Does any one use Printing.com?

[Ossett town AFC]

Hi UKBF

Haven't been about for a while now but after reading a post on another forum I thought I'd get some opinions from a busy and helpful forum.

The questions I have are simple.

Does anyone use Printing.com and why?

As I say the reason I ask is this was posed on another forum (4N) which stated "Prinitng.com aren't the cheapest or best" and "if you do you are being seriously ripped off"

And do you feel like you receive value for money from them?

I must admit I have used them before and felt the prices are purhaps a little high but you can at least guarantee a good product that is delivered on time.

I have used printing.com in the past, before MK Printing of course

What I didn't like was all the added extra prices. If you see business cards offered at £49, trust me it will be at least double that price one you add on file hecking, VAT and delivery.


Good quality products though.

Hear good praise for them all the time. Personally have found them a little highly priced but thier quality is excellent.

I have used them several times, good quality, no problems, they seem to offer good value if you take advantage of the offers that they seem to have quite regularly.

I used them for a set of business cards and was pleased with the results. They do have some very good special offers. I think (as with a lot of things) it's important to state clearly exactly what you want.

We have used the one in Manchester and found them to be excellent.
Quality products and service, reasonably priced and continue to use them for our printing.

I've used them at least twice for flyers. Brilliant service. For an extra £20, they'll hold your hand through the entire process (I designed my own flyers, so the CMYK colours were a bit off and as a result, had they not been so proficient, the black would have looked crap/saturated).

They're not the cheapest, but they provide a top notch service.

I used them for the first time this year mainly because they are in my BNI Chapter. I got a 1000 business cards off them and I am very pleased with the result. They tweaked my existing design making them in my eyes a whole lot better. They compared favourably enough on price with other people I've used in the past.

We have used them several times and find their prices and quality superb!!!

Never had any problems with them and we will continue to use their services

We're in competition with them! (at least on products where we overlap)

Printing.com have a great tree-planting scheme
(through the TreeAppeal - over 50k trees planted),

Similar concept to our own long-running Toptree
(through the Woodland Trust - we're over the 80k
mark now , but we have been running longer).

They have a good product base, some of which I'm sure we don't usually produce, or have
tended to cater for only on larger jobs, so we don't publish a tariff for a lot of it, meaning we're
POA for a lot of products. (CFH Product Range) For Print
and mail, we have Docmail - we print and mail letters, cards etc. to their end address.

At CFH used to be a trade-only printing company so haven't got a huge consumer presence,
and don't have highstreet shops (just the outlet on our factory), but we've been expanding
products for small businesses for some time & are generally competitive on price.
(see ClickClickPrint for business card pricing as an example)

Hence, I get the feeling their "if you do you are being seriously ripped off" statement is aimed
at some of the highstreet printshops/franchises who do seem to charge over the odds.

[printingcom]

Printing.com are a franchise though too, aren't they?

Hi Boxby

The majority of our outlets are franchisee-owned and operated, yes, although we also operate company-owned stores too.

Hi all,

I can't comment on any one printer but if anyone would like a price comparison on their printing, we offer a professional print management service. In most circumstances we can save our clients money on their printing/design. In all cases the quality is absolutely first rate, we can offer samples on request.

If anyone wants a specific quote on any printing, please send me a PM.

Cheers,

Matt
