Welcome to MARC the printers. We are located in the Northern Quarter in central Manchester. We specialise in printing for local businesses, creative industries, charities and the voluntary sector.

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

We have 2 versions:
The Spot Colour Risograph        

The Full Colour Inkjet Risograph           

Both machines are about as "green" as printing gets - no solvents, no toner, cold process, soya-based inks

Very good value for short and medium print 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.

However, these machines are not suitable for all print jobs. The spot colour machine cannot print large solid areas of ink (the wet paper would just get stuck on the drum) and the full colour machine cannot reproduce the vibrant colours associated with a colour laser printer. So...

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.

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.)

3. Full colour prints on glossy coated papers, use of varnishes, metallic inks etc.

Sorry, but we are not that sort of printers!!!
