METHODS OF PRINTING

18 January, 2011 - 10:05 by Holy Trinity Barkingside
The lease on our in-house printer (Riso RZ200) is coming to an end and we are considering what other options are available to us at the present time and in the current economic climate. We need something for both the parish magazine and other church necessities. It would be interesting to learn what methods other churches use and are they satisfactory.

We use the printing facilities of another local church - our are part of a group of churches (of different denominations and none) who work together on outreach projects to our area, and one of the other churches are willing to allow others to use their priniting facilities - we pay them of course, but it's not as much as commercial rates. We have a small desk top type photocopier for our smaller printing needs. It means local churches can save on their overheads and foster good links with each other.

We use an excellent Christian printing company in Bolton, Lancs - Sharon Press. We send them our copy by post and it is returned by courier, printed, collated and stapled - their phone number is 01204 398776. We do have rather a large magazine though - 64 A5 pages and over 800 copies - much too many to produce in-house.
