Effective immediately we have decided to introduce an in-house paper store. In any given year we produce work on a massive variety of different papers, but some are requested far more than others and produce very impressive results.
As such we have selected a number of papers which we believe are the best of their kind and we expect to remain available for years to come. By purchasing these in bulk we will be able to ensure constant availability as well as the best possible prices.
To encourage the use of environmentally friendly grades of paper, a number of the papers we stock will be partially or fully recycled, thus making them more affordable for everyone.
To view our selected stock lines, click here. We currently have a list of available stocks online and will be updating the list with further details over the coming weeks. Check back regularly as we will occasionally have various other stocks (ones being discontinued for example) at low prices for one-off jobs.
Also pick up a copy of the March issue of Desktop magazine for our article on environmental responsibility, without the hype.

Toth Bienk & Associates is pleased to announce that we are now a World Community Grid™ partner company. Along with 360 (as of this date) other companies and organisations across the world, we have enabled our computers to be used for scientific research via grid computing technology.
This means that whenever any of our PCs, Macs or servers are running idle or with low processor usage, they connect to the WCG and begin processing complex scientific data along with hundreds of thousands of computers across the world, effectively making one of the most power supercomputers in the world.
Please clink the link on the right or the logo above to learn more about our involvement with the WCG and how you can join our team or even create your own. For now we will have all WCG information in our Featured Projects section, pending a major site update.

Just a brief update today. We had an article about printing with Spot Colours in the August issue of Desktop Magazine. If you didn't get a chance to read the magazine, we now have the complete article online for you to view via the link on the right of this page.
Please note that the file is a 4MB PDF and may take some time to download on a slow connection.

We have three bits of news for this update. Firstly we have written an article about printing with spot colours for the August issue of Desktop Magazine which should be available in stores and going out to subscribers already. If you're visiting this site having seen the article the best place to start is by clicking the links on the right for further technical articles we have written.
As of this week we have installed a new printing press, a two colour Heidelberg Primtmaster 74. This machine will be replacing our two colour Heidelberg MO and has a larger printable area of 510x740mm. The increased speed, reduced waste and quicker setup time of this machine makes it ideal for mid-large quantity print runs with spot colours and even four colour process on heavier stocks. You can see details of our equipment on the Our Equipment page under the Technical Information menu.
And the third bit of news is that unfortunately we still haven't uploaded details and images of our latest print awards, but for now you can still see our gold medal winner in Stationery on our Samples Page.
We hope to have some new articles, our first featured project and images of our other 2007 Print Award winning jobs shortly.

National Print Awards
The 24th Australian National Print Awards were held on Friday the 25th of May in Sydney. We received four awards in two categories, a gold and two bronze for Stationery and a silver for Two and Three Colour Printing.
It's taking us some time to get photography done, but images and details of the award winning jobs will be posted in the coming week.
In the mean time, we have uploaded the first part of our Production Process series. The first article is a basic introduction to producing a print job. Over the coming months we will be adding articles on specific aspects of the printing process and linking those to articles written by experts in each field to eventually provide a complete overview of the entire production process.
