Printers

I need some help with finding a good printing company. I have the artwork on my pc that i can send them.

I need to get printed:

Leaflets
Business cards
Double sided forms
Invoices

I looked at vista but someone has told me how they took lots of unauthorised payments.

Any help gratefully received.

    I still think that for things like printing it is worth doing a little bit of local searching. I've found the local printshop very helpful in terms of advising what is and isn't possible, best grade and finish of paper to use, and they can SHOW you examples. Then you know what you're going to get.

    Also our local printshop seems to have a card on their board for every business they've ever printed them for, so a little free advertising!

    Obviously you check prices: the one near work is excellent and very competitively priced compared to the one it's easiest to get to from home!

    Vista are good 'cos you can get 250 business cards free, well, for the cost of postage. You must be VERY careful what options you tick/untick otherwise you end up agreeing to pay for various "optional" extras..

    For leaflets I use: http://www.cannprint.com/ Full colour at a nice price.

    http://www.leafletsforyou.co.uk/ also come recommended for leaflets, although I haven't used them myself.

    (If you ask DP very nicely, I believe they will design your leaflets for free, too..)

    If using either of the leaflet printers just say "Calmore Carpet Cleaning" sent you... :)

    Hi Jules,

    I've just had some stationery delivered from a company called Creacom design. Must say, the quality (I went for double sided, matt laminate 400 gsm biz cards and 120 gsm comp slips and headed paper) is very very good, price extremely competitive and excellent communication from them.

    I would highly recommend them - https://www.creacomdesign.com
    Ask for Jacqui. PM me if you'd like more details.

    Best wishes,

    I can also vouch for Jacqui @ Creacom. Used them a couple of times for small print jobs.
