Easyprint opens
Easyprint starts printing for the businesses, clubs and families of Bude and North Cornwall from Unit 1, Red Post. It opened on 1 April, and no, it wasn’t a joke.
Our story
Forty-odd years of ink on paper
April 2016 · Dad’s Place
Dad’s Place begins
From Dad’s old bedroom, with a 24-inch printer, we start Dad’s Place to share our late father’s photography and print people’s own photos and canvases.
Christmas 2017 · Dad’s Place
Blame it on Crufts
Gentle Foods Company need roller banners for Crufts, so we squeeze a 44-inch fine art printer into the storeroom at home and accidentally start doing commercial printing. They’re the reason for every headache we’ve had since. (We love them really.)
2019
Room to grow
Easyprint moves from Red Post to bigger premises at Stratton View Business Park, just off the A39, with more room to print, finish and pack.
May 2019 · Dad’s Place
Out of the bedroom
Dad’s Place moves out of the bedroom and into Unit 6, Transport House. Considerably more room, and nobody’s bed in the way.

We buy Easyprint
The pandemic hits and nobody’s buying personal prints, so naturally we buy a whole printing company. As you do. Easyprint becomes part of the family, and stays independent and local.
November 2023
Built for the weather
We add a Mimaki printer, so our signs and banners can live outdoors. Cornish weather, do your worst.
August 2024
Keeping it in the family
Matt joins the team, so Easyprint stays a proper family business. He’d like it noted that he’s the favourite. He isn’t.
2025
45 new business clients
Forty-five local businesses start printing with us in a single year. Thank you, every one of you.

The art side grows
We start working with Adam Piper of Adam Piper Art, and printing for local artists becomes a growing part of what we do.
January 2026
Bound to happen
A bookbinding machine arrives, so we can bind booklets and documents in-house too.
May 2026
The gallery opens
Our gallery opens to support local artists and to sell Dad’s photography of Bude and the North Cornish coast.

Big plans
We’ve got big plans. We can’t share them yet, but there will definitely be ink involved.
