While we were at the Trade Only Show last week, I noticed that the mugs and other printed blanks on the Listerwood stall really had that wow popping colours factor, so I enquired with one on the staff how they got them like that. The young chap was very helpful in saying that they used Tru-pix paper and that if I went to the downstairs rooms a lady down there had equipment set up and she could probably help me more.
On speaking to the lady and seeing they to were using the Ricoh printer, she offered to send a free sample of the tru-pix paper for us to try.
This morning a large envelope arrived and in were Five sheets of A4, and Five sheets of A3 (that's what I call generous as I was only expecting a couple of A4 sheets)
When my equipment was set up at my house by Xpress they installed their own driver and not the sawgrass powerdriver, so I thought best install the powerdriver and use the setup like Listerwood.
I have now printed and pressed a mug and the difference is great the colours are now bright and an exact match as what is on the monitor. (Sorry I can't post a picture of the mug but it is a new design range I have been working on).
So then next time we place an order, Listerwood will be be getting our custom for some A3 trupix paper and more than likely a few of their blanks from their range.
Jack.
