HP Photosmart 3310 All-in-One series (Around £270/$520)
HP call this the world's fastest printing all-in-one printer, and the Photosmart 3310 has a wide variety of features. It can also be used as a fax, but without an auto feeder, you might find positioning scans on the flatbed a bit tiresome. But that's the only thing you can say against this glorious machine. It's quick, the quality is excellent, and in a business environment it’s as reliable as your hole-punch. The screen is a hefty 9.1cm, and it will print your photos in under 15 seconds. Want to view video clips with sound? Go ahead. Want to print sequences of photos? Go nuts. Want to drive to Gretna Green with it in the boot and carry out an inappropriate marriage ceremony? Move along please. Weirdo.
HP Officejet Pro K550dtwn Colour Printer (Around £220/$420)
The Officejet Pro K550 means business, and whilst its photo printing isn't the best, it thrives in the office environment, where it can churn out page upon page of pie charts and the other stuff that keeps people in suits happy. The 'dtwn' model is the bigger brother of the family, both in terms of features and price, but the value for money is still impressive. It's number two because I think this is the best choice for the office environment, but doesn't quite have the all-round functionality of...
Canon PIXMA MP800R (Around £240/$450
It's number three, and we're getting to the more serious-looking models. The PIXMA MP800R is another all-in-one extravaganza, and it’s got more buttons than the space shuttle, a luxurious 8.9cm screen and direct printing from memory cards. If you're serious about photo printing, this is one of the best choices around, and the value for its relatively hefty price tag is not bad, not bad at all....
Brother MFC-640CW (Around £220/$420
Number four is Brother’s all-singing, all-dancing MFC-640CW. It's a fax, it's a scanner, it's a photocopier, it's a printer. It'll choose your mother-in-law's birthday present and it will do it all over wireless. It doesn’t have a huge screen but it's enough, and it comes with a multi-functional memory card reader. The price and function set make it ideal for the small office that could do with just one fewer wire.
Canon PIXMA iP5200R (Around £115/$220
In at five is Canon's PIXMA iP5200R. When Canon released the iP5000, people raved about the quality and speed, but there was no network loving. Well, add a '200R' and you can get the same printer with wi-fi. Easy Peasy? Well not quite – no LCD screen means fiddly PC-based setup. But you're only going to set it up once, and for this quality and function set, you’ll do well to find anything else at the same price.
Printing Press
A printing press is a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring an image. The mechanical systems involved were first assembled in Germany by the goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg around 1440, based on existing screw-presses used to press cloth, grapes etc., and possibly to print woodcuts, which were printed in Europe before Gutenberg. Although both woodblock printing and movable type printing press technologies were already developed first in China, and Korea in East Asia several hundred years earlier, Gutenberg was the first in Western Europe to develop a printing press

Creativity
What Is Creativity?
Creativity focuses on the process of forming original ideas through exploration and discovery. In children, creativity develops from their experiences with the process, rather than concern for the finished product. Creativity is not to be confused with talent, skill, or intelligence. Creativity is not about doing something better than others, it is about thinking, exploring, discovering, and imagining. Creativity is found in the obvious art and music, but can also be found in science and play. Because we think of art, music, dance, and drama as examples of creative ideas, we may have forgotten that creative thought is found in all aspects of a growing child's life and can be learned from daily. Just look at how creativity shows itself when a scientist discovers a cure for a disease, how a business owner decides to increase sales, how the grocery clerk bags the groceries, or how a parent finds a way to entice a reluctant child to head off to bed.

Box
Make your Product save.....
What is a Box Shot
A box shot is a 3D image of a software box. Box shots can help your software sell better. They project a professional image and give your customers an impression of a quality product. A boxshot is a great marketing tool. It encourages visitors on your website to examine your products in more detail. Having one on your website gives you an advantage over your competitors. The reason is simple. The software with a better packaging will stand out from its peers.
ConnectCode Software Box Shot Maker
ConnectCode Software Box Shot Maker is able to create realistic images of 3D software boxes from existing logos and promotional materials. The user simply provides two to three images, adjusts the box orientation and saves the result as an image file.

Wallposter
We can create stunning high resolution posters from any images you like, at standard sizes or large format prints. Whether you need a child's photo turned into a poster, a tradeshow poster, a presentation poster, a fine art giclee poster print, or a new product poster for your office, we'll turn your images into custom full color or black and white posters at competitive prices.
We can help you with the poster design, and we can even capture images for you in our photo lab if needed. If you already know what you want and have the files, you can just send them to us so we can get started printing your custom poster.
Our posters are printed on solvent-based inkjets or high resolution lightjets, rather than water soluble inkjets or printing presses. These posters are extremely durable, and even weather resistant for outdoor use, right off of the printers. Unlike water soluble inkjet printers, we don't need to charge you extra for laminating - providing you with instant cost savings. And since we don't need to set up a huge printing press for a single run, we don't have any minimum order requirements and we don't have to wrap "re-tooling" into our poster printing pricing structure.
We can print your posters on a number of different materials, including inkjet paper, photographic paper, and adhesive back vinyl. And we can print your posters at virtually any size - from very small, to standard, to extra large!
Envelope
Make your Impression..........
The process of Jet Printing an envelope consists of taking pre-manufactured blank envelopes and running them through a printing press (Jet Press) specifically designed to print envelopes.
The Jet process is typically much more economical than traditional envelope printing and converting for shorter runs (under 1 million envelopes) because the Jet presses are smaller, easier to set up and run, and require less overhead.
With our newest addition, a Halm 4 color Jet Press, Bernadette's Jet Envelope Division now operates 12 jet envelope presses that can produce up to 65 million envelopes per month in up to 4 colors in one pass.
Because of our flexibility, we offer 5 to 7 day turn around on most orders, as compared to 3 or 4 weeks with traditional envelope converters.
Call us today and see how Bernadette's Jet Envelope can deliver high quality printed envelopes that save you time and money.
