“We’re thrilled to receive recognition for our work as a commercial printer. The “Another Lost Summer” photobook demonstrates the outstanding quality that the Jet Press 750S is capable of printing,”

Jamie Emmerson, Director of Emmerson Press.

Emmerson Press is a family-run printing company based in the UK, with trusted expertise in commercial printing. The company have always been at the very forefront of technological advancements, investing in the latest innovative equipment with an enviable courage. In 2016, they made history as the first company in the UK to install a Jet Press 720S, which they subsequently upgraded to the new Jet Press 750S.

“In September, the first month of operations, we ran 40% more sheets, which is a testament to the increased speed and productivity,”

Jamie Emmerson, Director of Emmerson Press to the Printweek magazine.

Both machines empowered Emmerson Press to consistently produce high-quality photobooks which have already gained recognition at various prestigious events. For instance, in 2019, the company produced a high quality hardcover book to accompany the “Roses” photo project made by famous British fashion photographer Nick Knight, who also created advertising campaigns for Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein. All the pictures were printed on the Jet Press 720S, making use of its exceptional print quality and extensive colour functionality. One more famous project rose up in 2020-2021, when Emmerson Press supported the launch of the luxury magazine Soul Kind, printed on the Jet Press 750S. The new machine allowed them to benefit from getting ultrahigh quality for the short-run creative content.

This year marked another milestone for Emmerson Press as they became the first company in the UK to invest in our Apeos Pro C810 toner press, reaffirming their commitment to staying ahead in the commercial printing industry.

Notably, company’s success at the Digital Printer Awards 2023 made their debut at the competition and also gave a great platform to showcase their fascinating work. Our partnership is a story of sharing challenges and success, providing continuous support whenever its needed. We are proud to be their partners and are looking forward to new achievements!
