New Forum Printing Service !!!

[Stemmy]

Ok finally I think we are ready.

I would like to introduce to you the "NEW" forum printing service.

Please see the price list below I'm sure you will see it beats all the prices out there at the moment.

I'm sure you have all already seen the new Moderator Dave Ashton. He is my local printer. I can 100% vouch for his service - professionalism - and prices !!

Me and a other local professionals have been using him for the last few years and his service is second to non. Nothing is too much trouble - any problems are sorted straight away and his printing is spot on.

OK here is a brief outline of the service that Dave and his staff are going to be able to offer.

The first step if your interested is to send me a private message and I can then sort your details with Dave etc.



· Either Dave, Mark or Julie will be available to advise on any printing issues either relating to our service or queries regarding printing in general. Between the 3 of us we have over 50 years experience in photo processing so most thing we should be able to address. They should be contactable by via messenger instantly most of the time, if not some one will answer enquirers within 24 hours 7 days a week on enquires@ashtonphotographics.co.uk .

· All the new accounts will be able to discuss their requirement with Dave directly IE if they like warmer printing, more contrast, no corrections at all, etc etc…. Each customer will have there own individual settings.

· All the printing is done on silver halide process using the latest Noritsu digital lab equipment, they use Kodak Royal Professional paper. All prints include copyright symbol on back print. All our pro printing is prejudged and checked, we never batch print (don’t look at them).

· FTP account set up for all accounts.

· All printing available in gloss or luster finish.

· Biggest print size 12x36 (will get prices for that stuff next week).

· Postage at exact cost (No ripping people off on the postage like some places)

· Printing using our services helps fund the forum

· They are very open to suggestions or ways to improve the service and are constantly expanding their services so any suggestions are more than welcome. Also if they get a request and don’t have the capacity to fulfill they will point them in the right direction.

· All orders will be down loaded every morning at 7am and dispatched "The same day day" first class. Can I say that again --- "Same day turnaround !!!!" If the customer is or is not in a rush they can use special delivery or second class respectively. The customer would have to send them a message to say so. Again these would both be charged at "exact cost".

· They will take the customer credit card details when they setup the FTP account and receipt of payment will be sent out with the order. Payment is due when you order, setting up 30 day accounts would just complicate things.

Price list to follow.

I posted a post below re my dying printer and then saw your sticky re print service.

Can you tell me whether the lowest price is £9 plus p&p per print and whether you cater for unusual sizes below A4 eg 16 x 5 or only deliver the usual 7x5 , 8x10 etc

Many thanks

[Dave Ashton]

Hi Bobby,

We can do pretty much any size including all the usual 6x4, 7x5,10x8, et cetra. If you send me PM with your email address I will forward you a PDF with all our prices.

Many thanks
Dave

[bobby47]

Will do. Ive only just discovered the facility for sizing prints in 7x5 on photoshop etc. But sometimes a letterbox type shape or unusaul print is preferred eg 8x 9.

Whats PM ?

I too was wondering about a canvas, I was going to post a link of a canvas printing website to get some feedback, but not sure if it would conflict with the forum rules?

no problem if its something you have come across and may have used and find useful.

[royalpython]

Thanks Paul, looks like I would be in breach if they were offering canvas printing services then. :)

[paulmag]

Thanks Paul, looks like I would be in breach if they were offering canvas printing services then. :)

If you are intending to advertise or promote on behalf of someone then rule 15 would apply.

If you are asking what experience others have had with a particular supplier or comment on good service you have received then I cannot see any problem with that

[royalpython]

Oh that's great Paul thanks for clarifying. Definitely not advertising just for the sake of advertising, I was wanting know if these guys were any good and if the prices were reasonable :)

[mickledore]

Has this service gone belly up?

I've mailed them a couple of times to the address shown on their website, and had nothing in return. Have they disappeared into the ether?

Anyone had any recent contact with them and know what the score is?

[Dave Ashton]

We are still here dont worry, email to dave@ashtonphotographics.co.uk with your enquiry I will respond ASAP to you

Hi there, just wondering if you could do a sort off dropshipping service, as in we buy from you to print and then you send to the people who bought the image, with a slip in saying "Printed by Ashton for (insert buisness name here)"

If so that would be sooooo coool. lol

[tenchy]

Email dave ashton Steve. He's helpful and will reply.

I would be interested in this too.

[sibo]

Oops didn't see any replies, I will Steve thanks for the input, I agree Carmen that it would be a great idea. Plus they could charge a couple of quid more for the service wich you can off set with the customers sale.
