There’s No Such Thing as Impossible

8 May 2012

It’s been a busy week here in PrintHouse, with a whole heap of new projects on the horizon, all seemingly more complex yet needing faster turn-arounds than ever before.  But hey, “bring ‘em on” I say – as you know that’s what we’re all about here;  making the impossible possible. Well I say ‘we’.  In [...]

What’s the Difference

13 March 2012

By now pretty much all print buyers understand and accept the differences between conventional litho printing and its digital counterpart. In a nutshell the latter is ideally suited for the shorter run work that’s needed in a hurry, with the compromise generally being a little in the way of quality. As the producer, each “copy” [...]

Charity begins at…

20 December 2011

At this time of year our thoughts quite rightly go out to those who are a less fortunate than ourselves, with I hope most of us doing what we can to try and make a difference, no matter how small. At Xmas time we’ve traditionally printed vast numbers of cards, passing on a portion of [...]

20 September 2011

Okay, I’ve just got to try and clear this up once and for all.  This week I’ve already had to make three phone calls to prospective clients just to ensure that the paper they’ve asked for is actually the paper they want!  And it’s not that our customers are being silly… I keep hearing “I [...]

It’s Complicated

21 June 2011

Love is (so they say anyhow!), but getting your Annual Report designed and printed needn’t be any such thing as we’ve just proved once again. Commissioned by public service giants Amey back in November, PrintHouse were tasked with producing, from start to finish, an Annual Report the company would be proud of …but without any [...]

What’s A Canadian?

5 April 2011

I don’t know, what is a Canadian?    Sorry guys, but I’m not all that good at telling jokes so, rather than give you some witty one liner, I’m afraid you’ll have to make do with me explaining what Canadian’s have done for the world of wire binding.   Well what they’ve done is given [...]

Simply PURfect

1 February 2011

I get asked all the time if we can bind a brochure, catalogue or journal “paperback book” style so as to create a spine that, without doubt, enhances the look and perceived value of the finished item.  This binding style is referred to as “perfect binding” – but as with so much in the industry [...]

Sending a Corporate Business Card

30 November 2010

Over recent years we had seen the trend moving towards an e-mailed Xmas greeting rather than the traditional sending of a personalised card, with businesses large and small citing “saving the environment” or “making a charitable donation on your behalf” as reason for so doing.  Yet criticisim from several quarters has certainly seen that trend [...]

Pearls of… Garlic!

19 October 2010

We’ve printed all manner of books here – from Xmas Bestsellers about Patriotism to Anniversary Books for The Superstar Trainer and O2 Arena.  But a book all about Garlic; well here was a first. At Printhouse we love the “out of the ordinary” and, after meeting with the editor, we soon saw her vision for [...]
