GTO Printers is  a small specialist printing company situated in Birkenhead on the North Shore of Auckland. We offer unique print capabilities not found in most other printing businesses. The business is situated just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Birkenhead

Graham Judd, the owner, trained as a letterpress machinist, then retrained on offset, and later set up the company, now at 23 Enterprise Street, Birkenhead. Graham has experience in all aspects of the printing trade, and is the hands on printer at GTO.

As well as the normal print jobs done by small commercial printers, we enjoy the challenge of those odd little jobs that other printers and copyshops may find too fiddly, or don't have some of the specialised equipment to do. And we use the services of other printers and the local bookbinder when required.

 

THE ENVIRONMENT

 

We are an environmentally conscious company, and endeavour to make all print processes as clean and green as possible.

Letterpress and offset printing uses environmentally friendly inks and washes and the trade in general is very environmentally aware. We use vegetable oil based inks, and encourage the use of recycled papers and boards.

Laser copiers and printers use carbon based toners, which are not recycleable or biodegradeable, and with the regularity that copier companies promote upgrading of their machines, they are not considered a particularly environmental form of printing. But if digital files are set up correctly to be print-ready, there are normally few waste copies.
