We can deliver

We hope! I have just been introduced to a local courier service that offers a reliable and quick service, particularly useful for local deliveries, which means that as soon as a job has been printed, it can be winging its way to you, instead of having to wait maybe a few days for me to be in, for instance, the north of the city. We will see how it works, but don’t be worried, no customer will lose any of the personal print service we strive to offer.

If Greystones Printing was the Met Office, the current temperature would be HOT! The jobs going through as I write are 500 14 page A4 calendars for a doggie charity, the cover of which has been designed by brilliant graphic designer Gemma Dinham, (who graduated from Uni at the same time as her pal, my daughter Emily). The fourth, yes fourth print run, of the highly acclaimed nMRCGP manual is now in the printer’s in box, so the Olivetti is set for about 6 days of solid printing. A new client, a local Educational Consultant, has just brought in a couple of jobs to keep the Duplo busy for a few hours. For the technocally-minded, the front and back covers of the calendar are being printed on 300 gsm Advocate smooth extreme white, the inner pages on the same, but in 160 gsm. The nMRCGP text pages are printed on 100 gsm Pro-Design laser stock, the covers on 335 gsm Royal Kent Ivory board, which is laminated to the print side prior to perfect binding.

I could do with another weekday! The weekend will be spent working, but I am certainly not complaining! Just in: an order for 5000 invoices from my Veterinary Client in Shropshire, 1500 statement forms to be printed and perforated for a Sheffield hydraulics engineering company (to go along with the 5000 two part carbonless sets I mentioned the other day), and a very interesting book that has come to me for thermal binding. This entails printing a cover, creasing it, applying thermal melt glue, inserting into a device that melts the glue, and finally guilloting it on three sides. Oh, and laminating the outside of the cover too. I have organised a delivery date for a consignment of medical books for Cambridge, following a delivery made to Nottingham yesterday.

The medical manual for the nMRCGP is proving a great success: we are about to print the third batch!

I am pleased to be associated with the Moorside Writers Group, who have asked me to print books of their members work. Most are 64 pages, A5 size, and thermal-bound. Today will be spent binding two more writers books. The first draft of Dronfield Miscellany, the twice-yearly production of the Dronfield society’s magazine is ready for proofing, then I will settle in to a 5000 run of a two part carbonless invoice set. Plus lots of other, smaller jobs.

I go away for a well earned break, and checked my e mails from a hotel on Mull, and what do I read? An e mail from Dr Rughani asking for another batch of ‘Becoming a GP’! This just shows what a quality product the book is! The local booklet ‘Mum’s the Word’ is currently on another press, 700 copies of a 44 page A5 ‘toddlers directory’ published four times a year, on the computer screen is progressing the final(?) drafts of a couple of local guide books. Plus many other jobs, ladies football registration cards, record cards for an alternative therapy practice, etcetera. If you want something doing, ask a busy person! Want printing? ask me!

Also available from Amazon, this is a 240 page perfect bound ‘bible’for the medic who wants to become a GP.
I am proud to be associated with Dr Amar Rughani, and have printed guides he has written for a number of years. This is the most ambitious project so far, and are keeping fingers crossed that it will become a best seller.

We have just taken delivery of a new digital press, state of the art etcetera, so the quality of work will be some of the best in the area.
No time to write more, got to go and learn how to drive it! Call in and see it working, it is now going to print 15 copies of a 150 page training manual, some pages are in colour, some monochrome and this clever little (400 kilos of electrionuics) will know which is which!

cutting and drilling paper to fit in personal organisers for a client in Manchester! I had a programme bar made for my drilling machine that allows me to drill two sets of three holes on the edge of the sheets. Another project I am working on is making a new set of dates, days and months cards for perpetual calendars.

Yes, an incredible 40 years! Richard first became involved in print when he was a student at Salisbury College of Art. He and Jonathan Gamble,a pal from schooldays who was a student at nearby Winchester College of Art regularly got together to print all forms of stationery by letterpress, suplementing their meagre college grants in the process. “Jummydick” was their trading name, and more can be seen at www.unstonegreen.co.uk
