Afternoon All,
Now I have picked up a number of really good print suppliers over the past 12 months (some suggested on this forum, so thanks for that!) but I seem to be lacking an affordable Large Format supplier. I have recently ordered some A0 large format posters for one of my customers, and ordered from a local printer which I have used for a long time and actually used to work for. Where possible I like to order local and keep it in the family so to speak.
Both myself and my customer are really happy with the print quality and the product as a whole, it's just that they are finding the cost a problem. Where possible I have to add a print management fee to cover meetings with the customer, doing the leg work with suppliers, submitting orders etc., but I will find myself having to forgo that unless I can find a cheaper large format supplier or cheaper technology to achieve the same result.
The spec and cost I have been ordering is as follows...
A0-sheet poster, printed full colour with UV inks on 200gsm Satin paper and Gloss Encapsulated.
Price: £43.00 Per Poster + Delivery @ £9.95 + VAT
These posters need to be fairly resistant, hence the UV inks and encapsulation as they are put into a non-watertight A-Frame on the roadside outside a hotel for 6-12months.
Does anyone know of a reliable print supplier (trade or otherwise) which specialises in large format printing or might be able to better what I am paying?
Any suggestions welcomed!
Kind regards, Emlyn :thumb:
