Working with David has always been a pleasure. He is knowledgeable, personable and always keeps me up-to-date as the project progresses, including taking the initiative to suggest solutions to any issues that crop up as well as proposing cost-effective alternatives to specified materials and processes. He is a careful and attentive collaborator who goes above and beyond to make sure the finished product is of the highest quality.

David Arkell at &Printed has always been our go to at HUNGER magazine, even when we have changed printers and paper, he’s always managed to facilitate the best deal for us to keep on producing a high quality publication. David is friendly, approachable and always the true professional – even under the most stressful of deadlines and at times a lot of pressure from us as a team, his expertise in the field means he is an experienced problem solver – he is a good ally to have in tricky situations! David is hugely knowledgeable in his field and has helped with the publication of books, special editions and pull outs, he executes all requests with ease.

Congratulations on the fishing book – it is utterly fantastic, I love it. Great paper stock choice, amazing printing, really incredible on such a stock. I love the cover – really it’s brilliant. Great work David – your clients should love it as it’s truly a great piece of print – but that’s only because you managed it all. With ‘AndPrinted’ you are most certainly the ‘and’

It is a privilege to have David as our print partner. He is committed to making things happen and goes above and beyond to help make our vision a reality. His communication and responsiveness meant that we were always in the loop and informed at every stage from ideation to execution. David takes pride in his work, and it shows in the quality of the pieces. I cannot speak highly enough of David’s expertise, dedication, and professionalism.

I’ve worked with David several times over the years, David knows the print business inside out. He offered great advice, communicated clearly and offered great value for money. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

David and I have worked together for some 20 or maybe 30 years. During that trek, he has worked diligently and so professionally to deliver what we strive to produce. He gets it. He is your best representative in print. He does the hours, ticks the boxes and is a right hand. Left hand too, come to think of it.

I have been publishing art books for 10+ years. I have used print consultants in the past but haven’t always seen the benefit. Working with David is different – he makes it possible to have complete control over the process, and be strategic. Its more than just about print, it is about collaborating to engineer the best product for our audience and our business needs. I never feel like anything is impossible, or too much to ask. We are very honest with each other, especially when it comes to budgets. We are also spending less on print as a result of David’s connections and negotiating skills. Really it’s a no brainer, I can’t imagine working any other way now…

David has an incredible eye for detail. His knowledge of the industry and the many processes involved from pre-press, ordering specialist papers, colour correction, making adjustments on press, binding and finishing has made the whole print process stress free. Throughout he has shown a level of professionalism that inspires confidence. It has been a pleasure working with him on a three-book project and I recommend him unreservedly.
