MrHappy Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 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 ? Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 We used to use a dot matrix and print our own multi copy. Now we just do single sheets of the laser.

MrHappy Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 was looking more to online shop, or email, click, pay,here nearly next day ? Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterEGO Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 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. was looking more to online shop, or email, click, pay,here nearly next day ? just order a few days before hand, then you don't need online.

james.wilson Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 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 securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

james.wilson Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 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. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
