New print centre for our manuals

For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

A product has been a great hit if you go out and buy another of the same. Our workhorse Xerox N40 printer has printed all our manuals since we moved to Melksham

and opened our own training centre ... it's survived the building works going on all around but, alas, with old age the toner cartridges and spare parts are getting hard to source and it's running warm.

So we've retired the N40 from active daily life and purchased a more recent (faster, higher capacity) model from the same stable. Here's our new Xerox N4525 print centre - it'll print up to 45 pages per minute, double sided, on paper up to A3 in size. The bulk sheet feeders hold up to 2500 sheets each.

Do we really need such a workhorse? Yes, absolutely! A typical set of course notes is more like a book - around 70 to 80 pages per day ensuring that our trainees can concentrate on what they're being taught rather than having to scribble notes all day with aching arms. And the fact that we do our own printing in house means that we can update our notes frequently and produce tailored manuals quickly and easily. I think the "in term" is print on demand

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
