At the end of 2025 we found ourselves looking at two matching numbers. In October we passed our five millionth order. A month later our YouTube channel crossed five million views. They arrived through different routes, but together they mark a moment worth acknowledging.

From 500,000 to 5 million<\/b><\/h2>\n

Solopress began in 1999 with one press and a guillotine. Today, we operate over 70,000 square feet of production space boasting some of the most advanced print equipment on the market. <\/span>In 2015, Solopress celebrated its 500,000th order, an event covered by Printweek<\/a> at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

A decade later, we have reached ten times that volume. The increase reflects steady investment rather than sudden leaps. Our production list now includes B1 litho capability, a continually updated HP Indigo fleet, including the 120K Digital Press, and a wide range of finishing equipment which you can explore here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Large format has grown sharply too, supported by presses such as the Agfa Oberon and Anapurna, plus expanded cutting and finishing capacity. Together these changes have allowed us to take on higher volumes with shorter lead times, while keeping quality consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company has added new space as well as new machines. We now operate across four Southend-on-Sea sites, with a fifth facility under construction. That additional room gives flexibility when demand fluctuates and lets us separate workflows more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five million views on YouTube<\/b><\/h2>\n

The second milestone came from a very different direction. On 27th November, our YouTube channel<\/a> passed five million views.<\/span><\/p>\n

The audience did not arrive from sudden spikes. Views have accumulated over years of tutorials, product explainers and behind-the-scenes footage. Many visitors find us when they are learning to use design software. Our Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign guides remain among the most watched:<\/span><\/p>\n
