CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE FOUND US!

We are creative children's book, zine, photobook and artist catalogue printers 

About Us

We are run by creatives for creatives and actively embrace a forward-thinking, refreshing outlook on printing. We are less grey/tired/stuck-in-our-ways and are more progressive, upbeat, and happy. If you are looking for grumpy, one-word responses by jaded industry veterans then, “Sorry”, we might not be the print company for you.

So, what does that mean? Well, from our first contact we will give you a wealth of resources, knowledge, and friendly advice to broaden your understanding of the print process. When you speak to us, you will reach someone who knows about your project and is an expert in the print process. We help everyone from the complete novice to the design agency superstar.

Enjoy a quick 2-minute overview of the print journey at Ex Why Zed.

We transform your ideas into print

So what’s our story then? Well, you might have only just found us but we launched 17 years ago way back in 2006. Our work encompasses self-publishing, children’s books, photo books and zines but our skills don’t stop there. We will work with you to take your artwork from screen to a wide range of printed genres. These including notebooks, folded leaflets and artist catalogues.

Our HP Indigo digital presses and Heidelberg litho presses are industry leading machines and produce unrivalled print quality.

Do enjoy looking around our website, it is packed with useful information. On each product page, we showcase winning print specs to give you a head start. No need to reinvent the wheel, right? If any of our showcased options would work for your project, take a note of the spec and jump on our quote form to receive your bespoke quotation.

For further visual stimulation, our much loved video guides take a deep dive into styling specific genres of printed publications. So, boil the kettle, pour yourself a G'n'T or just relax and enjoy their visually engaging advice.

When you are ready to go ahead, our hassle-free ordering system is ultra-efficient. Simply send us your print-ready file for a thorough preflight check, then we will print and deliver your finished work within a few days.

Super friendly humans & top notch printing!
I’ve used Ex Why Zed twice to print children’s books for friends and family and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back for a third time! The guides on how to print are perfect for beginners and the quality of the end product is very professional. To top it off the people who work here are super friendly humans who will do their best to help you out. 5*s!
