A4 colour printing

Hi chaps - I've been quoted a couple of hundred pounds for 1,000 A4 leaflets ... I will need to print more of these throughout the year and was thinking maybe I should buy a printer (probably laser not inkjet) myself, has anyone any experience of this ... I guess after toner cartridge costs it's probably not a cheap option ... any advice please ... Roger

    Not just a laser printer and toners (which are not cheap) and an expensive printer if you want colour, but special paper for printing leaflets, so it may be cheaper getting them printed
  • do they have to be A4?

    Printing might be less hassle.

    Aye leaflet paper, costs a fortune...
    Some people should learn to be quiet when they know nowt.

    OP have a look around, flyers are cheap and the most expensive but is the setup.
  • Once you hit 1000+ then offset printing is likely to be cheaper, and glossy leaflet stock looks and feels much better than copier paper.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
