Bristol's online printing website thelocalprintcompany.co.uk has expanded it's online printing range by introducing a new Booklet Printing service available to order online aimed at helping reduce the cost of printing booklets such as Community Newsletters...
The new booklets, aimed at small, local businesses are currently available in A5 and A4 sizes, and quantities as low as 250, though more sizes and lower quantities are due to be added soon.
The addition continues a year of expansion for the company behind thelocalprintcompany.co.uk which places its main focus on printing for local businesses. Jeremy Plumley, Owner and Managing Director of TheLocalPrintCompany.co.uk said "It's important to us that we launch products through demand, which add value or give customers more of an opportunity than they had before. We noticed the Booklet Printing marketplace has a large money-gap between very small run, low quality photocopied-style pamphlets and professionally printed booklet products which makes it very easy for local businesses to become priced out, loosing a great opportunity for promoting themselves, and potentially making some money through advertising revenue. There's no reason for this to be happening which is why we launched the range - to be cheaper, and better quality".
The new Booklet Printing range is available to buy online at http://www.thelocalprintcompany.co.uk/bristol-printing/booklet-printing/booklet-printing.html

Bristol Printing Company Announce Larger Range of Leaflets
One of the South-West's leading online printers and cheap printing website, thelocalprintcompany.co.uk has welcomed the post-Easter rush announcing a new range of smaller run, cheaper and single sided Leaflets aimed at the smallest businesses...
The new leaflets, aimed at helping the smallest businesses save money on promo printing are available in A6, DL and A5 size, and quantities as low as 250, as well as single and double sided, making them ideal for smaller businesses for whom the thousand plus quantities typically available in the past, were too large. It is hoped the new smaller volume will lead to less waste among customers, something owner Jeremy Plumley is keen to promote; "Smaller, more flexible quantities at smaller prices makes it possible to cut the immediate, customer wastage right down. Nobody likes waste, and whilst throwing a few leaflets away for one person might not be an issue, multiply that by the hundreds of orders we receive and you'll see it very quickly becomes an issue".
The new Leaflet range launched online earlier this month comes following feedback from customers that smaller quantities, as well as single sided printing would be beneficial to smaller businesses, especially at the sort of super-competitive prices thelocalprintcompany.co.uk has come to be known for.
The leaflets are available to buy online at http://www.thelocalprintcompany.co.uk/bristol-printing/leaflet-printing/flat-leaflets.html

What's been happening at The Local Print Company
The last few months have flown by - we've been manic all day, every day. Crucially we've made a few decisions to improve the way we work and the speed of our service...
So for the moment we're cutting right back on the amount of design work we handle in-house, instead are subcontracting out to a great team of designers.
We've also revamped the website, polishing the brand slightly and adopting a new cleaner type-face, along with some more technical back-end changes that are helping improve the way we communicate with customers. There's still a little way to go to tie everything in together but main feature wise we're there (hopefully)! On that front - online payments are now finally sorted... so you can pay using your credit / debit card again!
On the product front we've introduced a new thicker stock for business cards - so we're now using 400gsm rather than the old slightly thinner 350gsm, which means we're bang on the industry standard stock for business cards - and at quantities of 1000 we're up there with the cheapest suppliers in the country! We've also dropped our letterheads down to 100gsm - this makes running them through printers a little easier, and reduces the delivery weights considerably - which in turn means our prices have come down further.
We're looking to continue our rapid expansion in the coming months, so watch this space..!

What is Coated / Uncoated Paper?
We're often asked what we mean when we say 'coated' or 'uncoated' paper... so here's a quick introduction!
Coated Paper is printing stock that has an outer layer of coating. We stock two different finishes - Gloss and Silk. Coated paper tends to produce sharp, bright printing because the ink isn't absorbed into the paper very much, and the coating means light is reflected well. It's commonly used for leaflets, posters, flyers, business cards etc.
Uncoated Paper is print stock that doesn't have an outer coating. Some people prefer it because it feels more natural. The results in print are totally different to coated stocks though, as the ink is absorbed into the paper, allowing the dots to expand resulting in a print that is less sharp, and less bright than coated stocks. It's commonly used for stationery (letterheads and compliment slips) as well as business cards, loyalty cards, flyers etc
There we have it - a quick intro to coated and uncoated papers... Take a look at our website if you're interested in ordering printing - http://ping.fm/y7umS

CMYK - explained
CMYK is used everywhere as way to achieve full colour printing. It's also known as process, 4-colour process and full colour process and uses 4 ink colours - Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), and Black (K - which stands for Key). The colours are layed down on the paper as tiny dots which combine to create the illusion (to our eyes) of other colours. If you have a look at something that's been printed under a magnifying glass you should be able to see the 'matrix' of tiny dots of each colour!
There we have it - a quick intro to CMYK. Check out our website at http://ping.fm/994ZS if you're looking to get something printed - we specialise in Flyers, Business Cards and Leaflets. :)
