Please note that we are closed on all Bank Holidays, for eleven days in July/August, and for an extended period over Christmas & New Year. Please note that we strictly adhere to our opening times without exception and that all work must be completed, collected and paid for by the stated closing time or you will have to wait until the next working day.

This website is now running on a newer old computer and plans are in place for a more robust server to be introduced when time allows. If you do find something that is not working correctly, please let us know. Minimise problems - Make a PDFIf you require printing from a non-graphic file format i.e. not EPS, JPEG, TIFF, etc, please bring or send a PDF file. This helps minimise problems with missing fonts and layout changing that we often get, especially with Microsoft Word and Publisher files. It's not guaranteed to be 100% correct all the time, but it's usually better than a Word file. This also means that when we are busy, you might not have to wait for a PC to become available as a PDF can be printed from any of our computers. If you use an Apple Mac, you can create a PDF using the Print command. If you use Microsoft Windows, you can get free software to make PDFs called PrimoPDF. Fitted T-shirts now availableWe now have fitted t-shirts in women's sizes (extra small to extra large). See the T-shirt page for more details. Polypropylene - we've got it covered!Due to customer requests, we now stock 500 micron translucent polypropylene covers for use with comb, wire and metalbind channel binding. The cost is an additional 12p per cover used. Email problemsYou may be experiencing difficulties when sending emails to us with messages being returned ('bounced'). This is due to a new anti-junk email policy implemented by the University of Manchester to stop the huge amounts of 'spam' being sent to staff and students.
