I know - it's taken me hours to realise that! I'm taking cheek off a stranger for trying to give them business.

I won't be needing them for any printing in the future. The company I work for do a lot of printing and they spent thousands last year on materials which have to be renewed every 6 months (it goes out of date quickly).

I thought most people would jump at the chance to sell the expensive stuff to a newbie - seems they're a bit short sighted.

Thanks for all the advice everyone - I'll be phoning round a few printers tomorrow.
