How to find the best digital printing company in the UK?
Finding the best digital printing company in the UK can be a very difficult task. And choosing the cheapest may not be the best. Price is not the only one thing to look at; there are plenty of other things to look at when searching for the right digital printing company. Here are some tips to help you choose the best digital printing company in the UK.
1) Ask as many questions as possible
During your tour of the premises, before or after, ask as many questions as you want to the printing company. The questions are important to make your choice: type of work they have already done, the type of paper and ink they use, the average turnaround, the kind of print press they have, the experience of the staff, the additional services your can benefit from,…This step will help you to choose the right digital printing company that better suit your needs.
2) Check the level of services
Some printers offer additional services to the initial printing of your documents. These can be the design of your marketing material, the data processing, the binding, the enclosing and mailing of your documents for example. Digital printers are sometimes direct mail companies too and can offer you very competitive prices for the printing and postage of your documents. Pay attention to all the additional services your printer can offer you, because it will reduce your cost if every step is done by the same company.
3) Ask for a guarantee
More and more digital printing companies guarantee their work i.e they offer you to do your print job again for free if the company did a mistake during the first run (wrong type of paper, unperfected printing,…). Ask the digital printing company if they offer this type of service, and if not ask them what will happen if they do make a mistake with your order. These things can happen so select a printer that ensures this type of risk.
4) Check the reputation of the company
To help you in your quest to find the best printer, do not hesitate to evaluate the printing company’s reputation. You can look at the client list, look at their website and their experiences in printing, how long established are they, ask for customer testimonials, etc…. You can ask their clients for recommendations and for samples of the work the printer did for them as well.
5) Use social media
Internet and especially social media contain tones of information about companies so use them to find good or bad returns of experiences about the printing company and their job. Look at specialised forums and ask questions about the printer`s quality. On social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin, you can also find information about their reputation and their services, and ask your questions directly to the company.
