Printhuteers take to the Ocean

Print Hut- The Uk's Only Ultra Wholesale Printing Company took part in the Recent JP Morgan Asset Management 'Around the Island Race' over the weekend of the 19th, 20th and 21st of June. The team comprising of three including Frank Golden, Manging Director, Tom Gray and Mitch Peeters, who flew in especially from Zurich ended the 54 mile course in 55th position (out of a catagory number of 188 vessels) and finished overall in 506th position out of a record 1800 vessels that entered. Well done to the team and a special thanks to Tom Gray for providing the boat, Ruth May. One quick comment; Tom please bin that red and yellow sail which made mine and Mitch's life hell for 2 hours and a big thanks to the boat in Osborne Bay that retreived the broom (or brush if French or Belgian speaking) that Frank dropped into the sea - you saved my bacon from the skipper!!

Become a Print Hut! Reseller - Printhuteers

Well, you have been selected as a ‘printhuteer’ sales agent for Print Hut, probably because you know lots of people and lots of people know and trust you. It could be also that you are currently selling other services and products that we think compliments business printing. (We’re not daft!)


You will receive cash rewards everytime you introduce somebody who places an order into Print Hut. Whether it's a repeat order, an order a few months down the line or a new visiting customer - the reward is yours as long as the agreement is running between us both.


Attached is a marketing flyer, you can pass on, your pricing matrix and commission’s sheet for the month as well as an intro to ‘Ultra Wholesale Printing’ - sell a product and see what cash is coming your way. There will be bonuses too of course - more volume more cash, but I will be in touch about that later.


I reckon its best to keep that commission sheet under wraps or everyone will want to be a printhuteer. Oh and don’t worry if a product doesn’t appear on the list; we produce over 160 products, these are just the most common. Get your contacts to call us directly; we are a very friendly bunch…. Finally if you are a ‘retail’ printhuteer, we will be round very shortly with a box of retail goodies including flyers, printhuteer cards and counter display.


Welcome to The Ultra Wholesale print Pipeline… and I look forward to sending that first statement and receiving your invoice! I wonder what you might use the cash for?

A few more myths concerning the print industry and the environment

“Recycled paper is more expensive than virgin paper”
False:
This is another over perpetuated myth. The first recycled materials were more expensive, mainly because they were produced in relatively small quantities and systems needed for producing highervolumes, such as waste collection and sorting, were not in place. Customer demand has led to an explosion of interest in papers containing recycled fibre. Paper companies have responded to this market demand and there is an unprecedented range available.
Many recycled papers are now produced in high volumes and compare favourably in cost to virgin fibre options. Stubbornly the myth persists, but it is usually perpetuated by printing companies that have little experience of recycled papers and do not have appropriate suppliers. They are, therefore, in no position to give customers informed advice.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it (carbon free of course!!)

Continuing with his theme of the environment and the print industry, Frank Golden continues to examine what the Industry is doing to clean up its act;


Printing is estimated to be the UK’s 4th most polluting industry, mostly
because of high energy and chemical use, and associated waste.
People want to know what they can do to reduce environmental impact, not just by using less energy in planes/cars/domestic heating, but also in their purchasing choices. This is especially important when it comes to choosing a printer and it isn’t just about recycled paper. In fact to ensure sustainability, all aspects of a company's activities need to be addressed, as well as the design and printing process itself.


Myths and Misinformation


Unfortunately many people are dissuaded from making positive environmental choices by myths and misinformation which range from out of date to completely untrue. However, slowly but surely, progress is being made and the message is getting through.
For example:


“Recycled paper is more damaging for the environment than non-chlorine bleached
paper produced from sustainable forests”


False:
This vague generalisation with no basis in fact has been perpetuated widely. It is an all-encompassing myth that does not stand up to questioning. With more widespread experience of the use of recycled paper, better general environmental awareness and the scientific rigour introduced by the requirements of forestry-certification, surely its days are numbered.


Fact: One tonne of recycled paper saves approximately six mature trees and 3.3 cubic yards of rapidly diminishing landfill space (Source: Friends of the Earth).
So put that in your pipe and smoke it (carbon free of course)
