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.
Details of the funeral will be announced in due course
