Top Ten Tips to Buying Print

  1. Ask for a written quotation. If you ask more than one print provider, make sure that you provide each printer with the same written specifications. This will help you compare the quotes in an apples to apples way.

  2. Helpful printers can often save you time, trouble and money so be prepared to listen to suggestions and recommendations.

  3. The majority of printers or print agents are honest. However, some may be tempted to treat your work based on their own preferences and priorities. Seek a provider who you feel can be trusted.

  4. Once you receive a quotation, clarify anything that you don’t understand or recognize. It is better to address any concerns at this stage rather than further down the line when it could be too late.

  5. When you place your order make sure you receive an acknowledgement. Check that the details match and are in line with your requirements.

  6. Always check your proof carefully even if it takes some time. Remember once you sign-off on the proof you are approving the printer to proceed with the order.

  7. Don’t wait until the last minute to place your order. While printers do their best to meet deadlines, the risk of errors increases if the job is rushed. It is best to allow extra time just in case things change or problems arise.

  8. Choosing the right printer is important. A printer’s equipment will determine what jobs they do efficiently, so select the printer who best meets your needs.

  9. Run your ideas by the printer right from the start. Early communication can eliminate wasted efforts and save time.

  10. If possible, try to work with standard sheet sizes. This reduces waste and saves you money.
