Marc the Printers

Marc the Printers located in Manchester.

1. The Out-and-Out "Green" process - The Risograph Printer 


We have 2 versions The Spot Colour Risograph - 
The Full Colour Risograph - click here for more details Both machines are about as "green" as printing gets - no solvents, no toner, cold process. Very good value for short and medium runs. Both machines print on recycled paper and card Charities and community groups can even come in and use the Spot Colour Risograph for DIY Printing - and that is even more economical.


2. Well, not quite that "Green", but….. 

 If you need near photographic full colour, or very fine detail that just won't print with the veggie inks, we have digital laser printers that will do the job. Whilst not as eco-friendly as the Risograph, laser printers create little waste, do not require solvents or wash-downs, and do not produce those nasty smells associated with some colour printing processes. click here for more details All our laser printers can be used to print on recycled paper and cards. (Sorry, but there is no DIY available for this type of printing.)

b8- Formats and compositions

Looking particularly at what is out there on newsprint for my latest brief. Something to consider when printing is the amount of block colours used as newsprint is prone for inks bleeding. 1 or 2 colours work best in most compositions.





Quite a fan of the heading type especially the Q and the C characters.

Morey Talmor

Morey Talmor is a graphic designer from Tel Aviv, Israell, currently living in Brooklyn, New York. Excavation is graphic identity project for an archaeology museum. It is inspired by primitive symbolism, ancient Greek art and art deco and is meant to showcase the eclectic nature of the museum’s exhibits. Each exhibition category is coded with its own colour and symbol that are used throughout the identity. I am a particular fan of the custom typeface he created for the project, with echoes the symbols and patterns often found in ancient artefacts and art.
