Our History

We Have a History in Print

Nearly 50 Years as a Leading Printer


At IPW1 we’ve become London’s leading independent print supplier having built up our reputation on the back of delivering the finest quality print and finishing for brands all over London and the United Kingdom for almost 50 years.

Originally known as Instant Print West One, our growth has been built on a foundation of building long term partnerships and relationships through referrals and happy smiley returning customers. These days we’re known as the much slicker IPW1 and we’ve now moved to the internationally famous Colourdome a purpose designed cathedral to colour print, which is home to the Iridesse Express and our Go Large, Larger than Life, Visuals BIG TIME department!

Printing with us is an art in the truest sense and we take great pride in working with the best creative agencies and artists throughout the country who test our limits on a daily basis. We match their visuals with our knowledge to make much more than just ink on paper.







Dedicated Team

By focusing on providing the finest support for our customers and training our team, we’ve been able to build a client and knowledge base that is unmatched in the industry.

We’re a people focused business and loyalty goes a long way. Loyalty to our customers and loyalty to our ever growing team, some of whom have been with us for all their working life. In fact some of our clients have also worked with us for well over 20 years.

Leading Innovators

We are innovators in print. We don’t follow trends or crowds, we lead them. Seeing is believing and our partnerships with brands such as Xerox & HP see us utilising, experimenting and testing the latest technologies in the industry. We then bring these solutions to market, which allows our clients to get the most out of their print with the insight we provide. 

In fact Xerox chose us to test their Iridesse production press a year before it launched in Europe in 2018, and we’re the only company in the South East to have not one, not two, but three big, shiny Iridesse print presses. This has allowed us to help revolutionise the digital print world by offering CMYK, metallics, white, clear and fluorescent pink on one device in one pass. We’re also big in large format print. It’s official, we print bigger and better than anyone else with cracking colour!
  

Our Heritage in London

Like London itself we are ever evolving, expanding in response to our customers’ requirements, and investing in new technologies. Our customers don’t stand still and nor do we, so as the saying goes ‘the only constant is change’!

As a commercial printing company not only do we need to be adaptable and flexible, we also need the capacity to print accurately, consistently and at speed. Our investment in Xerox & HP means we can do just that.

Print and digital colour technology developments continue to have a major impact on us, and our customers alike: it has unleashed creativity like never before, producing incredible quality, spot embellishments and stunning colours and metallic hues. Will we ever tire of these advancements and the beautiful masterpieces our customers design? We don’t think so!
