Print-IN-demand

We decided to leave the big smoke this week and pop and see what these print-on-demand specialists had to say for themselves.
I have to admit I felt a slight sense of disappointment when I had a look round the factory floor and failed to see a single monk hunched over some large historical volume with quill poised. I think it would be quite nice to keep a friar somewhere, as a kind of nod to history and recognising how far we have come. And also because you never really see monks, or at least not in the bars that I hang out in.

It was great to see the detail of their operations and exactly how it will tie in with our processes. Digital print-on-demand is a very exciting area and they have some pretty impressive machines whirring away. Joining their systems up with CN seemed to be even simpler that we had anticipated, which is a good sign.

All that remains is for us to decide which one to go with....I definitely feel a complex spreadsheet coming on!
