Phew – it’s now the 8th November, the show finished more than 3 weeks ago and we’ve been so busy that we’ve only just got round to posting on our website! 

We all really enjoyed the Print Show, and are delighted that we had record levels of interest in our range of innovative materials for digital printing and finishing. 

 

 

 

Products such as Enduro film-centred durable paper, Goldtex easy-print wall Textiles and Quickpro easy-make canvas frames, alongside interesting attractions such as their water feature full of waterproof business cards and the Tearproof Challenge competition, drew many visitors every day and ensured that there was never a dull moment on the Ashgrove stand. 

In fact, we were practically inundated! 

As a newly appointed OKI dealer, Ashgrove also demonstrated the Pro 9541 LED laser printer on their stand, an incredibly versatile machine ideal for short runs on specialist materials such as heavy Picofilm polyester, other plastics, and even embossed card stocks. 

Many thanks to Richard Ramsden from RTI Rips who helped us to demonstrate the OKI running through RTI’s Harlequin RIP. More info to come on all this soon! 

Rolf Smith, our senior partner and marketing manager reported after the Show: “With awareness growing throughout the UK in our company and product range, the future is certainly looking bright for Ashgrove! Increasingly astute print buyers are realising that by using specialist materials for certain applications, e.g. durable papers for digital, their overall print costs can actually be reduced; hence this market is definitely on the up. 

Additionally, because we specialise in non-standard materials and are not just another “paper merchant”, we are able to offer the expert advice you need in order to offer complete solutions to your clients.”
