At the printers as new title The City of Westminster goes to press…

The sheets must wait a few days to dry after being printed

The technology means that one master printer (in our case, Koen Verheije) can oversee the quality, checking the colour and density of each sheet as they are printed.

We wanted to take you behind the scenes at Quartet Books and have decided to share some of our printing photos with our followers…. Please see the above pictures taken at Graphius, in Ghent, last week when our book, The City of Westminster, went to press. One of the largest printers in Europe, the factory is equipped with the very latest machines and is capable of producing outstandingly beautiful books in record time. Published in association with the Sir Simon Milton Foundation, our book is a pictorial celebration of life in Westminster. Copies will be available in the New Year.
