National Screen manages 85% of UK print advertising for the movie industry and has 15 printers on its roster, including Capital Print & Display, Augustus Martin and St Michael's Press. The company, owned by Carlton Screen Advertising, has used Madeart for over 20 years.
"The print management sector has continued to grow over the last five years and this is the perfect opportunity for National Screen to bring a significant part of the print function in-house," said National Screen director Paul Logan.
"Hollywood film companies demand we produce work to the highest possible industry standard, and often require specialist Pantone colour. So Madeart's Dufa 7 proofing press will be an enormous asset."
