100 independent bookshops in London

MJC — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:22:32 +0000

Independent bookshops fill the gaps in the high street, stocking thoughtful and idiosyncratic selections rather than market-driven choices of books. They sustain local interests and offer different ways for communities to participate in a range of cultural activities. They are crucial platforms for alternative publishing.

Hato Press – Riso Risograph printing

MJC — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 08:55:24 +0000

Hato Press is a print and publishing house which runs a Risograph RP 3700 stencilduplicator. The risograph covers a gap in the market that has been held by digital and lithograph printing.

We apply this printing process to the production of artist publications, invites, flyers, posters, illustration prints and zines, though it was traditionally used for high volume printing and photocopying in schools, churches and small political parties.

Our main press is a Risograph RP 3700 stencil duplicator. Traditionally, Risographs have been used for high volume photocopying in schools, churches and small political parties. We have customized the process for the production of artist publications, invites, flyers, posters, illustration prints and zines.

Many of the books we produce not only make use of risograph printing but also letterpress, screen printing and offset lithography.

Litho/digital commercial printers for books, magazines, etc

MJC — Mon, 28 May 2012 15:00:13 +0000

Here are some commercial printers I have worked with for a variety of jobs, and personally recommend. They have different specialities.

Please remember, these are commercial printers aiming at trade business (namely book, publishers or graphic designers). That is to say, not only will they expect perfect PDFs/artwork, but when costing a job, they would expect a fairly firm specification to quote to.

While everyone I’ve worked with is very helpful and generous, please be considerate of their time when asking for quotes. Do your research first and ask for staff advice if you have never worked with a commercial printer before. The possibilities are as infinite as all the different books you have seen, so firm up details such as paper colour, texture, weight, page number, run size… some may have the time to suggest the best options within a set budget.

Calverts – a cooperative in south London, they use only soy ink, so no petrochemicals.

Tompkin Press – reasonable prices, very good for smaller dimension jobs and books

Young Print - family run business in Croydon, great for bespoke finishing, fast turn-around

Identity Print – high end finishing, die-cutting etc

Team Impression – hight quality litho, digital and finishing, everything done in-house.

~~Bishops - a large printer in south England~~ [no longer recommended, avoid]

USB flash Drives

MJC — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 13:20:06 +0000

Remember never to use flash drives as storgae for the only copy of a file. Flash drives are easily damaged (physically, or by magnetic fields or electrical peaks) or easy to lose. Use them only to keep copies of files to hand or for transferring files about.

Considering how easy they are to lose, consider encrypting your drive if using for personal files: instructions for encrypting your USB flash drive.

If for are looking for a USB flash drive, SanDisk are reliable and are good value when comparing quality, design and price.

Some Amazon.co.uk links for connivence
SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Blade USB flash drive
SanDisk 16GB Cruzer Blade USB flash drive
If you are working across Mac/PC and need to format to FAT32, you need to stick to 4GB max: SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Blade USB flash drive
