About us

A small print factory in Washington

We're a small, local team. The people who take your call are the people who check your artwork, run the printer and finish your job. There's no call centre or account manager in between.

16 years in the print trade

Our background is the best part of a working life in a print factory making envelopes. That's high-volume work, where every run has to match the last and a small mistake means thousands of spoiled envelopes. You learn to check everything before it goes on the press.

We work the same way now. Every job is checked by hand, and nothing gets printed until you've seen the proof and agreed the price. The people you talk to are the people who print it, so nothing gets lost along the way.

From design to print

Before Printing Potential, we set up YCF Media, which does design, photography, social media and AI automation for local businesses. Over time the same question kept coming up: "Can you print this for us as well?"

So now we do. We can make your artwork print-ready, or design it from scratch, and then print it. Design is free on orders over £100. That's why we don't ask you for a PDF with bleed. Send what you have, and we'll get it ready.

What we make here

Our factory is at 3b Rosse Close, Washington. We print and cut these on our Roland Soljet Pro 4 XR-640 printer/cutter:

Flyers and business cards are printed for us by a trade printer. We check the artwork, order the job and make sure it's right.

Come and collect

We're a working factory, not a shop, so there's no counter to walk up to. You're welcome to collect your order during opening hours (Mon–Fri 8am–4pm · Sat 8am–1pm). If you'd like to see a job in progress, ring us and we'll arrange a time.
