They were located at Amphion Works in Albert Street. In 1963 Smith & Ritchie became the first printing company in Scotland to use a gravure press and produced reel-fed work up to five colors.
Smith & Ritchie moved to Livingston in 1986 and in 1991 became the first printing firm in Scotland to use a 10-station gravure press.
