TESTIMONIALS

The Jewish Chronicle has been printing at Trinity Mirror for over two years. The print, quality and service have been second to none.

Our account manager provides a very professional service, and it is a great comfort that the team are available 24 hours, including our contacts at the print site - very professional and always available to discuss new ideas.

The quality of the printed product is excellent, and I don’t remember having any print quality issues throughout our contract. It is a pleasure to work with the whole team, and I hope to work with Trinity Mirror for many more years.

Inside Time is a unique and relatively complex publication to produce and manage. As such, it is critical we have a strong relationship and support from all our suppliers.

Trinity Mirror have taken the trouble to understand our business and fully engage with us. Our expectations in both quality and service are always met or exceeded, and the willingness to assist in any way possible with any special requirements we may have is always there. For this we are very grateful.

Director, Inside Time

First News was launched as a heat set printed publication in 2006, and vibrancy of colour and print quality in general are very important to us as publishers. For that reason we had ruled out cold set printing. However, when we reviewed our print options a couple of years ago, Trinity Mirror offered to run test print runs to demonstrate just how good their cold set printing can be. Following their help - and considerable patience, as we were slow in making the final decision to switch - we moved our printing to Trinity Mirror.

The team have been very supportive at all times, giving advice on how to get the most out of cold set printing, and by suggesting new improvements in paper etc.

The results speak for themselves. The publication looks better than ever and we are very happy with the excellent service we continue to receive from Trinity Mirror.

I would highly recommend the team at Trinity Mirror. As well as excellent support and advice, the paper is printed cost effectively and extremely well.
