Why are your prices so low compared to other printing companies?Over the years we have been able to reduce our prices significantly, we have been able to do this by continually investing in the very latest technology and machinery. All our presses are of the very latest technology and have the quickest setup times available in the industry, we don’t outsource our print like a good 70% of online printers, its all printed in our factory in the East Midlands on our presses. What do I send you to print from?Creating files for commercial print is not quite the same as just creating a file you are going to print on your desktop printer or copier, we have a full guide on ‘supplying artwork files’ which whoever is creating your design really needs to go through and understand before you place your order. If design is not your cup of tea don’t worry, we have a team of professional and qualified graphic designers in house who can take care of this for you, we simply have two options on our pricing page: If you only have a paper copy, then our designers will have to recreate it for you as we need a computer file to print from, scanning your existing copy will not produce very professional looking results, so you would need to opt for ‘please create my design for me’.
Digital vs Litho? What's the difference?Digital and Litho printing are 2 completely different processes of print, although they are different the final result will still be a stunning and vibrant full colour print.

Why doesn't my print match what I see on my monitor?The reason why colours on a computer screen may look different from what you see in printed materials is because they use different ways to create colours. Computer screens use light to create colours by mixing red, green, and blue. In contrast, printed materials use ink and paper to make colours, and they use a different set of colours: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Because of these differences, what you see on your screen may not look exactly the same when it's printed on paper. Other factors like the type of paper and how much light is around can also affect how colours appear on paper. To make things more complicated, every computer screen and printer can be a little different, so it's hard to get a perfect match between what you see on your screen and what you get on paper. This is why sometimes colours on a screen may not match what's in printed pictures.
I've got a file I want to print, but needs slight ammendments to it..No problem, if you have a print ready file but need a slight amendment to it, say the phone number needs updating for example, please contact our customer services team and they will happily quote for the amendments once they have seen your file. (Prices for amendments start at £10.00).
Why can't I add more than one order into my basket at the same time?Unfortunately our automated system links your turnaround option to your order, so duplicate orders with different turnarounds in your basket would confuse our software. If you have more than one order, you will be required to complete the checkout process again.
If I order, say x500 business cards, can i split my quantity (i.e. 2 x 250) between two names?No. Your order occupies only one 'slot' on a much larger sheet with other orders of the same type, So you can only have one file printed for each order.
When do I upload my print ready files?Once you have paid for your order on our fully secure payment page you will be asked to upload your print ready files to our server (please make sure you have read through our 'supplying artwork files page' before uploading, we want your order to go through smoothly like 99.9% do.
Will I see a proof before you print my order?Yes. The system we have in place for proofing your artwork online at the end of placing your order will show your file exactly as it will be printed. Here you also have control over editing your artwork to allow for bleed, borders and safe areas for print - to make sure your file looks just how you want before it is printed. Colours will obviously vary due to monitor settings compared to CMYK print (see the Q above 'Why doesn't my print match what I see on my monitor?').
How long will it take to get my order?We offer 3 different turnaround / despatch times, you simply choose which suits your deadline and budget on our pricing page;
Can I track my order?Yes, when we despatch your order our couriers will usually email you with the delivery date and a tracking number / link, which you can click and view all your tracking information live on the couriers website.
Do you deliver outside the U.K / can you delivery quicker or can I collect my order ?We charge a modest amount for our standard next day delivery no matter what size the order is, and also offer a Saturday pre 12pm delivery as well as various options for shipping outside the UK mainland - all of these options are available in the delivery service dropdown menu at checkout.
What if I miss my delivery?If nobody is available to sign for your order at the time our courier attempts delivery then a calling card is left by the courier, it will have a telephone number on it which you will need to call and rearrange delivery of your order directly with the courier (there is no need to contact us as the courier has your order at this stage and you will be best to liaise with them directly to arrange a suitable delivery time).
I've placed my order but want to cancel, can I ?We run a very tight ship and all orders placed are processed literally within seconds of you ordering by our automated system, remember we can process over a thousand orders in a day so we have to be efficient and quick off the mark to guarantee our despatch times.
Do I have to pay vat:V.A.T is usually zero rated on a leaflet/ flyer and is only chargeable on a leaflet/ flyer if it is used as admission, discount on admission or a product/service. V.A.T is also chargeable if the leaflet is designed to be written on, for example on a form or area of a leaflet to be completed. V.A.T is also chargeable if the leaflet is to be used as a postcard. A detailed description of V.A.T print rates is available from HM Revenue and Customs (click here). Most other products on our website are vatable and will be charged so at the checkout. If you have placed an order which we feel should be subject to VAT we will contact you on receipt of your order to discuss. What if I cant find the product im looking for?If you cant find the product or quantity you require please give our customer services team a call and they will happily quote for you.
Is your packaging branded in anyway?No. Around 60% of our customers are 'resellers' of print so all of our packing is plain and unbranded - there will be no mention of our company name on any labels or boxes whatsoever.
How do I pay for my order?Payment is taken securely using an online payment portal with your Credit / Debit Card at the time of order however we can take payment by cheque/ bank transfer by prior arrangement. Please call our customer services team for further information, ordering online is by far the quickest way of ordering and other forms of payment can add time to your turnaround.
Can I track my order?Yes, when we despatch your order our couriers will usually email you with the delivery date and a tracking number / link, which you can click and view all your tracking information live on the couriers website.
Why doesnt your file uploader work?It does work! In fact, we have 1000's of successful orders using it every day! Please be sure to read the guide/ tutorial on how to use the software, and make sure you have 'popups allowed' and 'cookies enabled' on your computer whilst using our software. Also, please don't try to order using your phone or a mobile device as it will most likely fail - it wasn't written for such devices. If it still doesn't work, try another computer (it is most likely a more advanced security setting issue).
