Been waiting a month for printer to get his act together & do my maint forms, now want to take him out the loop & use an "on line printer"

I have art work as PDF, so just need printing, gluing into a pad & posting to me.

Anybody recommend a firm ?

I use them for all printing needs, very quick and good to deal with.

Ive used these for years, they are local but I order via email.

May be worth a call.

Hi: Try entering Alarm NCR on ebay, firm on there will do you any amount from 1 up as & when you want them. Just send them any Logo, Artwork etc & they do the rest.

"I would like a copy for my records yes/no"

We used to use a dot matrix and print our own multi copy. Now we just do single sheets of the laser. It's greener you see.

lol, i would reply but.

[jameswilson]

we obviously then email the copy to the client.

[MrHappy]

was looking more to online shop, or email, click, pay,here nearly next day ?

[alterEGO]

didn't mean you.


ps: alot of the older guys used to do the dot matrix thing.

They are only cheap to have printed, we have ours done in 3 part.

just order a few days before hand, then you don't need online.

no we used multipart ncr blank paper, and printed the whole sheet. ie a corrective and preventive have different layouts and checks etc. We also did that for completion certs etc.
Thinking of dropping letterhead now and getting the lasers to do the lot on decent and cheap blank paper

I thought of that when i got a new printer 6 months back, decided not worth the trouble and just got mono laser all in one, has 2 paper trays anyway so not a problem.

[jameswilson]

you need a decent colour laser, only 1 of ours is up to it. Your volume, ie invoices, maint letters etc should always be run on a mono only as they are they (usually) are the cheaperst to run, we use kyocera and samsung for the volume mono laser and they are spot on. However both colour samsungs are poor.

I've got a Samsung Colour multi function laser and so far been quite impressed with it.

I did this, letterhead scanned into database and used on most reports.

We are PDA electronic for job sheets. Warning!! this might not have been the best decision we ever made.

[jameswilson]

Net. really? its something we are/were doing when I have the time to write it.
what are the downside bits. and do the upsides not counter them?
