to conquer the print market, more and more printer manufacturers are putting their trust in Drytac products to showcase the optimal quality of their printers. If you find yourself watching an Epson, Mimaki, Ricoh or Roland DG print demo, the chances are you’ll be seeing Drytac as the substrate. With such a vote of confidence for the products, Perfect Colours is delighted to carry the full range.

Our first Perfect Colours Sign Show success!

| Comments (0) | Mar 27, 2019

A few months ago, we came up with a bold idea – we would hold our own Sign Show in the recently-opened Perfect Colours Innovation Centre in Sheffield. It was a new departure for us, very much a step into the unknown! We planned carefully and spread the word. Fast forward to last week and our vision materialised – from Monday to Thursday, we opened our doors. The showroom was packed and over the course of four days we did more than 40 demonstrations on a wide variety of printers, showing how workflow automation could benefit new and existing customers alike.

The evolution of colour printing

From the cave paintings of prehistoric Europe to scribing on parchment in Ancient Greece, the process of reproducing text and imagery through printing itself can be dated back earlier than 3000 BC.

As for modern colour printing, the first successful job took place over 40 years ago. Thanks to advancements in printer technology, colour printing is now more sophisticated than ever before.

In this blog, we take a look back over colour printing history, how this medium has evolved and developed over time and explore how we’ve got to the sophistication and impressive quality we see today.
