Professional Printers/Paper
Discussion
Hello
Another question for you.
Where can i find a professional printer (as in a piece of hardware) which can be used to print leaflets, flyers etc.
e.g. I create a high-res file for client and then when client says go to print i can print the number of leaflets etc that they need on a certain paper etc
So some it up is there anywhere i can buy a printer which will do this? are there any online sellers of these kind of printers.
Also where can i find various types and thickness of paper to use?
Thanks in advance

Are you looking to set up as a design and print service? As I've seen your other post regarding design packages.
As a warning from someone running a business in the industry, do think carefully before taking the leap. In the 50 mile radius of my local area, 6 printers and too many to count graphic design companies have gone out of business in just the last 12 months.
Make sure you have a guaranteed client base who won't be easily tempted by the competition, keep your overheads lower than low, and where absolutely possible, keep a couple of freelancers happy in your back pocket.
Always happy to discuss the design and print business, so feel free to get in touch.
I'm more interested in searching for a reliable printer to just as an extra service to offer clients.As a warning from someone running a business in the industry, do think carefully before taking the leap.

e.g. complete some design work and supply client with final draft but for instance if they wish to go and put the logo on some business cards and letterhead i can offer them printing but then i put this work through a print company.
I was just exploring this avenue to see if it was cheaper to do this.
