Dear Chris & Shona

Well our first year anniversary as Foil Printers is now here!  We can not thank you enough for all the help and advice you have so readily given us over this first year, your expertise and knowledge have been invaluable to us and the training we received second to none!

As you know I researched Foil Printers in General for quite some months before coming to see you and your machines I am so relieved that we chose the Quill Press to supply our HF-85 Digital as the backup we have received has been 110% - thank you for all you patience and support.

Just to let you know we have now printed some  208,000.00 impressions using the foil printing machine in our first year alone!  We have by far exceeded our own expectations and are looking forward to another successful year.  Yes that is Two Hundred and Eight Thousand!!  One of us has great biceps!

Will be in touch soon as we feel another machine may be on the cards! (Pardon the pun)

Yours Sincerely
All at Nikkicards

Nikkicards purchased a HF-85 Digital from us in about October 2004. They very quickly established themselves as excellent hot foilers in and around Wiltshire and returned the cost of their package within 3 months, and through their excellent Website found themselves inundated with work for serviettes and bookmatches. They continue to grow from strength to strength using the machine to print many orders every day. Nikkicards Website can be found at www.nikkicards.com .

"The Quill Press are a great company to deal with, Chris and Shona are always very friendly and helpful. The information and demonstration of the Hot Foil printing process that they gave enabled me to make a well informed decision about starting my new business venture without feeling under any pressure. Their continued support is absolutely invaluable"

Nikki has only been one of our customers for about 8 months now but she to has set about producing some really good quality work. Nikki has a website at www.watersideprint.co.uk

"We recently had a need for the purchase of a hot foil printing machine, so the first port of call was to look on the internet for some options. Although not the most local of options for our business in Southend, one website which struck us as not only very informative, but extremely honest was The Quill Press in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Having spoken to one partner of the company, I realised that he had a great product knowledge and he came over as a very honest person. I arranged a visit to his office and went along. A good introduction was given and myself and a colleague were made most welcome. We quickly realised on our return journey that not only was the model shown to us was what we were after, but it was a very competitive price compared to others we had seen. We ordered and had the machine delivered to our offices/factory in Southend. Chris offered a clear and concise instruction session to several of our employees on the day of the delivery. At no point did we feel hurried along. Since installation of the machine there have been no teething problems and we have seen an immediate improvement in the cost effectiveness of certain products we produce. All in all a very satisfactory purchase was made"

Benson Lund needed a hot foil printer to print onto fine leather used in the manufacture of aircraft cockpit seats. Previously they had been sending the leather out to another company for it to be printed at a greater cost. Dave and his colleague looked at many other companies even ones more local to them before deciding to purchase from us. Bringing the printing in house, Benson Lund have greatly reduced their costs.

I would like to thank you for the advice and support you have given us in our first years trading. The quality of the machine and equipment you supplied has been superb and we are still finding new products that can be personalised with hot foil printing system. The machine has been an excellent bolt on to our sign making business and is already showing good profit margins. Although the majority of our work has been on promotional products we are now expanding into Wedding Stationery and Greetings cards. The professional manner in which you have helped us set up the business together with the excellent training you gave us has been invaluable to the success of this venture. The ongoing support has been much appreciated and we hope to expand the business over the next twelve months to a second machine. Thank you again for your time and patience and wish you continued success with The Quill Press.

Dave first purchased a machine from us in late 2001. Since that time his business has expanded into T-Shirt printing and sign making. We were also able to provide him with details of a company called Millennium who sell kits used in the manufacture of high quality "domed" items. We have used Daves company for both sign and banners and domed keyrings. Corios website can be seen at www.corioprinting.co.uk

The Rose Print of Doncaster

"I recently decided to invest in a hot foiler, but not having any knowledge whatsoever of the machine I finally purchased my hot foiler from The Quill Press, and pleased that I did. I was not only amazed by the scope of the machine but also by the high level of support that came as part of the package.
The support I am receiving is exceptional, it seems that no problem or query is too great or too small. I am so impressed that I felt it worthy of comment."

Val has only just recently purchased the machines from us and is looking to enhance her range of cards that she already produces. Val had a printing problem recently which she was finding very frustrating within 2 hours of emailing us she was back at our premises and the problem was solved. Unusually it was a problem with a metal printing plate which had a problem on it when it was purchased. As she was able to come and see us outside normal working hours Val was able to return home and continue the work she needed to complete without any further difficulty. 99 times out of a 100 we are able to answer your problems over the phone but sometimes a visit to us can help even more.

The Style Press, Boston, Lincs

I would like to thank Chris and Shona of the Quill Press for making my purchase of a Hot Foil printing package so stress free. Last year I searched the Internet for Information about Hot Foiling and contacted some suppliers of machines. It was after seeing the excellent Quill Press website that I decided that I would like to talk with them about the business. It was immediately obvious that Chris and Shona have a vast knowledge of the industry and are able to offer great technical expertise to anyone purchasing a machine. There is also the added bonus of free training. Due to the excellent instruction in the use of the HF-85 Digital Hot Foil printer and after sales support I feel confident of success in my business and feel safe in the knowledge that "back-up" is only a phone call or e-mail away. Thank you again

Graham did an awful lot of research of all the machines available before he purchased our package and has been working steadily with the HF-85 Digital since. He recently revisited us to get a little bit more help with the Wedding stationery side of his business and we were able to point him towards Albafoil for their sublimation dies which will enable him to do invitation inserts much more cost effectively.

Dear Chris I would like to thank you for taking the time recently to give me a refresher course in the use of the Hot Foil Printer I purchased from you over 18 months ago. As I explained circumstances meant that I had done only a few small jobs for friends since I purchased the starter kit from you but I am now in a position to get the hot foil side of my business really up and running. It is very unusual to find someone as dedicated as yourself in getting people to a stage where they are confident in using their hot foil printer, safe in the knowledge that if ever they encounter a problem with any particular task, or general problem with their hot foil business, your 'helpline' is there six days a week, just a phone call away. I speak from experience in assuring people that this service is 100% genuine! I must say that after visiting you recently for my refresher course my enthusiasm for promoting the hot foil printing services possible with the printer increased dramatically. I would also like to thank you for your help in resolving problems with machines I had bought from another company. You really do offer a complete service for people wanting to start their own business, before, during and after purchase, almost unheard of these days. I will keep you informed as to the progress of my business but in the meantime Chris, many thanks again for all of your help.

Best regards
