Background note:

Printing.com

Printing.com offers a broad product range including leaflets, booklets,
postcards, promotional cards, invitations, letterheads and business cards to
consumers and small and medium sized companies. Unlike its competitors, Printing
.com Stores and Franchises do not depend on any printing equipment on location.
The Company's printing and ancillary equipment is based at the centralised
Production Hub with the head office in Manchester. All work is produced in full
four colour rather than two colour. Delivery to the customer is usually within
three days. The printing sector has traditionally been served by smaller
printing companies or other On Demand Printers and is estimated to be worth some
£1 billion.

Printing.com has three routes to market: Franchise Stores, Bolt-on Franchises
and Company owned Stores.
