One of my regular customers rang me this morning wanting to cancel their leaflet printing order. They we're working to a tight budget and decided it would be cheaper to print 250 A5 leaflets using a HP inkjet printer they'd borrowed from a friend.

What they hadn't considered was the true cost of inkjet printing. I recently came across a test report in Computer Active Magazine which found that the average cost to print just one A6 colour photograph using a desktop inkjet printer was a whopping 45p! On that basis, had my customer gone ahead and printed their own leaflets, it would have cost them £167 more than if they'd left it to us.

After reading the Computer Active report, my customer had a rethink and decided they didn't want to cancel their order after all. Cheers Computer Active!

If we haven't been introduced yet, I'm Tom. How you doin? I'm in a couple of unsigned bands which is cool but it doesn't exactly pay the rent :-( so during the day I run an online printing company - stressfreeprint.co.uk. We mostly do leaflet printing and flyer printing but we also produce posters, tickets, folders, stationery and CD/DVD inserts. So if you want to promote your band or company check out our website for more info. Hopefully we'll be able to help you out sometime. Take care. Tom ;-)
