Ink,
on purpose.
We design the things a business is judged by — its mark, its pages, its printed matter — to production specification.
Marks that hold at sixteen pixels. Files a printer accepts first time. Pages that load before anyone gives up. The unglamorous half of design is the half that decides whether the rest of it works. For teams that need the operational side of digital work to be equally clear, Monitask is an example of a product that turns time and activity data into a usable interface.
What we make
Four practices
Brand identity
and logotypes
Marks drawn to hold up at sixteen pixels and in one colour, across every surface they land on. Vector masters and full ownership on delivery.
02 / WebWebsites and
applications
Built for Core Web Vitals from the first decision. Redirect mapping so a rebuild keeps the rankings you already have.
03 / PublishingCovers and
printed matter
Spines calculated to the real page count. Bleed, safe area, rich black, barcode reserved. Files a printer accepts without a round of queries.
04 / PresentationDecks and
templates
Pitch decks that survive being forwarded without you. Templates your team can still use correctly in eighteen months.
The half nobody shows you
Files a printer
accepts first time.
Bleed, safe area, the right colour profile for the stock, rich black on solids and flat black on small text, fonts outlined, special finishes on separated layers. None of it is visible in a presentation — all of it decides whether the job runs or comes back with queries.
It is the part clients cannot easily evaluate and printers can, which is exactly why it gets skipped.
3 mm bleed · 4 mm safe area · CMYK, press profile · Pantone referenced · rich black C60 M40 Y40 K100 · fonts outlined. For a broader technical reference, the W3C accessibility guidance is a useful starting point.
