Lead Time

Due to the essential washdown procedures required to maintain print quality and prevent issues such as clogged printheads on our HP Indigo Digital Press, we batch multiple orders with Spot White Ink together to keep maintenance to a minimum. However, we understand some jobs may be urgent, so we offer an express service that covers the maintenance charge if needed.

CMYK only - Standard 3-4

Jobs printed CMYK only, without the addition of white ink, will be subject to our standard 3-4 working day lead time.

White Ink - Standard 7-14

“Patience is a virtue” Opt for the economical standard service to benefit from our lowest price - we pass the savings made on maintenance back to our customers. Feel free to contact us for the current estimated lead times on our standard service. Depending on the workflow, you may time it right and receive your order sooner than expected.

Need your cards ASAP? Opt for the express service for an additional £30 to cover machine maintenance washdown procedures, and we'll aim to dispatch within 48 hours of receipt of order.

HP Indigo Spot White Ink

HP Indigo presses use white ink primarily to enhance colour vibrancy and create stunning visual effects on a variety of substrates, especially when printing on coloured or dark materials. White ink acts as an undercoat, similar to a primer, allowing colours to stand out more vividly and preventing them from being muted by the background colour. It also enables unique design possibilities with materials that have reflective or holographic properties. White ink is also used for various speciality applications, such as printing on clear substrates, creating textured effects, and producing high-contrast black-and-white designs.

Artwork requirements

Please supply press-ready artwork, ideally in PDF format, set CMYK with 3mm of bleed on all edges and offset crop marks applied. Please include an outline of your bespoke shape on a separate page and a composite visual with the outline overlaid in position, bearing in mind the shape will need to be flipped so it mirrors the opposite side. If including a hole for string/ribbon application in your CAD design, we advise a minimum 6mm hole radius set with the furthest point a minimum of 5mm from the closest edge.

Where possible, please ensure artwork is centred without colour bars or file information applied; these are not required and often result in files being positioned incorrectly when using our imposition software.

Please note that due to cutting tolerances, we advise that all elements of your design which aren’t intended to bleed off should be set a minimum of 5mm from all edges to avoid cutting issues.

Need help with your artwork? No problem, our studio team are on standby to help with amending existing artwork or even produce full designs based on a standard rate for studio time. Send us your enquiry orders@apprint.co.uk

White Ink setup requirements

Please supply your white ink setup as a separate page/file, with all elements of the design that require white ink positioned in solid magenta only (C0/M100/Y0/K0). Add any instructions to the notes section on your order. Not sure? Give us a shout, we’re happy to help!

File copies

Our many trade customers trust us to deliver direct to their clients under plain wrap as standard practice. However, it’s sometimes beneficial to receive file copies for their records as future reference. File copies will be sent via Royal Mail First Class service to the invoice address by default, following the dispatch of the order to the chosen delivery address.
