Where quality meets personalised service
Our Story
For over 160 years, 80 Long Acre, Covent Garden has been the home of quality local print and design. From Charles Steer, designers and printers of playing cards during the 1850s to KWT in 1972, we continue as the original Covent Garden print and design studio offering quality work and personalised service. With the latest digital printing equipment to complement our in-house litho printers and our new design studio, we can offer you a complete service under one roof.
Our Services
At KWT, we offer a full and comprehensive range of printing services built up after many successful years in the printing industry and countless satisfied clients. Our services include Digital Printing, Litho Printing, Thermographic Printing, Print Finishing & Binding, Posters and Large Format, Mounting and Encapsulating, Roller and PVC Banners, Window Vinyl, Wall graphics and cut vinyl, and Scanning.
Digital Printing
Digital printing means faster turnaround time, accurate colours, and crystal-clear imagery, and greater flexibility with personalised content. Using the latest direct print digital technology, we can produce your short-run, full colour business cards, leaflets, brochures, catalogues, datasheets, wedding stationery, calendars, and much more. For some jobs, the quality of digital print is far better than litho with instant printing and no drying time, and is a lot more cost-effective.
Litho Printing
KWT modern litho presses guarantee excellent quality print, especially for large volume printing projects that require special colours and pure pantones. Litho printing offers a flatness of colour that can be hard to achieve with digital print. Here at KWT, we use environmentally friendly inks and papers making your litho job cost-friendly and environmentally friendly too.
Thermographic Printing
Thermography is a traditional printing method that raises the ink. It can be used on text and small graphics. This process is mostly used on business cards, letterheads, and invitations.

KWT covers a wide range of binding services, whether it is for report printing, a pitch, or a university hand-in, KWT has you covered.
