Building Banner

We are just putting the finishing touches to a rather long banner, which is due to be installed on the side of a building. It measures over 9 metres in length.

Pin Picture

This was an interesting project. We were asked to produce two large posters, each one was 3m x 3m. But they were being used as a template for the artist Duncan Macaskill to stick coloured pins in, to create a giant mosaic.
The project is due to be completed in time for part of Mike Figgis's DELOITTES IGNITE Series, at the Royal Opera House.
Check back here soon to see how he progresses.

Road Signs

This customer wanted a set of permanent road signs to advertise his new fishing facilities. We printed photographic quality imagery onto sturdy 5mm Diabond, we also supplied the signposts and the road traffic sign fixings. To compliment the large printed signs, we also produced a number of smaller direction signs from vinyl decals applied to sheets of perspex.
The signs generated immediate interest, with bookings being taken by our customer within days.

As seen on TV

Fame at last...
A BBC documentary last night about satirical map making, dedicated a large portion of the program to a certain 1877 "Octopus Map" by Fred W Rose.
We see the skilled art of the printers as they ink the plates and wind the presses.
But what we don't see is the equally skilled staff at Hexio scanning and enhancing the faded original and manually painting the spot colours in Photoshop so that we can create the high definition litho film positives to supply them to Artichoke for their plates.

Giant films for Screenprint

We were able to produce these giant film positives for one of our screenprint customers, using our purpose built gantry camera to enlarge the negatives produced by our imagesetter.


The resulting film had crisp, high definition, high density halftone dots to create a lovely smooth fade from one end of the 3 meter film to the other.


The maximum size film we can produce if one piece is 4500 x 1600mm.
