Colour Calibrated Proofs http://www.fivecastles.co.uk/news.php?d=5
Over the last month our printers, pre-press studio, a designer for art galleries and colour expert from Fuji have been working tirelessly to improve our colour reproduction. We’ve spent several days running colour tests from our new processless Fuji PRO-T plates and scrutinising the results. We’re delighted that the outcome shows our colour reproduction from proofing to press is more accurate than ever.

Charity Press Ball http://www.fivecastles.co.uk/news.php?d=4

The Five Castles Press is once again pleased to be associated with the Ipswich Press Ball.

The annual fundraiser, organised by The Evening Star, celebrated its 15th anniversary, and this year supported the Cystic Fibrosis Trust as well as new mayor of Ipswich, John Le Grys’ chosen cause.

The evening consisted of a four course meal, a charity auction with prizes including holidays, theatre trips, a diamond bracelet and an acrobatic aeroplane flight! Queen tribute band ‘Queen B’ finished off the night’s entertainment which raised almost £20,000 for chairty.
