    Printing any quantity above about 100 at home will cost you far more in inkjet carts then using a local print shop. And the result will (should) be better too.
    Many print shops will offer a design service at extra cost, if not you'll need to find a graphic designer who will not charge too much for simple jobbing work.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    As above

    Home printing not really the ideal way to promote a business.

    Look for a local printer in your neighbourhood and find out what they charge, for full colour printing .. You'll probably be surprised at how cheap they are.

    For a new business, a quality leaflet will be far better in the long run than cheap home printed sheets.

    Good luck in your venture anyway

    Also have a look at Vista Print, l know you said you cannot afford it, however play around with designing a flyer etc add an order to the basket and leave it, within 48 hours if not sooner you will get an email offering a discount which may be more within your budget.
    Have a look at Vista Prints large postcards, ideal for putting through doors, placing in shop windows and even putting a stamp on the to post.

    You do really need to find some funds for advertising.
  • Thank you very much to all who replied. I will go to Vista and see. I have my photos of my own work so wanted to have that on the leaflet. Will go the postcard route i think. You have been really helpful.
    Kindest Regards to you.

    Have a great day. x
