Our History

It says at the bottom of most of these pages "Printabook is operated by Microfilm Ltd, trading as Microfilm Digital Print." The name Microfilm comes from our original microfilming work and although we no longer provide this service the name has stuck. We've been operating from the same site in Victoria Street, Christchurch, since 1970, 40 years.

Printing Books

We have always been leaders in new technology and in 1995 we began investing in high volume digital printing equipment for the production of short run on demand books. This investment continues and our up to date digital systems allow us to print just as many books as you need, including colour on any page. Our in house services include design, printing and binding.

Book Specialist

Hi, my name is Joanna Cairns. I look after our book printing customers and will probably be your first point of contact.
It is always satisfying to see a good book put into print. I have a degree in Fine Arts and am also studying part time towards a library qualification.
I enjoy helping people with their own creative projects and take care to see that you get the best possible result. If you have questions about our book printing service that aren’t answered here I would be happy to help.

Designing Covers

Hello I'm Victoria. I come from a family of printers and I've been in the industry all of my working life. I'm a creative graphic designer and it's my job to design covers for your books. I'm always interested in the topics and wide spectrum of life written about in the books.
