Kopykat would like to apologise to any of our clients who support Chelsea about our last blog but we will give you the right of reply

Transfer day deadline January 31st 2011

My nerves are shredded! Torres to Chelsea? why oh why Fernando? Barcelona I could understand even Arsenal if they would pay out for you but not Chelsea, Carroll to Liverpool would be good news though teaming up with Suarez, this transfer deadline day has more tight deadlines than the print industry!

New digital equipment installed

In December we installed a new digital machine the Xerox 700 with online bookletmaking this joins 3 Xerox machines we already have onsite and expands our capacity further, February will see the installation of another poster printing machine from Epson with a 64 inch wide capability again doubling our output in this area as it joins an existing poster printer, we also have two 5 colour offset printing presses and a single colour press this allows us to choose the best solution for the clients needs.

Sutherland House restaurant Southwold



I visited Southwold in Suffolk for New Year and ate with family and friends in Sutherland House Restaurant which I would highly recommend, on the 3 or 4 occasions we ate there the food was 1st class, all the food is sourced locally and in fact it recently won best UK restaurant for local produce from the Good Food Guide they even have their own allotment and have been awarded two rosettes. Southwold itself is definitely worth a visit with great pubs such as the Lord Nelson and The Red Lion, the beach is clean and safe and ideal for young children and reminds you of what the English seaside used to be like. www.sutherlandhouse.co.uk

A Tribute to Horatio Nelson

Just been given a job from really nice guy called David Griffin who is a Chelsea pensioner, Dave had an old manuscript written for Horatio Nelson as a tribute to him that he wanted to reproduce, it had been kept in a vault in Harrods, Dave nervously gave us the original, we were nervous as well, we immediately scanned the original as we were worried about damaging it, the manuscript dated back to 1805 and was the only one of it's kind, once scanned we retouched the document made printing plates and reproduced new copies for Dave who was then to distribute it through specialist booksellers Dave also wrote a booklet which accompanied the document Nelson & Victory at Cape Trafalgar. Some of the younger guys asked if I remembered the manuscript being printed originally blooming cheek!
