London printer, Gavin Martin Colournet have moved from their East London home in Hackney, south of the river to new premises in Woolwich. Although I just described them as 'new' the printworks is actually in a refurbished Victorian works, which I believe formed part of the old Royal Dockyard in Woolwich. It is a lovely building with period features, so I made a visit to see for myself...
The new pressroom looks great and they've decorated their Heidelberg XL102 printing press with some very lively graphics. Below is a picture of Gary Bird, modelling the new press...Period features have been lovingly maintained in the refurbishment of the building.
Their 'Printlounge' customer suite has been safely installed and their HP Indigo digital press has much more space than at their previous premises.
A positive move and great to see a London printer staying in London rather than moving out of town.
