PRINTING.COM PLC

("Printing.com" or "the Group")

PRE CLOSE STATEMENT

Post the last market update, overall sales volumes remain in line with expectations. However, there is evidence of polarized performance across territories. Trading in the Netherlands, France and Belgium is robust, whereas trading across the Group's established UK market softened further. The London and South East region, which had previously exhibited growth, also contracted.

BrandDemand (the Group's online system facilitating other multi-site clients to order branded printing online) continues to show month-on-month progress. The service is now operational in France and on the cusp of launching in the Netherlands.

Flyerzone.co.uk has recently been established, following the successful launch of Flyerzone.fr in France. Trading volumes in both are currently at modest levels.

The Company intends to announce its Interim Results for the six month period to 30 September on Monday 7 November 2011.
