Seasonal Bilbo Bug

I have the marketing bug and just in time for Christmas. A big thanks to our buddies at Bilbo for supplying a Christmas bug our customers are catching with pleasure.

We plan to spread this good cheer throughout our print shop customer base and constantly remind them of our Colourfast Christmas cheer by seeing their gifted Bilbo bug on their PC, desk or coffee machine.

Spread some cheer in print for just a few pence.

Thanks to Bilbo Bugs.

Colourfast Christmas Card Reprint From 1984

Technology has moved on a tad since our pioneering days introducing full colour copying to the south coast. Our Canon ColourT was three colours, no black toner and engineered inhouse.

Fast forward to 2024 and we will be printing our retro Christmas card on our new Xerox Versant 240 that is being installed in our new walk in print shop in the City centre of Brighton. Thanks to our local Xerox print specialist Peter Ryan at DWS. www.colourfast.co.uk • www.dwsl.co.uk

ANTALIS’ CREATIVE PAPERS CREATE ‘MAGICAL MERRIMENT’

Creative Power by Antalis is behind Mount Street Printers’ magical Christmas window installation for 2023. Titled ‘Magical Merriment’, the window display is a celebration of paper and the Christmas tradition of sending cards.

The display was designed and produced by Joyanne Horscroft of Makerie Studio, whose clients include Harrods, Gucci and Fabergé among many other prestigious names. It features a variety of coloured and tactile papers from the recently relaunched Keaykolour and Curious ranges, which are part of a portfolio of premium creative paper brands from Antalis.

Central to the installation is a red post box made from 3 shades of Keaykolour papers in 300gsm: Guardsman Red, Prune and Carmine. Beside the post box sit a model of Huxley, Mount Street Printers’ resident whippet, and a robin watching a flurry of Christmas cards fly into the post box; both of which are artistically made from Keaykolour Biscuit and shimmering Curious Metallics Super Gold.

Alex Cain of Mount Street Printers commented: “Our window for this year is imagined beyond the sentiment of gifts and decorations. The intangible yet essential warmth in receiving a thoughtful and timely Christmas card, sharing your conjured festive spirit and spreading it with those you love.”

Sales Manager for Creative Papers at Antalis, Vicky Weatherington, comments: “It’s been a joy to once again work with Mount Street Printers and Makerie Studio to develop yet another stunning and impactful Christmas window display with meaning. Antalis is all about celebrating the creative community and supporting the Print industry — and this is a wonderful example of that.”

The installation can be seen in the window of Mount Street Printers, 4 Mount Street, London, from now until 5th January 2024. www.antalis.co.uk
