Rowe passed away on Friday (5 December) having been diagnosed with cancer of the liver and oesophagus in October.
He established his eponymous Chippenham-based print group in 1983 and trailblazed short-run production techniques. The company was an early user of the Xerox DocuTech mono digital printer, and installed its first machine in 1991.
