ABOUT MIKE ASHFORTH
From typewriters to 3D printers in 30 years! I started my career selling typewriters for F H Brown of Burnley in 1989 and am still enjoying the remarkable changes in technology we see and use every day.I remember looking at a daisywheel and thinking wow, that\'s clever. Now we can print almost anything imaginable and PPD can help you with that journey. With cutting edge technology from Konica Minolta, Mimaki and Fiery, our products and expertise help you choose the right products to get your business growing.We have recently added the PPDPrepress suite to our portfolio which we will provide FOC with all new and refurbished cut sheet presses. The suite includes imposition, numbering, variable data and barcodes as standard plus loads of additional features and benefits to our customers.Another feather in our cap is the recent certification of Industrial Products from Konica Minolta, which include web label presses and inkjet packaging presses.The final piece of the jigsaw is 3D printing. Working closely with our partner Hybrid Services/ Mimaki, we have invested in full colour 3D printing tech to truly bring creative content to life.Our approach is refreshing and focused on service. Feel free to contact me directly for advice on any aspect of your digital print requirement.
