Traditional print processes inspire new £2 coin

Filed under: Online Printing,Opinion,What You Say — FilePrint @ 1:58 pm

The Royal Mint has rolled out a new £2 coin to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible.

Featuring the quote “In the beginning was the Word”, from John 1.1, the new design demonstrates the original technology behind the printing press with the tactile text appearing both reversed to represent the printing block, and recessed to represent the printed text.

The limited edition coin, which was designed by London-based DesignStudio, is available now from the Royal Mint in a base metal collector version. Additional collector versions will be struck in silver and gold next year, with general circulation of the coin taking place later in 2011.

The original printing of the authorised version of the King James bible was published by Robert Barker, the King’s Printer, in 1611.

Printing Greetings Cards

Filed under: Opinion — FilePrint @ 11:30 am

One of our customers Matt Botwood www.photopenfathor.com wrote an interesting post on his blog: ‘(…) I have been printing my own cards for several years now, and the quality is great using my Epson R2400 printer combined with Crane Museo fine art card blanks. However, this is not a cheap approach costing around 60p per card by the time you’ve factored in the ink, envelopes, sleeves etc not to mention the time (it is not a quick process!). As the number of retail outlets that stock my work has increased I have been looking for a more economical and less time consuming way of getting the cards printed. Sure there are lots of printers who will print greetings cards cheaply as long as you want 1000 of each design (not great when you have well over 100 designs!). There are also low-print-run digital services, but they cost more and I have never been impressed with the quality. That was until someone recommended FilePrint.org to me.(…)’

Opinion – Digital Print

Filed under: Online Printing,Opinion — FilePrint @ 11:30 am

I’ve been working in Digital Print for some years now and I have always been frustrated by the lack of progress and vision in the sector. The focus always seems to be lead by the print engine manufacturers (Xerox, HP, et al.) which has little or no relevance to us working at the ‘coal face’. It is my intention, therefore, to write a series of thought provoking articles and try and move the agenda back on to our ground.

These are some of the topics that I want to discuss:

  • Is digital print failing to live up to expectation?
  • How difficult is it get into Print on Demand solutions and what’s the real cost?
  • Can you hit the ground runnning and generate revenue quickly?
  • And many more.

But …… a debate needs more than one, so, please comment on my blogs.
