The Webcom Pressroom

 At Webcom we provide digital text and cover printing in addition to offset text and cover/jacket printing - all under one roof. Our high-efficiency offset and digital web presses and full-colour sheetfed presses provide fast set-up and minimal trim waste to help us "hold the line" on production costs.

Text Printing

Timsom Webcom was the first printer in Canada to use coldset web offset presses for book manufacturing. Since that time we have engineered a pressroom which efficiently manufactures a wide range of popular book trim sizes, in up to four colours, such as:
  • 4 1/4" x 7" Mass Market Paperbacks, Pocket Size Reference Books
  • 4" x 8" and 4" x 9" Pocket Directories and Manuals
  • 6" x 9" Trade Titles, University Course Catalogs
  • 7 3/8" x 9 1/4" Software Documentation, College and Elhi Texts
  • 7" x 10" Professional Annuals, Educational Supplements
  • 8 1/2" x 11" Directories, Catalogs, Trade Titles, Study Guides
  • 9" x 12" Music Folios
The jewel of our text pressroom is a state-of-the-art Timson book press. This two colour press features computerized inking, registration and infra-red drying systems that improve print quality by providing crisper halftones, stronger solids, screens and colours.

Lay-Flat Otabind The majority of books printed at Webcom are 1 and 2 colour text, however we also have the capability to print 4 colour process.

Cover Printing
Our complete in-house facility also includes cover, jacket and insert printing. This full-service offering allows tighter control over project schedules, simplifies the task of pulling all job components together, and reduces costs.

SheetfedOur climate-controlled pressroom houses both 2- and 6- colour sheetfed presses which are used exclusively for printing full-colour covers and inserts. Computer controlled set-up combined with our "Fuji Pictro" digital proofing system, which is calibrated to these specific presses, ensures consistent quality in our printed covers.

Webcom's highly skilled sheetfed operators are experienced in running coated and uncoated stocks in a variety of weights as well as many of the recycled and synthetic materials available today.

Cover coatings are applied in our ISO registered in-house coating department which is the largest and best-equipped specialty coatings facility in Canada.
