Just grabbed another 7K as I feel that we've bottomed and are likely to rebound strongly on the back of the Hardman note.

From company paid analyst Hardman and co. 6-9-2010

PRINTING.COM
A new strategy taking Printing.com more heavily
into major client printing work via templates, giving
a broader spread of business than its current
reliance on SMEs, is in the process of being
introduced to the franchisees. We like
Printing.com's thinking, and will be publishing a
research note giving details of the new policy, and
its likely impact on the p & l account, shortly.
Current year trading has not been easy, but
franchisee numbers have held up well. Cash flow is
strong and will strengthen further when lease
agreements on printing equipment at the central
hub come to an end shortly; Printing.com will then
buy the equipment for a small sum. The high
dividend gives Printing.com considerable appeal to income funds, with the potential gains from the new strategy
currently not in the share price at all.

Working on a new note, could it be the push the share price needs?
I hope so
Hope the printing press is bought for a small sum, paid in cash!!

A month to go before we get the pre close trading update. What progress will we get told. The new order online working well and taken up by the branches? Stable market now in Ireland? Australia now open for business? Another state in the US to be rolled out? France continuing to expand? The UK trading as management forecast? 40 pence breached with a turn to growth seen to be on the Horizon?

or: as usual business trading as management forcast and results on.........

Don`t now if this has been posted, a bit out of date

Printing.comBUY 01/06/2010 Ben Jaglom
Amid deteriorating market conditions in the year to March, printing franchiser Printing.com suffered a 17.4% pre-tax profits drop to £1.7m, on revenue down 0.1% at £14.46m.

Founder and CEO Tony Rafferty explained that 'the printing market is dire, with other companies dropping 13-14%', though he assured Growth Company Investor that 'when the economic confidence returns to the SME market, we will recover as well'.

Rafferty believes the future of the business is in accessing 'nice accounts' such as large retailers, explaining that the plan is to 'set up what a company wants on a flyer on a template, so local managers can then use this template for individual promotions at a local level'. He added that 'in the second half of the year, we want to access accounts worth between £30,000 and £100,000, whereas today the average client is worth £450.'

Robustly profitable, Printing.com held the dividend at 3.15p and has £2.1m cash and debts of £800,000, though Rafferty is keen to point out that 'by April next year, we will have no borrowings whatsoever. We have had good cash generation for the last couple of years.'

For the current year, broker Brewin Dolphin forecasts increased sales and profits of £14.8m and £1.9m respectively, earnings of 3.1p and dividends maintained once again. Though Printing.com is not a bargain, trading on almost 12 times earnings and being so dependent on the wider SME market, Rafferty has ambitious plans to change the direction of the business to focus more on larger retailers and the shares do offer a bumper dividend yield of approaching 9%. Therefore, they are well worth buying for recovery.

Good to see the share price rise at the end of the day. Cant follow the movement as they all seem to be sales apart from the last at 40 pence. Maybe Monday make sense?

Here a bit of comment:

Printing.com unveils W2P strategy as trading 'softens'
Simon Nias, printweek.com, 16 July 2010

Printing.com has said that trading conditions softened slightly across its franchise network in June, ahead of its AGM in Manchester this afternoon (16 July).

Overall, trading has continued to undulate over the past quarter, although chief executive Tony Rafferty said the World Cup appeared to have had an impact on June trading, compared with April and May.

"It's not fallen off a cliff – it's just softened slightly, but when you look at our historical filings, it's not unusual for trading to drop a little bit during that [World Cup] cycle," he added.

In response to the continued uncertainty, the company has developed and published Vision 2015 – an internal strategy document designed to help its franchisees through the challenging economic climate.

An integral part of this document is the company's web-to-print (W2P) strategy, which centres around its soon-to-be-launched online templates, to be used by its network of outlets.

The company said the template-based W2P system would open new markets, particularly with larger businesses and multi-site operators, and would have a positive impact on second-half revenues.
