Many thanks to everyone for your help and advice.
Having approached the printing company with your
many helpful ideas I discovered the company to be
run by a gentleman of limited imagination who was
unwilling to accomodate any suggestions.  So the
upshot is - we changed to a company that has PCs
and who are interested in providing a complete
service to their clients.

Many thanks
Dave
