A paperless society - Is it a myth

It was 1978 when Frederick Wilfrid Lancaster made a theory which said in coming years that society would have been paperless.

After almost 40 years, we can say that Lancaster's concept is still utopian.

By and large, more than half of European families claims to use a printer or a photocopier at least twice per week.

If we look companies behaviour, a recent study has revealed that, despite the digitization of a significant amount of documents, in the most part office workers prefer to use printed sheets.

Paper is an important resource for the environment, and we recommend not wasting it.

But we also offer a wide range of different kind of papers, and if you have a particular necessity, visit our website! You will surely find the solution!

Easter Rising

This weekend will see the Easter Rising being commemorated in Ireland. 

 

We remember all those who lost their lives fighting for this country.

 

The Easter Rising was a transformative event for modern Ireland which paved our way for our independence, 1916 set Ireland on the road to independence! 

 

It was a significant event in seperate but overlapping histories of Ireland and Britian.

 

The past century has seen many ups and downs in British-Irish relations! But seeks to look ahead to the future relations between our two countries.

We hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

Inkjet or laser printer: which is the best choice?

The answer is: it depends.

There are several differences between these two different types of printing, but the biggest difference is the cost.

An inkjet printer has a low start upcost and is less expensive than a laser printer. They are great for photos and heavy image documents.

A laser printer is more expensive, but can give you an average cost per copy lower than an inkjet printer, better reliability and longer life. Laser printers use "toner" cartridges, a particular powder which doesn't dry out and can also produce up to thousands of different prints.

Other differences among inkjet and laser printers are the speed and quality.

An inkjet printer is generally slower than a laser printer, but the results in printed pages are better, with a higher precision and brighter colours. On the other side, if you need to print a massive quantity of text pages or documents, the choice of a laser printer is definitely the best one.

The choice depends on what you need - if you are unsure, just contact us! We have a wide range of printers and can give you the right advice!
