The return of old customers…

I have said on these pages before how really nice it is to have printed for some clients for years. One such client came back today, with the draft for his club’s annual programme. A delightful gent, he never fails to ask how my ‘kids’ are: he has seen them growing from toddler stage up [...]

Battling with bean counters

I get on very well with my paper merchants, the sales people are friendly and helpful, but are being hassled by clients like me because of the stupid rules their bean counters have bought in. Minimum order of £75 they say, but that is in one day…. not in a single order. I can order [...]

Another printing machine coming!

Yes: it’s true, I am buying another Duplo, to help me print 1000 copies of a 260 page book! It is a job I have done a couple of times before, the last time was when my trusty Morgan was being rebuilt after that ‘wall incident’, so I had the garage in which to store [...]
