Very good all-round high-quality printer. They do a lot of art books. They are much cheaper than Dutch printers. That’s partly because the environmental regulations concerning printing ink and chemicals in Belgium are not as strict as in The Netherlands, so they work with cheaper, but more polluting inks. But with those more polluting inks you sometimes can achieve more quality. The other reason is that they work with inmates for the binding. Obviously very popular amongst the pennywise Dutch graphic designer or artist on a budget.

This is the Chinatown-based printer that North Drive Press uses for most of our offset printing work. Our contact is named Andy.

We have used G+P to perfect bind our stuff. The quality is really great and it’s definitely reasonable in price.
—Megan Plunkett, Kingsboro Press
My art students researched quotes from numerous places for a project and G&P was definitely the most affordable offset printing in the city that they could find. They were also the easiest to work with.

Besides Die Keure, I’ve never worked with an offset printer as good as these guys. Their professionalism and quality comes at an expense, but the products of their process are of the best calibre. They are very familiar printing art books. They treat their clients very well.

It’s a good printer for art projects (won’t collaborate with any other type of initiators). Very cheap even for Berlin, but you will have to physically participate in the production. Contact: Matthias Mrowka (speaks English).
