From 18th – 25th May, the NEC will be taken over by 1,200 exhibitors in second largest Print Exhibition in the world, IPEX. Here at Print Monkey we are looking forward to seeing new innovations in machinery, paper & ink technologies. Andy is also particularly hoping he get his paws on one of the presses […]
Kenny on the killer
Just love the sound of the Yamaha TZ750 flat tracker, a bike so powerful it was later banned by the AMA. In this clip Kenny Roberts rides the dirt oval at Indy some 30 years on, no warm up or practice, nothing !! 90mph, no front brake, tip it in and nail that throttle. Check […]

I don’t think any printers out there would recognise it […]
Spring has sprung!

Waking up to beautiful crisp, frosty, blue skied morning on Tuesday, the car keys stayed firmly in the cupboard, out rolled the mountain bikes and off we went to get muddy on the way to Monkey HQ! After going over the dirt jumps, Andy even stopped to buy daffodils […]
So true…..even today
As you know we went along to the touring GF Smith exhibition at De Montfort University this week. It was a fantastic opportunity to see how a company marketed itself throughout the decades and I was surprised to see that their sample books were just as fantastic in the early 1900’s as they are today!
