Look for a local company that does laser printing this would be the most cost effective. I know there are also some online printers that do this

[Broccers]

We do starter kits for small business.

100 Cards, 100 Letterheads and 100 Comps.

£ 99.00

Quality is bang on - Letterheads are not for use with a laser printer however.

Believe it or Binnsy people do use other types of printers - a shock to you, I know.

I like your site Martin !!!

Just one amend you may want to make, stationery has one 'a' - probably hanging around Pistonheads too long !!

Sorry, I thought this was a forum where people helped each other out. My mistake.

I'm sure Martin understood I was merely trying to assist his company - spelling on a forum and on your own website are two very different things.

Our core biz is based around complex solutions so I'm pleased to offer advice to people in our industry.

No hard feelings.

Broccers...

Serious question (the nerd in me wants to know) but can I ask what sort of machine you use to produce letterheads that can't be lasered?

[Broccers]

Davros,

The machine that job was quoted on is an Indigo 3050 which is a 7 colour press. The way the 'colour' is fused to the substrate is by heat - a laser obviously is hot and therefore the letterheads are not suitable for laser printers. We advise small concerns to buy an ink jet and save on their print costs.

Bragging rights aside some of our print on demand clients pay 24 quid for 250 4 colour cards but that's for high volume web ordering. This is for sure the last time I'll post prices here as it seems to spiral into a competition of who is cheapest - not what we are about at all.

[anonymous-user]

Thanks Broccers.

We've just started using a company with an Indigo for some short run colour work. Quality is pretty good but i wasn't aware that you couldn't laser it afterwards...I'd better bear that in mind!

£24 for 250 business cards......i'm sure that if you do it right you can prodcue them for that, but do you actually make any money? I thought our part of the market was tough, I don't think that amount would cover the artwork/admin costs for us!

[wanty1974]

Broccers - are you sure that's right about heat sealing not suitable for lasering? I worked in a big offset litho printers and all five of our litho machines used heat sealing, you should have seen the size of the ovens on the web. However, everything was suitable for lasering - the heat sealing process seals the inks on the run, once they're sealed any further heating won't 'unseal' them. Unless the Indigo is an entriely different bit of kit, but my digital printer says stuff from his machines can run throught lasers no prob.

[greenie]

It always strikes when there is a request about prinitng how many offers of service at cheap prices there are.

So is printing the most competitve industry ever or what?

I just ask because the last two printers I've used have both gone under. I'm sure it wasn't my fault but I'm starting to wonder.

Wanty1974,
The Indigo is a digital press and totally different to the webs (real presses...) that you are referring to.

Greeny,
Print is incredibly competitive. Several of our suppliers and competitors have gone down in the last three months and everybody seems very quiet right now except us..thank god, we're stacked out....just hope it lasts.

Yes this is a mistake I made 6 years ago when I sold a short run of letterheads to a company with a laser printer. The beauty of these machines is the flexibility to personalise for mailing etc - you are only limited by your own imagination.

The key is web ordering - online editing of cards from templates reduces any time at the production end - clients proof on screen, select how many, press go and the cards get delivered 2/3 days later. Again with our larger clients who previously had warehouses full of printed matter these are now available in an online catalogue of jobs, user selects what they require presses go and they are again delivered in 5 working days. No storage costs and quite importantly you never get any redundant stock !!
