Firstly, are you UK based?

I use a mix of suppliers depending on job. Quick stuff, or 'off plan' type jobs go to GP Print in Peterborough - a local printer i've worked with for 5 or 6 years and is brilliant at getting stuff out the door quickly, and dealing with awkward or custom stuff. I have an annual run of 50 or so...

Or, alternatively, find a local reliable printing firm to partner with. It'll probably work out cheaper.

Your problem is trying to print on photo paper with a laser. Glossy photo paper is for photos, not for invites. If you want to print photos, buy a dye-sub printer. If you want invites, buy a different card stock.

I recommend Pete at GP Print - 01733 340622 -excellent for short runs. If you can combine multiple jobs of different design but the same size and stock in one order that's a handy way to reduce your costs.

Hi all, Anyone got a reliable supplier of full colour stickers on a clear backing? Bit specialist for my normal printers. 70x110mm Quantities 100-1000. Cheers

90% of my print work goes through one supplier at the mo, whos local and i have an excellent relationship with. For the bread and butter he's brilliant, but for stuff like lamination and 'nicer' finishes the prices are not as good. Therefore trying to add a couple more printers to my...

Dear all, Now my level of print work is increasing the selection of suppliers i'm using for various jobs is widening. How do people manage pricing/spec? Is it literally a case of online lookup at each supplier/phone quote or does anyone have a system/spreadsheet dump of prices? Thoughts on...

Have you tried to get a business account? Its surprisingly easy. I set mine up at 17 with Lloyds, when i was 18 i moved it over to HSBC so it was free. HSBC are excellent, go into a branch and say you'd like to open a business account and they'll get it all sorted.

Speak to Pete @ GP Print, pboro. 01733 340622

Ive just bought the HP 7500A All in one. £149 from Staples, but with £60.00 cashback. Its wireless, faxes, and is A3!!! WOO! :p

I can quote for this - will come back on here in the morning with a price

Placed the order this morning, this is the final design and gloss highlight pattern i've gone for - thanks to Bigdave for his suggestion - i've gone with it, it had crossed my mind earlier in the project but i hadnt thought much more about it til then.

by the front, do you mean the White side or the stripey?

As they say, your own work is always the hardest. I'm doing a quick restyle for 2011 and looking at my business card design. Never had doublesided cards before, but thought i really ought to showcase quality- so am going for doublesided full colour, matt laminate with Spot UV. I have...
