Why is digital print revolutionary? Because it brings quality, speed and flexibility to projects that were once considered impractical or even impossible. Using digital print technology, direct marketing pieces can include customized variable text and images. Setup time and minimal environmental waste make even the smallest, most urgent projects viable.
A wide variety of paper stock weights, textures and sizes are available. Digital print allows you to print only what you need, thereby reducing storage fees and wastage. Reprints of existing jobs are fast, easy and consistent.
Whether you require high-speed black and white, striking full colour, or impressive large format output, Hume has an option that fits your needs.
Even traditional offset printing has benefited from the digital revolution. Computer control has made litho printing faster, more accurate and higher quality than ever before. Hume has also implemented direct-to-plate imaging throughout our entire offset workflow. The benefit? The complete elimination of the costly, time consuming and environmentally hazardous process of creating film.
Removing this step has allowed us to make litho printing quicker, cleaner and more economical. Offset still holds a strong place in the commercial printing marketplace. If your large-run project requires specialty inks, unique stocks or oversize sheets, call us to discover what Hume can do for you.
Ensure your stunning print job receives the perfect finish with Hume's comprehensive bindery and finishing services, all conveniently located under one roof. From standard and practical solutions to unique and intricate finishes, each project is executed with impeccable craftsmanship and efficiency.
Our finishing department goes beyond simple document assembly; we excel in highly complex matching, assembly, and kitting projects, making us the ideal partner for variable imaging and direct marketing campaigns.

Bindery optionsThe choice of binding for your project plays a crucial role in determining the overall aesthetic and tactile experience of the final project. Additionally, the binding technique you opt for can have a considerable impact on the overall cost of your printed materials.
Tear away note pads (padding)
This method involves assembling notepads by applying adhesive along one edge of a stack of individual sheets. It is an excellent way to create cost-effective custom note pads that can effectively promote your brand or event.
Saddle stitching 
Despite the name, saddle-stitching does not involve actual stitching: rather, it utilizes staples to bind pages together. In this process, printed sheets are folded to create a booklet, with an optional cover. The folded sheets (in signatures of 4 pages) are stapled through the centre with two staples. This technique is a good choice for magazines and brochures containing 76 pages or fewer (depending on the stock). The primary advantages of saddle-stitching is affordability with a professional appearance. It is also one of the simplest and fastest binding technique available, ideal for both large print runs and smaller projects without adding significant weight -perfect for items intended for mailing.
Plastic coil binding 
Known for durability and ease of use. The plastic coils are made from high quality PV plastic, providing secure and aesthetically pleasing bindings capable of accommodating documents up to 2" thick. Available in numerous colours and diameters, plastic coils are particularly advantageous when printed materials need to lie flat when opened - such as work books, manuals or cook books.
Wiro binding
This method employs continuous spiral wire that threads through the holes along one edge of the booklet. It comes in various colours and diameters while offering an upscale appearance. Similar uses as plastic coil binding but with a more professional look.
Perfect binding (soft cover/paperback) 
Involves adhering pages together with glue to produce a polished and professional looking product. The process begins with printing of individual pages stacked into a book block, adhesive is then applied along the spine before wrapping it with a cover (on a heavier stock). After allowing time to dry, three sides are trimmed to finalize the publication's appearance. Perfect binding offers several advantages, it is cost effective, compared to hard cover options and can accommodate small print runs without sacrificing quality. Additionally, perfect binding creates a flat spine suitable for printing titles or author names.
Case binding (hard cover)
An ideal choice for high-end projects requiring durability and sophistication. There are several variations within case binding. Methods generally involve gluing inner pages into a cohesive book block before attaching them securely to endpapers that connect them to the board/hard cover.

Josh was great to deal with, honest and no over selling.The installation team was the best. I have dealt with many people over the years but this father and son team could teach everyone out there how to treat people. Outstanding performance and service. Blown away by these two gentlemen! Kudos and many thanks.
Reins was exceptional throughout every stage of us replacing our oil furnace with a heat pump. Josh, Kyle and Elyk were all extremely professional, friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Reins to anyone looking for HVAC services without question!
