LIFE and blogging has all been a bit Wrynose-centric of late, so I thought I’d say a few words about Pagefast for a change. Life goes on, after all (and I do have some news to impart).

We have just installed a new A3 digital printer, in which the great miracle of impressing words and pictures on virgin paper happens within a beautifully self-contained box. This by popular demand, so that our printers need no longer suffer the indignity of getting ink on their fingers. Modern youth, eh?

Any opportunity to stick it to the boys. Actually, it’s not that simple. Nor true, even. For one thing, we’re keeping our ruddy great, glorious, cast-iron German machines to do the hard yards for us; to print perfect pages one after another in tens and hundreds of thousands. So the pressroom lads will still get inky, bless ‘em.

The new digibox thing, in a different way another fantastic piece of engineering, has taken up residence in a very large corner of the office, from where it will handle the short-run, fast-turnaround orders for us. Postcards, business cards, flyers, leaflets, and so on.

To get the best out of the new printer we’ve set up an online shop, so you can book your order without awakening our estimator. And what a pleasure it’s been to deal with the banks in this. Their stock answer to every request for action is ‘it’ll just be two weeks’, no matter for how many weeks you’ve been asking the question. So it’s taken longer than we had hoped to activate our online banking system…

But it’s good to have something to moan about, and we’re there now. So if you’re browsing, have a gander. Go ahead, click here.
